A Young Mans wild Oats

SO far as young man sewing bis
wild OATS is concerned, writes Ed
ward w. Box, in some editorials for
young men in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, it has always seemed a pity to
me that the man who framed that sem
tence didn'L die before he cons ructed
it. From the way some people talk
one would imagine that every man
had instilled into him at his birth a
certain amount of deviltry which he
must get rid OF before he can become
man of honor. Now, what is called
sowing wild OATS is nothing more
nor less than self-degradation to any
young man. 1t doesn't make man
one particle more of a man because be
has passed through siege of riotous
living and indiscretion when he was
nineteen or twenty it makes him just
so much less OF q man. 1t dwarfs his
views of life far more than it broadens
them. And he realizes this afterward.
And be doesn't know one iota more of
''life," except certain phase of it,
which. if it has glitter Ger him in youth,
becomes a repellent remembrance to
him when he is matured There is no
such thing as an investigating period in
a mans life; at one period II is as i'm
portant to him TO be honorable and
true to the teachings of his mother as
at another.
No young man need seek the darker
side of life" The Lord knows that it
forces itself upon our attention soon
enough. 1t does not wait to be sought.
A young man need not be afraid that
he will fail to see it. He win see plenty
of it, and without any seeking on his
part either. And even if he does fail
he is the gamer. There are a great
many things which we can accept by
inference as existing in this world. 1t
is not liberal education to see them.
Too many young men have burning
itch to see wick edness-not to indulge
in it, as they ~e quick to explain, but
simply to ST But the thousands
of men who 4 never seen it have
never felt themselves the losers. If
anything, they are glad of it. 1t does
not raise mans ideal to come into
contact with certain types of manhood
or womanhood which are only re-
moved from the lowest types of the
animal kingdom by virtue of the fact
that the Creator chose to have them
get through the world on two legs in
stead of four. The Hottest ideal of
womanhood that a young man can
form in his impressionable days will
prove none too high for him in his
years of maturity. To be true to the
best that is within man means. above
all, to be an earnest believer in the
best qualities of womanhood.
