FAYErrx, o.
REvEREED sR-we. the undersigned, being
earnest readers Of your sermons, especially re-
quest that you use as a subject for some one Of
your future sermons "Advice TO Young Mem"
Yours respectfully,

Those six young men, suppose, repre-
sent innumerable young men who are
about undertaking the battle Of life, and
who have more interrogation points In
their mind than any printers case ever
contained, or printers fingers ever set up.
But few people who have passed 80 years
Of age are capable of giving advice to
young mon. Too many begin their counsel
by forgetting they ever were young men
themselves November SHOWS do not un-
derstand May time blossom week. The east
wind never did understand the south wind.
Autumnal goldenrod makes poor fist at
lecturing about early. violets. Generally
after q man has rheumatism In his right
foot he Is not competent to discuss juvenile
elasticity. Not one man out of hundred
can enlist and keep the attention Of the
young after there is bald spot on the
Uranium.
I attended large meeting in Philadel-
phia, assembled to discuss how the Young
Mems Christian association OF that city
might be made more attractive for young
people, when a man arose and made some
suggestions with such lugubrious tone OF
voice and manner that seemed to deplore
that everything was going to ruin, when
an old friend of mine, at rs years as young
in feeling as any one at co. arose and said,
"That good brother who has just address
ed you will excuse me for saying that
young man would no sooner go and spend
an evening among such funereal tones OF
voice and funereal ideas of religion which
that brother seems to have adopted than
he would go and spend the evening in Lau-
rel Hill cemetery" And yet these young
men of Ohio and all young men, have
right to ask those who have had many op-
portunities Of studying this world and the
next world to give helpful suggestion as
to what theories of life one ought to adopt,
and what dangers he ought to shun- At
tention, young menl
The First Step.
First, get your soul right. You see,
that is the most valuable part Of you. 1t
is the most important room in your house.
1t is the parlor Of your entire nature. Put
the best pictures on its walls. Put the best
music under it's arches 1t is important to
have the kitchen right, and the dining
room right, and the cellar right, and all
the other rooms of your nature right; but,
oh, the parIor of the soul! Be particular
about the guests who enter it. Shut Its
doors In the faces Of those who would de-
spoil and pollute it. There are princes and
kings who would like to come into 1t,
while there are assassins who would like
to come out from behind its curtains, and
with silent foot attempt the desperate and
murderous. Let the hlng come ~; ne
