Another safeguard that want to present
70 Young men is a high ideal Of life. Some
times soldiers cous into battle shoot into
the ground instead Of into ths hearts OF cneir
enemies ThcE are apt to take aim too low.
and it is very often that the captain, gong
into conflict with his meO. will cry our,
Now. men. aim high The fact is that in
life q great many men take no aim ut all.
The artist plans out his entire thought before

the crayon or the chise': An architect thinks
out the entire blilding before the workmen
begin. Although everything may seen to be
unorCaniZed. that architect has in his mind
every Corinthian column, every Gothic arcn,.
every Byzantine capital. A poet thinks out

now: "Rememhrr the Sabbath day and keep

thy work. hui The seventh is the Sabbath OF
tn. Lord thy God: in ii thou shalt not 10 any

that al! this Was 4 fal!acy. aud so he SAIL.

plowed the field on the Sabbath. and then
he put in the seed Gu the Sabbath. an1 he

There is another safeguard TIA! | mt to
present. have saved it uutit the last be-
cause want it to be- the moro emphatic.
Toe great safeguard for every young man *
tho Christian religion. Nothing can take
ths place Of it. Yon may have Era: sfuuesS
enough to put to blush Lord Chesterfield,
3u may have foreign languages dropping
from your tongue, You may discuss laws and
literature. YOU may have 81 pen OF une-
Iualed polish and power. you may haveso
much business tact that You can get the
largest salary in 4 banking house. You may
bs rs sharp as Herod ant rs strong As
Samson, and with az long lock, as those
which hun: Ab2alos1. AMI YET you have no
safety against temptation. Some OF YOU
look forward to life with great dependency.
I know it. see it in your faces from tine
10 time. You say. "All the occupations and
professions are full. AMI there's no charcc
for me-" Oh. Young man, choer up!
will tell you how you can make your
fortune. Seek first the kingdom Of
;in:l aud His Righteousness. AMI all other
things will be added. J. know y3u Do not
want to be mean in this matter. You will
not drink the brimming cup of liis auI then
pour the dregs on Gods ;tltsr To Il Sener~

and in the name Of tho Lord Jesus Christ I
