men we must run. because they are on the
run.
Some OF the people had begun to move
out, and the doctor said he was like an
old minister. who said he was travelling
preacher, but he could not preach to
travelling congregation. The man who
hits the mark in these days OF activity
must shoot without rest. Mothers must
take advantage of this and take the boy
while tney have chance. because he Will
soon be on the run and sho will not be
abl5 to reach him.
Young men must be reached quickly,
They are forging 10 the front. They are
getting Into Congress as early as the Con.
stitution Will admit them. and they are
also getting into tho panltentiary. IL Is
not thing of age. A man must keep
young, OF the young men Will soon or ovid

things. TheIe aro appeals made to his
fancy on the streets. In our anxiety we
are constralnei to say: rs tho young
man snfe?' He is not safe unless he Is
controlled by some higher influence.
He must DO held like ship to her
course. Hands on every side appeal to
him, to his passions. to his desires. and
lure him on to his destruction. The ga

power that is In these young men II we
can yet them at work on the right lines
Tho mighty 2ower that thIobs In the
souls OF these young men Christianized
could Weld the powers that would save
the world il We could use all the
tongues OF Christian men to act along
evangeic lines it would evangeIlze the
whole world.
Slrs. II II be the concern of men to de-
velop the hig hest powers of these young
men we will run to speak to them. A
young man with grit aud energy can at.
tain whatever he sets his mind to. |
speak to young men. Wat we do to you
we must do soon. We will soon be gone.
You will be gone Young men. consecrate
yourselves to His work and may God
bless you.
