Lotte NJ. Holmes. Crichton. Ala.-Dear
Cousins: Tonight as l sat reading the nice
newsy letters from my many cousins, these
thoughts came to my mind: why can't |
write a letter to The Junior?' Then came
the thought. what shall 1 write about2"
At that instant my eyes fell upon letter
written by "Scroggs," of Moorevile. Tex.
Then and there l resolved that would try
TO aid him in his great work
Girls. II makes me blush with shame 10
see IL written that 1.-THE boys of our land
and country are on a higher moral stand
ing than the girls are" but. girls. almost
believe 1t to be true.
Let us make a resolve that we will try
to influence someone TO do better, but TO
do this we must let our light so shine as
to guide others thereby.
Girls don't offer wine or any strong drink
10 your boy friends. Just stop and think.
Perhaps he has decided to do better and
maybe 10 quit drinking. but you offer him
a glass of wine, which he is ashamed or
rather too big coward, to refuse. Then
he goes from bad TO worse and maybe at
last fills a drunkard's grave. How Will you
feel then?
Boys, can't You be men enough 70 say
mol" when tho wicked entice you to
smoke. chew. drink or do that which you
know is wrong?
Let us all take the Bible for our guide and
IL says. Wine is a mocker strong drink Is
raging and whosoever is deceived thereby
Is not wise
For myself. say. LIPS that touch liquor
shall never touch mine"
The best motto is: Touch not, handle not
taste not"
Let us all try TO be morally better.
