Now, Boys and girls. we want to talk
little with you this week on "Idle-
ness Tdleness is the bane of mankind
and the beginning of II great many evils.
II person Is not engaged in something
good they will naturally engage in
something evil, for everyone will en-
gage at something. A great many
boys and girls get into bad company
through idleness. Many boys and girls
idle away their time on the streets
when they should be at school. They
become careless and reckless and at last
acquire bad habits. Many parents are
to blame. for they should have their
children under control and keep them
from evil. Skillful business men and
good housekeeping women are those
who were busy when young and under
the control of good parents.
We can idle great deal of time away.
So many people are satisfied by doing
nothing. once knew a boy who was
exceedingly lazy at school. He would
sit all day and simply do nothing. He
never made any noise, never whispered
or disturbed any one, never got into
mischief nor played any tricks One
day the teacher came along and struck
him blow with his rod The boy
jumped up and exclaimed, 81 aint doing
anything" "That's just it," said the
teacher. 81 want you to do something"
A great many people are like this boy;
they think they are all right when they
are doing nothing. We must not only
cease to do evil" but must 'learn to
do we'll" When you go to school do
not idle your time so that when you
grow up to be men and women you can
be able to say, l improved my time
while at school, for as we begin life we
must end it. Live for something Be
not idle. Look about for useful employ
ment and remember
'Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do"
And again, "An idle brain is the dew
lis workshop"
