Leaving Home
AN ORGANIZATION WHICH LENDS /
HELPING HAND TO YOUNG MEN.

| HELPING HAND TO YUM MEN.
| When hoy leaves his home to 60
away to the city to engage in business
or other occupation, that event marks
one, If not the most important, step in
his life. Many young man has thus
left his old friends and associations, and
with courage land faith has entered
vigorously into the stern competition of
city life, and won success to himself,
and brought honor to his parents and to
his old town.
Very much depends, however, upon
| the influences which surround the
young man during the first two or three
weeks in the city. One of the first
difficulties which .confrGnts him Is the
securing of good boarding house and
providing himself with the right places
to spend his evenings. The young man
has social nature, and must associate
himself with other young men, and if
he has no place in which he can spend
his leisure time the street corner be
comes his resort. The young man who
| loafs upon the street very quickly finds
himself in places of questionable resort,
and before long he has become an habit,
ual attendant of these places, which will
lead him to ruin. 1t is just at this time
that the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation opens its door to the strange
young man.
A few years ago the Young Mems
Christian Associations were simply re-
ligious society, with meetings on Sunday
afternoon, and Bible class, perhaps,
also, with a reading room, offering a
place for the young man to spend his
evenings, and on Sunday the oppoftu-
mites for developing his religious life.
To-day, the Young Mems Christian AS
sociatlons have become institutions, and
the young man who comes from his
country home TO the city will find
magniicently equipped gymnasiums,
trade schools, social clubs and training
schools. The young man need not join
the Association now simply for 3 resort
TO spend his spare time, but jim with a
definite purpose of training his mind and
body for the sharp competition In bus
mess and shop life. Many young men
who have had little advantage in their
b ,mes, in the trade school classes of
the associations have acquired trades
which have given them splendid pol

Text. Mark 10 90, "For My sake"

These simple words which form my
text are stray little gem that cutsory
reading Of the Gospels would pass by.
1t seems to me, the longer you
contemplate 1t, to increase Its brilliancy
until It holds in its email compass whole
world of meaning, as it is seen to en-
prace the whole motive and purpose of
the true Christian life.
Those who first settled the Territory,
now the State, of Idaho in the years
Just after the close OF the Civil War were
seekers after fortune, searchers for
gain at any price. They did not go to
Idaho to found schools and colleges, nor
to build churches they went to Idaho to
make money. And, as the influences
which are introduced Into State at the
start long continue to shape and mould
Its life, so that self-seeklng, worldly
spirit remains in Idaho to-day. There
are scarcely any public schools in the
State worthy of the name, there is scarce
ly anything in the State that approaches
our idea OF what Christian home should
be, with but one exception there are nc
Christian colleges there. That one ex
ception, and it is noble one, Is Weisel
Academy. 1t was established a few
years ago in the basement Of church
by few Christian people who thought
something must be done to save the boys
and girls of Idaho, since little could be
done for those of maturer years. The
leaven began to leaven the lump. Those

who went to the basement of the church

ting, deserted the public schools. The
basement walls were too confined. Ar

the dint of hard scrubbIng, by the ha, Z.
Ing Of few pictures, but, more than all
by the presence of real Christian sym
pathy and life, the hotel was meta
morphosed into Christian academy and
home.
One day boy came to the school who
was preceded by bad reputation. He
had the reputation of being the worst boy
In Washington County, and that was
pretty bad. The evening this boy came
to WeIser academy, one of the teach
ers met him in Ithe parlor and
said: II am glad to see you. We have
been looking for your coming. We
have little boy that we think great
deal Of; he ID our best boy, and am

him, and want you TO set good ex-
