The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1900-03-31

ing for the son TO come home AT night.
II is IL o'clock, 1t is half-phst IL o'clock
il is one o'clock The son comes through
the hallway. The father says: "My
son. what docs all this mean? ! gave
you every opportunity. Igaye you all
the money you wanted, and here in my
old days | find that you have become
a spcndthrift, libcrtinc and Il sot."
The son says: 'Now, father, what is
the use of your talking that way? You
told me to go il, and | just took your
| suggestion" And so TO strike the me-
| dunn between severity and too great
lcnicncy, TO strike the happXjmedium
| between the two and to train our chill
| drcn for God and for Heaven is the
| anxiety OF every intelligent parent.
Some go 10 work and try to'correct
all this, and the boy is picked at and
| picked at and picked at. That always
| is ruinous. There is more help in one
| good thunderstorm than in five DAYS of
| cold drizzle. Better the old fashioned
| style of chastisement if that be ncccs-
sary than the frctting and the scolding
which have destroyed so many.
There is also cause of great solicit
tudc sometimes because our young pc9-
| pie are surrounded by so many temp
tations. \ castle may not be takenb by a
straight forward siege, but suppose
there bc inside the castlcan enemy. and
in the night he shoycs back the bolt
and swings open tht door. Our young
folks have foes without, and they have
foes within. Who does not understand
it? Who is the man here who is not
aware of the fact that the young peo-
pie Of this day have tremendous tcmpta-
tons?
Some man will come TO the young
! people and try to persuade them that
| purity and honesty and uprightncss
are a sign Of weakness. Some man will
| take a dramatic attitude, and he will
| talk TO the yousg man, and he will say:
"Nou must break away from your
mothers apron strings. You must get
| ont of that puritanical straight Jacket.
! 1t is time you were your own master.
| You are vcrdant. Nou are green. You
| are unsophisticatcd. Come with me;
| I'll Show YOU the world. III show you
| lifc Come with me. lou need to see
he world. 1t won't hurt You" After
| awhile the voting man says: We'll

10 be peculiar. can't afford to SQcri-
! fee mi ujy friends. III inst 90 and see
for ,nyyrIf." Farewell 10 innocence
which once gone never fully comes
