church members not in the Sunday
school work to report next Sunday
for duty-to keep the boys in Sun
day school by wall of fathers.
And then we treat the boys like child
ren, and talk them out and sing them
out of the school by singing songs
like, 81 am Jesus Little Lamb" or
"Two Little Hands to Work for
Jesus, Two Little Feet to Walk His
Way"
Third. Can he be brought In?
Yes. 1t has been done before, and
it can be done again. know Sun
day schools like the Grace Methodist,
of Urbana, and the Calvary Episco-
pal, of New York City, where the
boys outnumber the girls.
Fourth. How can it be done? Go
for them. Make them know you
want them. Send young men after
them. Believe in them. Make
your school hard to get into. Set a
high standard and keep it, Boys go
for things that are hard to get
Fifth. How can you hold them?
This is the most difficult question to
answer. For every boy you must
have special way Be interested
in them every day in the week. Give
them something to do Know and
call them by name. Never call
boy Club Make it hard for the
boy to get out. Follow HIM up.
Make allowance for the boy spirit.
Do not see everything he does, use
your blind eye occasionally. Have
class organizations with officers,
president vice president, secretary
and treasurer. Treat the boys like
men. Never say don't. The way
to get the boys to be good is to get
them to do good. The way to get
them not to read bad books is to get
them to reading good books Visit
them IN their homes and where they
work. Have them come to your
homes. Be tactful Be their friend.
Have sympathy with the boys. Many
boy or girl could have been saved
from degradation by sympathy. If
you would win and hold the boys
you must learn to love like the Naz-
arene."
