WHAT GEORGE T. ANGEL SAYS.
A great deal is said in our COLLEGES and
schools about the courage Of the soldier
and very little about what seems to us
the infinitely higher courage OF thousands
In other positions Of life
=, We dc not think the brute courage of
me soldier, who fights simply for glory
ana pay, shooting down whoever he is
ordered by his commanding officer or
government to kill or fighting for his
country when his country is in the
wrong is any more deserving Of praise
than the brutal courage of the prize
hghter, the bull fighter or bulldog, or the
rooster who fights other roosters when
his owner orders.
But very different kind of courage Is
that OF the fireman, who risks his life to
save other lives from burning buildings:
or the coast guard, who risks his life tn
save the lives of drowning sailors; or the
policeman. who risks his life to ston a
runaway horse in the crowded street Of
a city, or in other ways to protect the

A WORD TO
BOYS

going to make a coarse man. When you
are making plans for future you do rot
want to think of yourself as the friend
of loafers or rowdies; nor of men who
are always on the ragged edge of bust
ness and social affairs. Y ou want in that
future time to know men. Solid, honest
men, whose words are to be relied upon
and whose actions can be looked at by
the world.
1t is well to be friendly with every
body, but there is no reason why any boy
should be weak enough to make chum
or who lives in the same block, or for
any reason, except that they are helping
each other to grow into good men.

THE NECEssITY OF PRAYER.

The Christian Endeavor topic for May 4
is found in Matthew XVI, o6-46. NJ
prayer is recorded in sacred history 50
pathetic and so comprehensive as the
prayer of Christ in Gethsemane. 1t put
God in His place; it manifested SubmiS-
sion to the will of God; it recognized the
fact that God is and should be supreme
in all things and that we are absolutely
dependent upon His will. He agonized
for the sins Of the world; He kept His
favorite disciples nearest to Him; He
warned His disciples against the dangers
before them; He showed sublime resig-
these He Illustrated the Importance and
necessity of prayer.
Christ felt the necessity Of prayer a
pouring out of the soul IN all of the con-
Germs Of this life. He also felt the need
of prayer in the great moments Of His
life. Before choosing the twelve He
prayed adj night. Before calling Lazarus
from the dead He looked to God in pray-
er. Before the trying ordeal of the cross
He sought favorite place of prayer and
poured out His soul in devotion and in
agony unto God. And If in the crises
of His life He, the Son of God, needed to
pray, how much more do we in our weak
ness and ignorance
Our constant need Of God proves also
the necessity of prayer. If our need Of
God were only occasional. then nraver
would be only an occasional necessity
Our thought would be, in the language
of the verse:
II need Thee every hour.
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford
/ need Thee, oh, 1 need Thee:
Every hour / need Theel
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee!"
The temptations of life are constant

THAT BOY.

He'd been entombed in a haystack,
Seen run over by a sheep rack,
HAD the fever and the ague and the
chills:
He'd been bitten by a black snake.
Had neuralgia and the tothache,
Measles and hundred other Ills.
He'd been chased by a steer,
A scythe had sliced his ear,
He had fallen from the house-top on mis-
head:
His clothes had caught afire,
He'd been pummeled by his sire
Till twas really very strange he wasn't
dead.
He'd been fshed out Of the lake,
Taken poison by mistake,
And once when for refuge he had fed,
They found him white and still,
In the cyclone shattered mill,
But he soon proved to them he wasn't
dead.
Tomorrow he'll be ten,
One of our coming men,
] suppose he'll soon be looking for
wife

Who seemed to be SO very full Of l1fe?"
