Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-10-22

Usually those who share most
largely the good things of life are
those who in early life have been
carefully trained. A boy can de-
ve1op his body. How I admire
fine specimens of physical boy
hood we mean to develope the
boys physically in the gymnasi-
UNI, the boys brigade, the out
door sports, and athletic contest.
IF anybody thinks we are going
to make young sports" of our
boys they are mistaken. We shall
teach our boys (and girls) the
beauty and sacredness of the hui
man body; the necessity for it's
good care; how to care for it, how
to use it; how to develope it; how
to cure bad habits. This can be
done only through intimate ac-
quaintance with the body, and
through systematic, symmetrical
development.
We may fail in saving some
boys, but we don't believe we
shall fail in many cases. What
shall be the boys life work?
Well each one must choose for
himself. How good that each
one may be fitted for his own
kind of labor. Whatever ones
calling let's use our three fold ma
ture in upbuilding society-in
helping others. This is a big,
nice old world, and there are lots
of good people in it. There is lot
of good in you, Find the good
in others, find the bad in you,
root it out and develope the good.
Then when we live and labor,
this old world may be made an
Eden, and the righteous inherit
the earth.

Subject:-wHAT CAN A BOY DO.
We might conclude from some
peoples talk that a boy may be
analysed as follows:
rs % stubborness: 25@o curiosi-
ty: $50 wrigg1e twist and awk-
wardness: 1919 devilment and SD
human.
Some men never we're boys.
Hence they have little patience
with boys. They never turned
summersaults in mothers pansy
bed, never got into the strawber-
ry jam while mother was away;
never played hooky, never ate
greenapples.
Some however remember that
they were once boys. The only
material that has ever been dis
covered, from which to make
men, is boys.
The first man missed much
from never having been a boy.
Oh mothers at home, be happy
you are the uncrowned queens of
earth. "A good mother" is the
highest compliment in the Ian
guage. What can boy be, we'll
he cannot be an angel, nor a man
nor girl. He can be a natural
boy.
What can he do?
A boy can play. I admire the
boy that through play prepares
himself for the arduous duties of
mature life. The way to be most
truly happy is to be the most
useful possible.
A boy may deve1ope his moral
nature by thinking of others. If
you want to be a natural boy,
think about other folks.
| admire the boy that processes
to be good, but the safe way is to
do more than we say, actions are
more eloquent than words.
There should come a day and
an hour when the whole self and
life should be surrendered to our
Heavenly Father, and our Lord
Jesus Christ, and when we begin
the new life. That is a happy
day, and after that all days may
be beautiful and happy.
Many religious people are not
very pious. Boys don't be too
religious, but be as pious as you
can. Keep your morals the best.
Don't talk religion too much, talk
about righteousness.
Do for others. True religion
is not in our clothes, our food, our
talk, our prayer; it consists in
doing the will of our Father.
Pure religion is to help the faith
erless and widows and to keep
unspotted from sin.
When we get our gymnasium
class and our boys brigade. I
am greatly mistaken If we do not
more than once help the widow,
and together help in identifying
our city. AS we boys develop
our muscles we are going to use
them in doing for others.
Some talk of heaven away off
yonder when we are old. We
think it is better to have Heaven
here and now. Boys use your
fine muscles to protect the girls
you are their natural protectors,
and if necessary, as last resort
fight for their protection.
Its a good thing to 90 to church
