For many generations ministers
sons have been treated unfairly. They
have been catalogued by themselves.
They have been regarded as a little
different from other boys. There is a
suppositiOn that they ought to be bet
ter than other boys, mixed with a con-
viction that they are not This con-
viction not uncommonly goes SO far as
TO hold ministers sons to be just like
other boys, only worse. There is no
gainsaying the fact that, particularly
In country towns, the preachers boy is
constantly under gratuitous surveil-
lance and usually under suspicion. If
ripening watermelons have been plug
ged," an orchard has been robbed or
any other deviltry has been committed,
the one to whom the finger of suspicion
points, as the needle to the magnet,
Is the preachers boy. His reputation
has been fixed in tradition, song and
story, and it is bad. But he has been
done injustice. 1t is not true that the
preachers boy is worse than other
boys. The old superstition has no
foundation whatever In fact. The rec
ords are decidedly in the preachers
boys favor. Think for a moment of
Emerson, whose ancestors had been
ministers for five generations. James
Russell Lowell got his training in a
minister's home. Oliver Wendell
Holmes learned to tune his Tyre In his
fathers parsonage. Henry Ward
Beecher sprang from the loins of a
grand old minister of brain and Drawn.
This is good list Of preachers boys,
but 1t Is by no means complete Look
ing at the records Of literature in Eng
land you will find the same thing, only
more of 1t. Addison, Thomson, Gold
smith, Coleridge, Cowper Young,
Montgomery, Heber and Tennyson
We're sons OF ministers. Turn to phi
losophy and you find the same story.
Dugald Stewart, Reid, Abercrombie
and Bentham We're parsons sons. In
general literature are to be found null
titudes of preachers sons-Swift, Ma
caulay. Thackeray. Kingsley and Mat
thew Arnold-at the head Of the list
OF the eminent men of the recent past
or still living are these sons of preach
ers: Lord Chas. Beresford, Lord Cur
2on, Cecil Rhodes. W. r. Stead. An
thony Hope, K. II. Blackmore, Henry
James, Marcus DodS and Grant Allen
Such names as these. supplemented as
they are by uncounted thousands less
conspicuous but none the less useful.
ought to be sufficient to rescue the rep.
utation of the preachers boy.

Great Is the power of truth! But
error also is not without its value, and
the world would go more heavily on its
way were all the misconceptions and
false beliefs to be banished from 1t by
single edict. Who would be the first
to tell the plain girl that she has neith-
er charm nor beauty, and will never be
desired? The knowledge would be like
ly enough to paralyze her effort to be
good and amiable and useful, and the
mere stolid endurance that she might
call to her aid Is poor substitute for
the more genial virtues. The ambitious
girl dreams of earning money for a
college course. Who would take the
heart out Of her effort by telling her
that she has ambition without ability,
and that she Is better fitted for general
houSework than for teaching Latin? 1t
may perhaps be that the very desire
for achievement leaves it's beneficent
mark on human character. Who would
tell the self-sacrificing mother that her
son is not worth her trouble? Who
would tell the faithful teacher that the
student repays her devotion by care
less ridicule? Who would tell the min
lister that his parish is ready to re-
ward his years Of service by rank in
gratitude? In short, who would go
about this workaday world destroying
those illusions which irradiate life
with glory not the less lovely beca ause
1t is unreal? Like sunsets and rain
bows the gorgeous colors may them
selves be f1eeting and unreal, but as
reflections of things that are real they
bring for the moment cheer and cour-
age, and these are we'll worth the keep
