 One was impressed with his extreme
 youthful appearance. He has sweet
 radiant countenance and simple style.
 He was costumed in pure white linen,
 with a black cord and black cross
 around his neck and black belt cord.
 He did not announce any text but just
 looked at the boys and he at once se-
 cured their attention. He said: There
 is no boy who likes to be fooled, no boy
 who likes to be lied to, but there are
 three lies boys would like to believe.
 The first lie is this: There is no harm
 doing what is your nature to do. Some
 strong points were made Restrain
 your nature; learn to overcome and not
 do wrong, because it comes easier. If
 thing is wrong don't do it. The sec
 ond lie: There is no harm in doing
 what others do No boy likes to be ridi- euled or guyed or called goody, goody. The speaker told a story of son of an engineer who ruined his fathers engine by yielding to others and doing what he was tempted to do. Resist evil. do not listen to evil. listen to common sense.
 The third lie: We are in the world just
 to have good time He urged upon the boys to aspire for higher life. Character rests upon looking to Christ for aid; building upon the sure founda- ton The speaker then taught the boys a little prayer of three lines and asked them to say 1t once day for a week and told them he had said it every day for thirty years: and when old they would look back to this church in Fair Haven and the strange man who taught them This is the rayer:
