The Methodist pulpit was filled last
I Sunday evening by W. B. Cox, who
spoke from Eclesiastics II and 8, IRE
joice, Oh young man, in thy youth He
said in part, 1.-THE young were to be the
ones who were to shape the destiny OF
our country's future as we'll as their
own. The young needed Christian
training at home and strong food for.
both mind and body. They did not
need cigarettes and yellow backed liter
ature." He said that seventy-five per
cent of our young men were not church
goers. That two hundred thousand of
4 our young men go down to drunkards'
graves every ten years. That you could
/ make more people mad by talking
than any other way. We know they do
not like to hear Of such things. Just
tell man when he throws out a great
quid of tobacco that he just had that in
his mouth but he cannot get anyone tc
pick it up and he straightaway is mad.
His sermon like his subject was full Of
good food for thought. He made good
use of the last part of the text, "But
know thou, that for all these things God
will bring thee into Judgment You
miss something when you fail to hear
such sermons. He says our young are
better than they used to be as we have
more men who do not use tobacco and
strong drink than formerly. 1t does
one good to see and hear that the world
is getting better, that our young will
have better time and not so much bad
to contend with. 1t is our duty as par
ents to see that posterfty is better than
preceding generations. Speak and
work against these evils even though
you hurt some one. His wound will
heal without scar.
