provided you are willing to try. Don't
you see that in leading the boys of to-
day you will be helping to fill the
church of tomorrow with an earnest,
God-fearing, enthusiastic and well in
formed set of men? 1t is now, to-day,
that we are determining what the man
hood of tomorrow is to be: and it is
only by work now that we set the type
of Christian manhood for tomorrow.
The third point, perhaps, should have
been our first, but it comes last here
that it may be last in your memories
and your hearts. So here is the third
sense in which the Church wants these
boys-it wants them for their own
sakes, just because they are boys, and as
boys are so well worth while and worth
the saving. The boy has a great gift
simply that he has his boyhood, and
shall we not bend every effort towards
making that boyhood of the type that
he will be glad of through all the COM
ing years? Let us help him to realize
that Christ needs him as a boy, needs
his love, needs his service and his 10y
atty and that he can serve and fight
for his Great Captain best if in the
army of the Church. His life should be
made full-'full of action, of heroism,
of lov9'ty." Don't you see that the
Chur eeds them for just what they
are for their boyhood's sake.

Look about at the churches of your
own town and see the groups of boys
that gather every time there is an enter
tainment of any kind. You wonder
where they spring from, and then per-
haps you wonder where they vanish
away: And then when Christmas comes
they suddenly appear again, and some
of the people who ought to know better
| begin to talk about the depravitv of
boys. Is it a sign Of depravity to go
where things are made attractive and
cheerful, and to be rather glad to stay
away from the places that are unfaiI-
lngly solemn and suppressed? l cannot
think so, and yet when a boy comes
voluntarily and promptly to the enter
tainment, which every one concerned
in has endeavored to make attractive.
and then just as gladly stays away from
the Sunday-school that is allowed to
run just as the tired and faithful few
may elect, there are those who think

we wake up and begin fastening the
blame on the proper parties, for the
boys have carried the load that by
rights we should be shouldering. The

suit the mind and body of the grown

why you should consider it. but time
will allow of only few being mention
ed. First of all the reasons we will
put this one:
1. God wants the boys. The follow
ing lines may help you to remember
this
God wants the merry, merry boys,
The noisy boys,
The funny boys,
The thoughtless boys
God wants the boys with all their joys.
That He as gold may make them pure,
And teach them hardness to endure;
His heroes brave He'll have them be,
Fighting for truth and purity
God wants the boys.
2. Satan wants the boys. Do any
of you doubt that for one moment? We
have but to walk the streets of our
towns and cities to see every evidence
that this is an indisputable fact-and
should we not bow our heads in shame
and sorrow to note another fact equal
~ easy to prove, that his infamous and
dastardly cause does not lack for lead
erS? These servants of the enemy of
mems souls do not spare money, time
or energy if by some chance they may
bring our boys into like slavery with
themselves. Do they set more value on
boys soul than we door does it
just appear so? The old maxim, Gao
tons speak louder than words" seems
to rise up and condemn us. 1t is time
for us to arouse ourselves, and to
cease hanging back waiting for others

could not do much, that you are not
gifted to lead, or perhaps you think
there are plenty of others to do this
work. Just go back to our text for a
mOment-surely no one would ever have
thought that by the lack of one horse
shoe nail the result of a battle would be
changed, and yet because of the lack
of that very small thing 'the kingdom
was lost"
g. The Church wants the boys
That is also a fact that can be definite
ly proved though a casual observer
might we'll question the truth of the
statement The Church wants the
boys in three senses: First, it wants
them in the sense OF desiring them,
longs for them, yearns over them.
Many a boy passes through his years of
boyhood into young manhood without
ever realizing this, for the curse of
repressed feeling hovers over many
congregations. They think the boy
ought to know that they long for him
but how many break through this re-
preston and tell him 50 in such way
as to win him for the clover of mems
souls?" The second sense in which
the Church wants the boys is that it
needs them. Surely none of us have
10 look ar to find churches with wo-
full lack of men present at the services,
and many reasons are given for this.
One point that is well taken is that the
boys of to-day get little training and en-
couragement in church attendance, or
in church affairs of any kind, and so
the call comes to us to get hold of these

PACKERS ASK
The Court to Have the
Jury Return Verdict
in Their Favor.

Chicago, March 12.-Attorney John
s. Miller. counsel for the packers In
the immunity hearing before Judge
Humphrey made formal motion late
this afternoon that the court direct
the jury to return a verdict in favor
of the packers. This was while IA
Dana Durand, government statistician.
Was on the stand. When Durand fin
ished and the evidence was closed,
District Attorney Morrison made
cross-motion that the court exclude
the evidence and direct the jury to re-
turn verdict in favor of the govern
ment
Mr.. Miller then began arguing his
motion. He went over the history Of
legislation which led up to the beef
investigation, referring to the ,Sher-
man act, the act of congress in 1903
which created the bureau of corpora
tions and the resolutions OF congress
calling for thk investigation. He
said he was convinced the action of
congress was intended more to REM
edy bad laws than to cause punish
ment. The jury was excused during
the argument.

WALL STREET
Interests Thoughtto Have
Brought Judge Ham
iIton Back.

New York, March 12.-'Judge" An
drew Hamilton, the insurance legisla-
tive agent, came down from Albany
today for hurried visit to New York.
1t is expected that he will consult with
the Fowler investigating committee Of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany during the next few days.
While refusing to discuss insur-
ance matters, Hamilton said:
"Some interesting things will de-
yelop later, but in the meantime you
must excuse me from discussing the
matter"
This statement was made directly
after the report got abroad that Ham
ilton had made clean breast of
everything to District Attorney Je-
rome and had given list of guilty leg
islators, with amounts alleged to have
been paid to them as bribe money.
The report of Hamiltons confession
to the district attorney was discred-
tied by the best authority.
ANDY MAY CALL.
"Judge' Hamilton will be more
powerful influence in the legislature
this session than ever before" said
man who claimed to have good
ground for his assertion. Don't make
the mistake of thinking that he is
going to tell Jerome everything he
knows. No doubt he would like to
create the impression that he is will
ing to give Jerome the names of legis-
lators who have been bribed. That is
part of the scheme. This session
Andy's power Will come not from the
lavish use of money, but from his
menacing attitude towards legislators
with whom he has dealt in the past.
"The insurance companies and other
Wall street interests brought him
back here, not to clear McCall's name,
but to do the work they wanted done
in Albany. They believe that Hamil-
ton can be of more value now than
ever before, simply by the judicious
and careful utilization of threats.
Every legislator who ever took a
cent of money from corporations is
likely to receive visit from Andy and
to be told that any tendency toward
hostility to the insurance and cor
poration interests will be punished
by. full exposure of the legislators
bribe taking. In this way the legis-
lator is more likely to do Hamil-
tons bidding than when he was paid
to do It,"

others at Sandusky, has received an
other jolt. In September he sold to

ment had not been approved by the
courthouse commissions as required
by law. Further work ON the improve
ment has been stopped by order of
court. Hughes has been directed to
remove his material from the prem

Boise, Idaho. March 12.-The SUI

Governor Steunenberg. Judgment was

alleged crime was committed.

by Mr.. Tillman, of South Carolina,
who took occasion to answer in one
of his characteristic speeches the con-
tentions of President Roosevelt on the
Tillman- Gillespie resolution into the
alleged irregularities in the shipments
of coal and oil.
The president contended that the
resolution was weak in that 1t did
not provide for the delegation OF
power to administer oaths and compel
witnesses to appear before the inter
state commerce commission, and that
it failed to provide the necessary
money to defray the expenses incident
to the proper prosecution of the in
quiry.
TILLMAN'S EXCEPTIONS.
Senator Tillman took exceptions to
these contentious. In emphatic terms
he claimed that the language in whicn
the resolution was framed was of suf-
ficient character. There were times
when the senate and Mr.. Tillman were
in a broad grin over the apparent et-
fort of the fiery South Carolinian to
curb his tongue.
Fate recently enlisted me as an
ally of the president in securing au-
Nequate railroad rate legislation" he
explained, "as my whole soul has been
enlisted in this question before this
year or last l don't want to appear to
criticize the president or do anything
that might occasion any disruption Of
the amaciable feeling that exists or
seems to exist between us"
He closed by insisting that the pres
ident was wrong and that the resolu-
ton was all right.
Senator Lodge (Rep., Mass) answer
ed Mr.. Tillman, defending the presi-
dents action and stating that it was
taken only after most mature deliber-
alton.
