SERMON FOR BOYS.

The following address by Judge
WoNord, Of Kansas City, to boys
gives advice that should be read by
every boy in the land;
Il have been on the bench four
teen years and during that time
thousands Of boys have been brought
before me, but not one Of them was
a constant attendant at church or
Sunday school or obedlent to his
father or mother.
Il have inquired Of many boys
what caused them to get into trou-
bic and have found that in most in
stances, staying away from home
and school, playing pool, hanging
around saloons and cigarette smok-
ing are responsible,
Start right, boys. TO be any
body, to accomplish anything for
yourself or the community you can
not be idle. Don't drink-liquor
destroys the mind and body, Don't
swear gentlemen do not. 1t is low
and vulgar. Don't read trashy lit
erature, 1t leads to the devil,
Don't hang around saloons, Good
men are not made that way. When.
ever you see a man lying around q
saloon the devil is after him and
will get him sooner or later, Benz
Franklin would never have accom-,
plished anything if he had been
guilty Of these practices, Be hon.
est above all things. Poor boys
make the best future citizens
