WANDERING BOY.

''Oh where is my wandering boy to-
night" has been sung thousands of
times with wonderful tenderness and
pathos, but how many OF the singers, or
hearers, ever gave heed to the pertinent
inquiry of the song? Statistics are
frequently published showing the great
majority OF our boys spending their
nights away from the better influences
OF home. As they grow into youth and
early manhood they seem to grow into
the world and worldly ways. II the
singers plaintive question could be
answered publicly in any ordinary
meeting where the song is sung, it
would cause tremendous sensation,
and many n heart would bow down in
sorrow and pain. For some reason it
is just as well that the nightly haunts
OF 1.-THE boys" are not specifically mem
toned in local public meetings, and yet
the matter Is one of common report.
The boys are too often out OF home, out
OF the church and Sunday school, out of
organizations Of moral character, and
into the world "for all it is worth"

away all day, and come back at mig hit

uncommunicative. II it is ever sug.
