structions Of good men and women
than TO have them roaming the streets
OF hunting for some mischievious en-
ployment?
At the coming convention there will
be addresses by some of the best Bible
school workers in the state. If you
are interested, come and have your
interest quickened and learn of the
manner in which the work is being
systemized and placed on practical
basis. The better conducted schools
are no longer run in the old haphazard
way so familiar to our fathers and
mothers, but would put to shame
some Of our public schools in COMPARE
son Of system and order. If you are
not interested, come out and get inter
ested in one Of the noblest tasks ever
given to mankind to perform-that of
training boys and girls to become
lovers Of the right and forever foes of
the wrong.
II you would put down the saloon,
II you would eliminate graft and clean
up our citizenship-train the coming
generations to a better, higher way of
living, prefering the clean, honest,
industrious life rather than the life of
the streets and the vile associates of
vice and idleness.
