NO GETTING AWAY FROM TEMPTATION.

1t is SAID that young heir to considerable for
tune is being sent by his mother three year yacht
cruise around the world that he may be exposed the
temptations of life in New York.
No doubt this good mother has considered long and
prayerfuy this plan and has adopted with high hopes
But it is good
New York, wicked it is in parts has no monop-
oily of wickedness temptations
Vice extends all around the world.
Some parts of the world have not New York vices but
they have worse
If this young has power to resist temptations he
would be safe i'll New York anywhere else If he has
not power to resist them he capuate just easily
and often on the other side of the world at home
And is better to have vices Of only city than the
vices of many
journey around the world takes where there are
no Ten Commandments and treaty ports that suggest
treaty of amty and alliance with the Evil One 1t sub
jects to the travellers code Of morals and that is
the code of good home keeping folk
Besides young carries his temptations right with
him. The world is not wide enough for him to hide from
them Steam cannot carry him fast enough to leave them
behind. They as nseparabe from him his shadow.
Unless the poets have sadly falsied, the great wan
derers of the race-slmael Ulysses, Aeneas and their
brethren down to 3yron-were not in the sober-mnded
temptation resisting class.
Anyway, temptation is not thing to be run away
FROM but to be grapped with and overcome.
The really great and good the world over have
wthsood the fire of the furnace of temptations and come
out strengthened and purified
People of mere negative morality, who yielded to
temptation simply because they encountered it
never quite of themselves until they safely dead.
But then, neither is anybody else

other portraits succeeded, some in oils
