To the Father OF d Boy OF Fourteen.

Church-1an.)
Il you are the father Of boy IN
the early teens tmay be worth your
while-and his-to have you note
what President G. Stanley Hall says
of The Awkward Age" in the cur
rent Appleton's Magazine. Here are
two paragraphs that strike US as
particularly pertinent and needed:
Before the early teens he says,
"boys are interested mainly in each
other, and are almost obllvious OF
grown-ups, who belong to another
world. Now this is often very sud
denly and radically changed. Inter-
est in the world in which adults live
and move and have their beings bour-
geons forth. The lad begins to
stretch and tiptoe up to mans es,.
tate. Nothing II the world so shapes
and moulds his very SOU! and char
acter as quiet, confidential talks with
grown men about the things they live
for and amidst. By such talks he is
hattered, stimulated, aroused to do.
be, think, feel his very best.
Nov it is just this moral father
hood that the world, and especially
America. is most deficient in and
practically sterile today. The parent
who will, at some opportune time
talk to his boy alone about his most
intimate views and sentiments con-
corning men, morals, affairs, life
plans, and all without arousing the
ever-present, haunting thought that
he is talking down, or for effect, OF
with reserve, will be simply amazing
at the appetite and assimilative pow.
er of youth, and at the influence thai
he can exert, even though he be edu
Gated in the schools, by simply shar
ing the lessons that the school Of
life and men has taught him. There
is a practical wisdom and insigh tia
nothing but years, age, and expert
ence can give; this is what the DO,
fairly Graves and digests with amaz
ing rapidity, and in so doing grow
by leaps and bounds. The fathe
who has never discussed such thing
with his son knows not what tn
true, higher parenthood is or means
and so is himself arrested in his de
velopment, and is arresting that o
his boy"

Slowly moving Principles.
Great principles and great lives,
like great bodies, move slowly. A
mans self becomes a part Of the
truth to which his life is welded,
and as this truth passes beyond the
limit of his visible existence and
takes It's endless course through the
ages the best part of the man is per-
petuated. Each life is a contriou-
ton to history; but few lives have
their historians. Heroic lives are
oftentimes written anonymously
upon the tablets OF time, and comins
ages never recall by name their
greatest benefactors. Some men are
dead while they are living: others
are living. while they are dead.
