TIE MAKING OF A BOY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

Said Superintendent E. R. Wharton
Of the Friendly Inn, Cleveland, o., to
Louis vosburg. aged seventeen years:
''You can do anything in life that you
really want to do"
That was eighteen months ago. Vos-
burg was a butchers boy, making So
per month. He had his home in the
notorious Andes alley" and was ut
terly without ambition.
This young man took absolutely no
thought for the future. He had enough
to eat, place to sleep and chance to
spend his wages as fast as he drew
the money.
He had no envy of the young men
who were pushing to the front He
probably thought if be thought at all,
that these young men had some sort of
pull" or graft Of some kind. That
he should aspire to do better never
entered his head until Mr.. Wharton
put the idea there.
Today young Vosburg is still a
butchers boy at SO a month-and
more. He has an ambition. He Is
Louis Vosburg plus. The plus is am
bition.
He no longer lives in Andes alley.
Somehow the old quarters did not fit
in with his new plans. He is attend
ing night school and saving his mon
ey. Next fall he will enter college.
Young Vosburg has decided to be an
architect.
A SIMPLE SUGGESTION CHANG
ED THE WHOLE TENOR OF THE
BOYS LIFE.
! Everything is different to Louis Vos-
! burg. He has been made to see the
possibilities of life. Things appear to
him in their proper perspective. He
sees that there is a power inside of
| him that is able to overcome his old en-
vironment He sees that determination
| of soul is greater than circumstances
There has been implanted within him
a divine discomfort.
Blessed is that man who put laud
able ambition in the soul of Louis Vos
burg
Blessed are you If you are able Il
make boy see what he can do will
his life-HELP HIM COME TO HIS
! OWN.
OF course much depends upon the
DIVINE YEAST that lies dormant IL
the nature of every boy. There is NOR
to work on in some boys than in 9th
ers.
But
If you want earthly Immortality yo1
can find it by helping some boy to f1nC
himself.
