What Boys Should Know.

By Fred. S. jenkins, Taylorsville.
The true education of boys is to
teach them what they ought to know
when they become men.
First-To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man would
better not know how to read and be true
and genuine in action rather than be
learned in all sciences and in all
languages and be at the same time
false in heart and counterfeit in life.
Second-To be pure in thought,
language and life-pure in mind and
body.
Third-To be unselfish; to care for
the feelings and comforts of others;
to be generous, noble and manly. This
will include a genuine reverence for
the aged and for things sacred.
Fourth-To be self reliant and self
helpful even from childhood; to be
Industrious always and self supporting
at the earliest possible age. Teach
them that all honest work is honor
able, that an idle life of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
Fifth-When a boy has learned these
things, when he has made these ideas
part of him, however poor or how
ever rich, he has learned the most i'm
portant things he ought to know.

friends and neighbors, after which the
young ladies who were there assisted
Mrs. Lindsay, her daughters and sons
in serving the great number to most
delightful refreshments, ice cream,
cake, lemonade, oranges, bananas and
apples. Not until the sun was sinking
in the west did the gleeful party leave.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.
Sunday School Scholars Remember
Their Superintendent.

A delightful birthday surprise party
was given Howard Lockard at his
beautiful home, Oak Hill, on April 80.
1t was a genuine surprise, as not one
member of the family was let into the
secret. Mr.. Lockard has served as
Sunday school superintendent at
Pleasant Grove M. E. Church, Sandy
vile, for eight years, and on entering
on his ninth years work the Sunday
school felt so greatful to him they be-
gan to plan some way to show their
appreciation They knew he was
nearing the 62nd 'sasale stone of his
life and decided first to give him a
shower of birthday cards, hoping he
would receive q card for every year.
The shower was g full and complete
one; he received 95 cards.
But just a shower Of cards was not
enough; it did not stop there. Several
days previous to Mr. Lockard's birth
day one of the Sunday school scholars
was kept very busy plodding her way
around calling on the members and
friends of the church, Sunday school
and Epworth League asking each one
to contribute something toward a
birthday present for Mr.. Lockard.
Quite snug amount was collected and
Oh the evening of his birthday as each
member Of the family was sitting
quietly by the fire, some reading and
others sewing, noise was heard on
the porch. Hastily opening the door
to ascertain the cause of the noise,
they were face to face with a crowd
of cheerful faces. Mr.. Lockard was
greeted by hearty handshakes and
cheerful good evenings. Owing to the
approaching storm quite a number
were not able to be present.
After all recovered from their sur
prise and Mr.. Lockard had carefully
laid his straw hat aside, all were in
vited into the parlor to join in the
singing of hymn, after which Harry
D. Caple led in prayer, then a large
Mckinley rocking chair was pushed
into the center of the room, and Mr..
Lockard was asked to accept it as a
token of appreciation for his faithful
service to the Sunday school, Epworth
League and church. He responded with
a few touching remarks.
After all had seen him seated in his
chair and had assured him he had
room enough in it for his wife also,
all were invited to the kitchen to en-
joy cake and lemonade, which was pro-
vided in abundance by the Sunday
school scholars. At late hour all
returned to their homes wishing Mr..
Lockard many more happy birthdays.
Among those present were Howard
Lockard and wife, Harry D. Caple and
wife, u H Shipley and wife, Edgar
Lockard and wife, Butler Gorsuch and
wife, Herbert Myerly and wife, Wal
