Oh, he's just a boy! a common ex-
preston, is 1t not? l wonder just what
is passing through our minds as we use
this phrase. Do we mean that because
he is a boy that his state Of usefulness
mas not yet come to be, that he must
wait till he has outgrown the boylood
period before he is to fill his true place
in life? I am afraid such is often true
on the part of many parents and elders.
But the boy has world of his own, and.
as mucn as any man, mas a duty as
boy And by the boy let us think Of
that period forming the first nineteen
years of his life.
We frequently hear quoted "The boy
of today is the man Of tomorrow" But
is this true i'm its fullest sense? Let us
ask ourselves the question and we Will
answer in the negative. No; many boys

means Of leading their fellows into that
truest manhood and are proud that no
one ever told them that they were Just
boys" and before they were able to
serve humanity they must wait until they
have ceased to be boys. If this be our
motto. we, as parents and friends, must
take into consideration that the boy is
not dimnutive adult but that we can
train him to live a complete boy We
must study his spontaneous interests.
We must recognize that mis- play life and
religious life are associated that normal
play life is essential to normal religious
life We must prepare ourselves for
competent and sympa thetic leadership,

candidates are nominated and endorsed
with the understanding that they support
the platform with the exception of this
subject.
The resolution says, I'VE congra tulate

has justified its enactment and retention.
The state of Vermont has more important

One of the most active old men in
Maine is Simon Smith of East Dixheld
who is SO. He has never used tobacco or
alcohol in any form and has never been

proudest of is that he never was dunned

The Lake of Blood" the Roth-See,
near Lucerne has assumed its sanguin-
airy color this season, after many years,
owing to the presence of a seaweed which
is rarely found in the Alps The peas
ants will not visit the lake, and have
ordered their children not to look at 1t,
as they believe misfortune is sure to fol-
low. Whenever this lake becomes red
the peasants believe that wars are sure
to come and therefore it is predicted
that before the end of this year a war
will break out somewhere in the world.
