esting aud helpful address. She spoke
of Daniel as young man, who took a

man who always had the courage of his
convictions, and who therefore became
not only a great prophet but the great
est statesman of the land into which he
was taken as a captive.
Parents should, by example as well as
by precept, train their children as
Daniel must have been trained. Young
men, if they would make success of
life, must keep their record clean. Bust

record of those who wish TO enter their
employ. Among the questions asked
are, "Does he use alcoholic liquors r
and, "ls he user of cigaretts p
Young ladies should insist that their
gentlemen escorts be men of clean life
These and other important truths
were emphasized by convincing illustra-
tions.
