the Lord loveth He chastencth," says the
Good Book. 1t is. therefore the evidence
of the truest affection when punishment is
administered for the purpose of correcting
a fault or teaching a necessary lesson.
There may be life-lasting kindness in
seeming unkindness TO the boy,
No more contemptuous epithet can be
applied to a man than that made famous
by former President Roosevelt, "rnollycod-
die" The small boy has an equivalent term
in sissy"
Man or boy would scarcely feel less In
suited il accused of a minor crime than if
termed "mollycoddlc" or Sissy"
This is but the natural resentment at
being considered weak soft, inefficient, uu-
fitted to do boys or mans part, and not
measuring up to the full standard of both
boyhood and manhood.
No mother wishes to subject her son to
the contempt OF his fellows Every mother
who coddlcs her boy, shields him too close

But always remember that the time must
come as inevitably as death itself, when he
must fight his own battles. must solve his
own problems, must make his own place i'll
the world, and that the sooner he begins to
exercise his God dgiven powers the stronger
they will grow, the better will he be able
to hold his place in the world, and the
stronger, manler man he will become to his

when the boy comes home with black eye
or bruised body there is no occasion for
tears or extra coddling on the part OF the
mother. however fond she may be. 1t is
merely an incident in boy life.
The boy must come into contact sooner
or later, with the bigger bullcs OF the world,
mental and physical, who will not spare him
or hesitate to give him black eyes or un-
limited bruises. 1t is WELL therefore, that
he should learn this truth while his mother
is yet with him
The boy, TO be successful, must have
