quences?
How very limited our power to
do good and capacity for purest
pleasures if we are uneducated.
Places of honor and large reward
call for men and women of good
training and character.
Boys, girls, do you not do things
sometimes that you would not have
your dear parents to know for the
world, for you know it would crush
their hearts with grief? How much
more will it grieve the Sacred
Heart that gave His life blood that
you might be snatched from eter-
nal death? Oh, turn from your
sins and say, l will help Jesus to
bear the cross by keeping my own
life free from sin and shame. Do
you know the grandest thing you
can do is to surrender stainless
life to God before you are old
enough to realize the awfulness of
sin. Do not turn away from op-
portunities that daily confront
you, for do you know that to slight
our opportunities, to neglect our
duties, to refuse to obey our par
ents that we are blackening our
lives with sin?
Very often we see people living
life of sin. Some may say, God
designed them to live that kind Of
life, but my dear friends, l do not
believe that is true. Can we look
into the lovely face of an innocent
babe and then believe that if it is
brought mp in the way of the right
eous, that in spite of all it will
finally be lost? No, no, that is i'm
possible to believe, and if one can
be saved that way, why not all?
Someone may say some mothers
are not as true as they should be.
All! there's the fault, and that is
BECAUSE so many girls marry while
they are young, thoughtless, and
unconcerned. Girls, for the sake
of the future generation, be sure
that you are capable of taking up
on yourselves the noble RESPONSE
bilities that all true women assume
when they take the VOWS at the al
tar. Can you not see the worth of
this request? Say, dear girls, are

we going to let this beautiful world
90 to ruin because we are too weak
to do our duty? May we rise up
in all of our purity and sweep sin
from off the face of this world and
turn our mind to better, higher
and nobler thoughts than worldly
pleasures.
We often hear girls say they
would not keep company with the
young man addicted to strong
drink. We concur in this-they
can not afford to. But how do we
know how much good word from
some of us might do that same
young man, even while he was I'M
der the influence of liquor. Per-
haps you could say just one word
that would cause him to realize
bis condition and it's effect upon
both mind and body.
Boys-we appeal to you--will
you not let whisky alone and strive
to make the world brighter and
better by being better yourselves?
Will you not call forth all the true
manhood in you and say, I'll be a
man hencefortb, and stick to it?
Some may jeer and chlde you, but
even they must respect you when
you assert your manhood.
There is better side of man,
and noble heart beats in every
breast which can be made as white
as snow, but listen, girls; let me
whisper a word to you. When we
girls (and in this l include ally
learn the full worth and value of
being pure of mind and true to God
and ourselves and be all that the
blessed Father intended woman to
be, we shall then be capable of
rescuing the opposite sex, but how
can we attempt to lead them when
we are blind ourselves?
A large part of the human family
is calling for help, and God is call
ing for service. Educated and con-
secrated men and women is the cry
ing need of the hour. A helpful,
happy life on earth and endless
glory in Heaven are the compen-
sations offered our young friends.
I wish for all of you the largest
possible good in life.

A WORD TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

Dear boys and girls, are we not
IN this world to be somebody and
to accomplish some good? That
IS what we are here for. We all
have to begin at the bottom and
work our way upward. Small po-
sitions are usually crowded, but
there is always room at the top.
Go up. Do what you do we'll, then
learn to do better, then the best.
The wise, good and great God Will
always help you to do right.
While you are young and mex
perienced talk with your parents,
your pastor, with the wisest and
best men and women you know,
and especially with your Heavenly
Father about what you shall do in
life. 1t may be that you are with
out means to 60 to school. There
is an old saying "where there is a
will, there is way" No one can
hope to succeed in life who has not
the will. You will overcome diff
culties, or they will overcome you.
If God gave You common sense
and you have ordinary health, do
not ask for more; you can do the
rest. "Work out your own saliva
tion." Buy and master one good
book, then another and then others.
Work and go to school. Repeat
the process until you are ready for
the duties Of life.
You will have only one period in
which to prepare for life; make
the best possible use of that one.
The greatest work God ever gave
to mankind is that of making a
truly capable man or woman; THIS
important task He has assigned to
you. What kind of work are you
doing? How much of the task
have you already accomplished ?
In a little while it will be practi-
cally finished. Are you what you
should be? What are your expec-
tations for this life; what your re-
sources? Do you not need strong
mind and pure heart much more
than you need money? Have you

to do that regardless of the conse-

If the reader has had "bad back -
or any kidney i'll and is looking for re
lief and cure, better depend on the oni;'
remedy endorsed by people you know.
Doan s Kidney Pills relieve quickly
cure permanently. Glenwood Springs
citizens testify to this. Here is case
of it:
Mrs. Hilda Thompson, Eighth street
and Cooper avenue. Glenwooi Springs.
Colo, says "Doan's Kidney Pills did
me world of good and I feel as though
l could not praise them too highly. For
years ] suffered from pains in my back
and even when I lay down the trouble
was in evidence. A frequent desire to
pass the kidney secretions annoyed me
and felt poorly in every way. l used
five boxes of well known kidney RENE
dy, but not the slightest benefit re-
suited. Reading about Doan's Kidney
Pills, I obtained box at W. 8. Parki-
son s drug store and l was so greatly
helped by their use that I continued
taking them until I was completely
cured My back has not bothered me-
since then and I have felt one percelt
better. In view of my experience, I
feel justified in saying that there is no
medicine equal to Doan's Kidney Pills

W
rael, the twelve tribes. and their re
gathering will be the first blessing to
humanity under Messiahs glorious
reign.
st. Paul brings this matter to our
attention very explicitly in his letter
to the Romans. 01:25-32) The logic
Of his argument should be carefully
noted, including the fact that Natural
Israel will receive mercy at the hands
of Spiritual lsrael-in the Kingdom.
The naticn of Israel transgressed
Divine commands, and was therefore
worthy of punishment-bu this did
not signify that the nation would be
come alienated from the Divine mercy
which God had already intended and
promised through Abraham.
Neither Israel, I'm the days of Ho-
shea nor ut any other time, nor any
other nation, knew anything about
the life and immortality which God
purpOsed to proffer to mankind
through the Redeemer In due time.
As the Apostle again says, This great
salvation began to be spoken by our
Lord and was confirmed unto us by
them that heard Him."-Heb. 9:8.
