nor Is it necessary always that there
shall be preceptor. At times, under
Gods providence, the message from
on High reaches the heart and draws
it with seemingly little resistance. The
hollowness of life is perceived, the
need Of wisdom from on High Is recog-
nized, and perhaps by the servant,
perhaps through the counsels of a
friend, perhaps by tract or book,
the young heart is shown the way Of
wisdom and is pointed to the Lord.
We are to remember that the will is
the real director of our destiny, under
Divine providence, and that it is all
important to have the will rightly di-
rected and established. Many q one
is in the broad road of sin and selfish
ness-away from God today-who has
In his makeup many good qualities en-
tirely out Of sympathy with his posi-
ton and course In life. But without
the will to guide, to lead. he goes
downward. Similarly, there are some
on the narrow way who have many
physical, mental and moral blemishes
of heredity continually drawing them
toward the broad road, but who are
kept in the narrow way Of the Lord,
not by the self-will of the flesh, but by
the power of renewed will. How i'm
portant, then. the proper directing and
fixing of our wills in youth! How
much gf1ater blessings we may enjoy
In the present life. and how much
more adequate preparation we may
thereby have for the future life!
King Josiah Of today's study is an
example of the proper course for every
young person to take. First of all. the
heart should be given to the Lord in
the days of youth. before the evil days
and evil experiences have come; be-
fore one shall have learned so much Of
evil that the remainder of life would
not suffice to eradicate 1t.

Mistake to Assume That Wild Oats
Must First Be Sown
What a force there is in our text,
Remember now thy Creator In the
days of thy youth" What great
mistake some parents make In assum-
ing that their children must have an
experience in Sowing wild oats" be-
fore they will be prepared to appreci-
ate righteousness and become its serv-
ants! This thought is reflected upon
the minds Of the young, both male
and female; rarely do they seek to live
by a higher standard than that ex-
pected of them by their parents or
guardians. We have known sanity
mothers to Internationally lay snares
for the feet Of their children by In
Producing them to ways Of the world
in which they themselves would not
walk. Their expressed sentiment was,
81 must not put upon these children
the weight of the cross, nor expect OF
them saintship; If ever they become
truly consecrated saints of God they
will then know the trials Of the MIR
row way and have plenty of them"
Alas! such Christian mothers have
failed to grasp the situation properly.
They have failed to realize that, at
the present time. there is no real hap
niness in the world EXCEPT In the "nar-
row way"
A Certain Simplicity and Honesty In
tho Mind of Every Child
OF the few who do find the narrow
way after having walked in the broad
road their plant is, ooh, why did l
not earlier find the way Of the Lord,
the way Of Truth, joy, peace and hap
piness!'
Notwithstanding the depravfty with
which all are born, there appears to
be certain simplicity and honesty In

IN THE WORLD OF
SPORT
Packy Mcfarland, Who Claims
Lightweight Title.

Now that Ad Wolgast has refused
to meet him Packy Mcfarland Is
claiming the tile. Packy said re-
Gently that he considered himself the
only real, simon pure champion light
weight boxer of the world and de-
clared that any desiring to contest his
claim may apply in person at their
peril.
The only reason that his champion
ship claim is not recognized, says Nc
Farland, is little matter Of couple
of pounds In weight. His statement
goes into details on this proposition
of weight.
1.-THE weight question:" he says,
"seems to be the bone Of contention
with champions who wish to sidestep
a challenge. The lightweight limit In
this country is 1873 pounds. Under my
agreement with Moran I made 1875
pounds without difficulty, and am
now confident that / can fight at the
1873 pound limit. What is more, am
w1llins to do So I never have been
beaten, and think this record counts
for something In support Of my claim
that l am the legitimate champion"

ARE YOU SICK
Pep-Senna Produces Remarkable
Results for Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Sufferers

1t you are run down, do not fail to
make a request to the Woodwork Labo-
ratory, 1161 Broadway, New York, for a
sample of Pep-Senna, the great kidney,
liver and bladder remedy, which is cur
ing thousands. The we'll known SAYING
that delays are dangerous" applies more
fully to the kidney, liver and bladder
diseases than to anything else. Diseases
of the kidney, liver and bladder will
stand no trifing, because there is no dis
ease so deceptive, and nothing more
fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who have
died during the past year. Have you
ever stopped to think how many Of them
could have been made we'll and happy
just by the use of Pep-Senna, this great
health restorer? If you feel down
hearted and discouraged, send for sam
pie today.

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

As Christian Bible students-The Sat-
isfaetory Proof of "Why God Per-
mits Evil"
One Of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today is,
"Why does God permit evilT' AS we
look about us in the world we observe
that 1t is filled with sorrow and trouble,
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that He Is almighty and
that He could prevent it If He wished
We read in His Word that He is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
know how much that means; yet Of
tentimes, it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question Is made very
clear in a book entitled, ''The Divine
Plan of the Ages" Every statement
is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS ALLOWED SIN AND DEATH
TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIX
THOUSAND YEARS. This and many
other subjects Of deep interest to all
of Gods people are discussed fully and
in language easy Of comprehension.
