Our Bright Little Boys.

We certainly are blessed with an un- usual number of bright little boys in this community. Little tots just starting on life's journey. They stand upon the threshold of life with foot uplifted and hand outstretched, ready to begin the journey, and happy in anticipation of the beautiful and wonderful things they expect to see. To them all Is bright and promising, no thought of evil crosses their minds; their imagination clothes everything with rainbow hues. They little think that every rose has its thorn, every pleasure its corresponding grief. They are eager to be off. The path is narrow and on either side are yawning precipices which threaten to engulf them at every step; numerous and enticing by-paths seek to lure them from the mar row way that leads to safety and honor. Here it is that the counsels of Christian mothers take root in their hearts, and their saint-like faces will go before them on their journey. guiding stars whose gleam cannot be extinguished no mat ter how hard the storms of temptation may beat upon them.
