touch his spiritual life. The life Of
the boy should not develop in a
hurry, but should enfold as blossom
in the spring time. The Y. M. G. A.
gives the boy this advantage.
The boy is a man upside down The
boy at all times presents his rough
side to the world, but down deep iii
his boyish heart there are tender
emotions that the wise person can
touch. The life of the boy is unsui-
lied by the world, and he In conse-
quence is frank with his views Of life.
The man on the other hand presents
himself to the world through the win
dow pane OF experience, and Is a'bse
to conceal somewhat the real things
that are in his heart. TO build the
boy is the purpose of the y. M. G. A.
Give a wise young man the position
of boy secretary, and If he is truly
wise he will draw the boys to him.
God wants men. Men are the older
brothers of the boys, and the boys
look to the men for examples. Men
go to the "Y" and the boys will go;
men stay away from the Y. M. G. A.
and the boys will stay away. Mems
influence is great; your interest is
the boys interest for the boy wants
to act like the men. You can be
stumbling blocks, you can lay pitfalls
or you can give the boy good
example. If men go to the gym the
boys will want to go. If men go to
Bible classes the boys will want to
go. RI men go to the Y. M. G. A. the
boys will want to go, The Y. NJ. g.
A. wants men.
In speaking of the activities of the
Y. NJ. C. A. Mr.. Wilson mentioned
county, college, railroad and also the
army and navy work. He spent some
little time on the missionary phase OF
the work and spoke at length on the
work the association is accomplishing
among the immigrants.
The Bible is the anchor of the
work, said Mr.. Wilson, and it is all
anchor that is suitable for ALL 1t Is
like the ocean; it is deep enough to
sail the largest Of ships and it is shaS
low enough to let the little chilo
wade. The Bible is deep enough to
afford the greatest scholars material
for study and research; 1t Is also so
clear that the little child can under
stand it. Men can swim in its depth;
the little child can wade on its shores
Brotherly love as taught in the
Bible is the food of the Y. M. g. A.
work and the association cannot exist
without it. Brotherly love means ser.
vice and service means giving, giving
of not only money, but the giving ~
time.
In closing, Mr.. Wilson spoke of the
statue which one Of Michael Angc.

was of a soldier and as Angelo came

BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE
II 10 Located Just at the Point Where
the Optic Nerve Gen.
ters

In every eye there is a little spot
that is totally blind. Young eyes. old
eyes, sharp eyes, dull eyes, blue,
brown or black eyes all Of them,
even the most perfect, have, in each
retina, little round spot which is
wholly blind both to brightness and
color. This spot is located just at the
point where the optic nerve centers,
and is approximately one-twelfth of
an inch wide. Several interesting ex-
periments can be made to prove the
presence OF this blind spot. For ex-
ample, cover the right eye with the
hand or bandage and gaze with the
left steadily at point on the wall or
screen about seven feet distant. Let
another person be seated against the
wall on your left-hand side, in such
a position that his forehead is on o
level with the point at which you are
gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from 1t. Do not
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily
as at first, and his face will entirely
disappear. and the wall will seem to
be perfectly blank. II you spread
sheet Of paper on the wall and note
the points Mt which a pencil moved
back and forth by another person APP
pears and disappears, you will be able
to make an accurate map of the blind
spot as projected on the wall. An.
other experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three
vertical columns of three letters each,
upon a sheet OF paper at such q dis
lance and in such position before
the eye that the central letter OF the
square falls within the blind spot,
while the surrounding eight letters
are still visible Christian Herald.
