though but babe. you had found
test to apply TO all questions that
pexplexed you. IF IT Is RIGHT
ITS RIGHT. AND / DON'T CARE
WHAT OTHERS SAY"
That Is the principle we need to
develop in the youth. In olden
times. the youth was giver ques-
tons whereby ne might daily ex-
anime himself. and thus develop
conscience and a high standard of
morality. We have been rushing
slons at such a mad pace that we
do not even have time any more for
family prayers; or a blessing at the
table. 49,.
We need greater reverence for
spiritual things developed In our
nation. Not a Sunday religion, but
the living kind that goes with us
TO our business and recognizes the
Master as the. Living Big Brother,
ever ready and willing to help.
In this way self-control il devel-
oped and the nobler kind of dis
cipline. that causes a man to be-
come master Of himself instead of
bowling down to cheap idols.
This is the need of our children.
In .olden times. children were forced
to- obey. Now they do as they
please. This is a wrong course to
follow. OF course. once in awhile,
they are bribed or coaxed to listen.
but to do right for rights sake Is
the ideal toward which We must
trend.
Training. rather than forcing. Is
the watchword.
DR.. Becht says:
THE child comes into life with
potential capital. That. capital Is
expressed in terms of motor activity
on its physical side and in terms of
curiosity and will on its mental side.
What means this running, jumping.
pounding, teasing of the child.
Why, when II is told to sit still for
just a moment. does 1t wriggle and
twist and squirm?
Does II make these responses IN
opposition to the expressed will OF
the parent or teacher? No. a thou

II reacts in this way. because II
cannot help II.

The voyager upon the inland sea of

land. Some come out suddenly from

Somewhat so Is It with the Chris

mortal existence. girt by the great shore
Of eternity. Continually before him

and these the mightiest experiences Of
the soul. though beginning in slight and

their final grandeur. As the bark nears
the horizon line of life though they are
still invisible, their presence Is intimated
by the songs Of unseen, but familiar
voices, the calling Of the angels and
the whispers Of the Spirit So slight
we say-rather, so spiritual. SO celestial
