ment war; us against these guides.
There are false guides in conduct.
% how often do they address them
selves to youth and say, This is not
the way the path that leads through
the Sunday Sshool, the church and
other paths along which the spring
flowers of pure, modest pleasure grow
o, this is not the way for the manly,
the brave and the free. come with
us, they say, and we will show you
the way. They point TO the paths
which run through the d~ow-down
d%ance-hall. the vulgar vaudeville, the
gambling hell. the saloon. and other
dens of Vanity Fair where are the
poisonous flowers of pride, passion,
dissipation and death. Sometimes
these false guides are women about
whose personalities there is much TO
attract and f%acinate. Sometimes they
are men who smile at the old-fash-
toned ideas of honesty and sheer AT
hood, the glory of motherhood, the
sincerity of craftsmanship, the tri-
umph of righteousness. Beware OF
such guides.
80 the burden of my plea is to
give yourselves over to Gods guild
ance. In all your ways acknowledge
Him and He shall direct your paths,
You are now at the commencement
of your careers. Some of you will go
on to institutions of higher learning.
Others will take up life's varied du-
ties in the larger university of the
worlds work. The path will not al
ways be easy or the sea smooth.
There will be all sorts of calling
voices and reckoning hands. | trust
that your instincts may be so fine
and your intellectual and moral life
so full that YOU Will not be mislead
