You plant crop in partnership
with the hired man or renter, while
the boy of your bosom, the apple
of your eye, the one being in all
the world you want most to see
succeed, is denied the courtesy of
partnership with you in your un-
dertakings The plans are laid
end the work is mapped out with
out his knowledge, and thus he is
made to feel that be counts for but
little with you, while if another
was to tell you as much you would
rise in your wrath and deny it with
more oaths than did Peter on the
nights of the betrayal.
If you have boy and he likes
the association of your company,
make him a partner with you in
all your undertakings, discuss with
him the possibilities that lie be
fore you and make it clear that
your interest is his interest and
that nothing is worth doing unless
it is worth discussing with him
Thus he will develop that spirit. OF
independence which some day he
must acquire and which at some
time he will SO sorely need.
This is not the idle talk Of an idle
fellow, but it is the plain gospel of
right living from one who speaks
with experience and who knows
what it is to have gone along the
youthful pathway hungering and
thirsting for that partnership your
boy deserves and should have
from you if you are natural father
IF carelessness or thoughtlessness
has denied him his birthright let
brighter day dawn for him and

"Make a Partner Of That Boy
Of Yours"


week has on its front page one of
the best sermons to fathers we
have seen in long time under the
heading, snake Partner of That
Bow of Yours" This writer was
raised on a farm, and can say in
all sincerity that the little country
boy out on farm removed from
the associations of other boys, with
few, fany, playfellows, many times
lonely and sorely in need of com
panionship, would appreciate the
partnership of his father, which is
too often overlooked. Thus in his
breast is born longing for part
nership, or fora a spirit of conrade-
ship which is very nearly the same,
which if he had would make the
memory of the old farm much dear
er to his boyish heart.
Years have flown for us, and the
memory of the days back home,
when work was the one thing re-
quired day in and day out, would
be far sweeter if the spirit of fell
lowship and comradeshlp had been
fostered and given when it was so
often withheld-though we desire
to say right here that none ever
had kinder or more considerate
home than the writer. None could
have asked for more freedom or
been the recipient of more favors.
But with all this there was lacking
the one thing needful-that spirit
of partnership thoughtlessly with
held by parent. Father, take it
from us and ponder it we'll ere it
be too late-give that boy of yours
the right hand of fellowship and
make him feel that in you he has
tbe dearest aud best friend on
earth, not simply a guardian and
provider, but let your feeling for
your boy be that of elder brother.
The boy oftentimes needs some
one to go to with his boyish trou-
bles and needs and would appre-
ciate little more Of the spirit of

"How little it takes to turn the
tide of life? For instance:
thoughtless word spoken in haste,
or the forgotten hand. clasp of
departing friend. Those little
things have caused many an ach-
ing heart to break or heal!'
Life is the way it is lived, and
man may live the way he wants to
live whe,n he learns to think what
he wants to think"
