things, but these are among the I'M
reasonable and wicked men from whom
Paul prays to be delivered.
The way to treat such is to thrust
them aside.
Who should be better able to lead
against these and kindred evils than
the minister and if he Is true to his con-
victions and his trust he cannot refuse
to do so. AS an educator of public taste
and good morals and religion he Is bound
to expose current evils however in
cipient they may appear at first, or
however popular they may become.
They may be advocated and support
ed by generous people, yet that does
not make them right or proper, but it
only increases this danger and makes
1t more necessary TO expose these care
fully concealed snares.
With the oesIre to help all and to
worn the thoughtless AID unwarv let
me speak of the snares laid especially
for the Young Let Us begin at the
home. Here Is where the first and
lasting Impressions are made, where
the foundation Of character is laid, and
what these shall be depends upon the
parents.
An atmosphere of cheerfulness has a
salutary influence, but fault finding,
pettishness, rough speech. harsh words.
and coarse expressions are soon follow
ed by evil results. The child looks upon
the parent as infallible and so what
they do is right in their eyes, hence
we often hear them say, My father
does that, or mother allows me to do
this, therefore it is just right with them.
This will enforce the necessity of i'm
parting right thoughts. desires and
motives in the child. for as the twig is
bent the tree is inclined. Bad thoughts
are like bees, where there is one there
are usually many. They go in swarms
and if one gets in it will have large
following.
They may enter so stealthily that we
can scarcely perceive their entrance yet
they flock in from all sides, and as the
locusts of Egypt darkened the atmos-
phere, so these filthy brood of evil
thoughts darken the understanding, fill
reasons ears with their hum, extinguish
the danger signals and then the victims
rapidly lose their sense of purity and
virtue, vile thoughts and suggestions
find ready Judgement in the minds of
youth and when they have established
then farewell innoncency.
Let the mind become familiar with cor
rupt stories and criminal deeds, then
self respect soon disappears. Keep the
young innocent by all means and as long
as you can. Solomon knew what he

they are, good or evil. useful or not, by
their education.
What responsibility rests on par
ents. 1t is theirs to shape the future
of an immortal mind, while the direction
1t shall take depends largely upon the
care and faithfulness of the natural in
structor.
Parents who are as vacillating as a
weather vane, whose principles are not
established on a firm basis but who sac
ritice conviction to expediency, whose
self interest controls instead of right,
whose sense of honor is blunted, can
not expect their children to be any bet
ter than themselves. They need not be
surprised if they do not make moral
heroes.
You cant expect the stream to rise
higher than the fountain and you might
as we'll expect flowers to come to per-
lection in a dark cellar as children to
become moral heroes under such in
huences. Proper education developes
and enlarges our capacity for enjoy
ment.
The vlvacious child. of lively dispo-
sition, nervous temperament and lively
Imagination is more readily drawn aside

SnareS.

Long ago very great man prayed
keep me from the snares which they
have laid for me and the grip of the
workers of iniquity.'
These snares are carefully and secret
ly laid for US, but often they catch the
ones who laid them. The gallows erect
ed by Hannah for the hated Mordicai
was used to stretch his own neck. The
snares lald for US by our enemies often
are the instruments of their own de-
struction.
Our journey through life is ever a
way full of pitfalls and we are in danger
of being taken in them unless we have
an experienced guide But we may
have such one If we so desire. Satan
has diviaed many evils for the destruc-
ton of youth and we can't shut our
eyes nor close. our ears to the many
homes turned into darkness, joy chang
ed to grief, and countless children swept
from parents, into the great mad storm
of vice, and entangled in the meshes Of
the DEVILS snares, lost to home, society
and the church. | would make a plea
for the youth, for if we can save them
we cave the world but if they are pollut-
ed and lost. then farewell to the church
and when it is gone the world is ready
for the final confiagration.
The snares of the day are popular,
they must be so TO succeed. Dema-
gogues monopolize politics and govern
ment, but Indifferent christians delegate
to the syecial care of the ministry. the
poor who he must look after. He must
visit the sick comfort the sorrowing and
help the needy.
But he has an interest in the affairs
