made over. Our morals are formed by
this time so lets be careful Inc do not
stick any longer to any of our had
habits, for it is hard to break off and
run in a new channel after we get
older.
Now this is one thing 1 am trying TO
do myself and hope that 1 shall sue
ceed by the help of God. We see so
many of our dear young boys smoking
cigarettes when they know it is the.
wrong thing to do for it is only a filthy
habit. So while you are young and
Gear to your precious old mother obey
them and stop that nasty habit before
you ruin your sweet lives.
Someday We can see u mistakes,
then we say if we had our lives to live
over we would be altogether different.
but none of us can live but once. Our
parents r older than we are and can
tell us what they have experienced and
will do all they "a to show US right
from wrong, but we don't stop to
think what they are to us until it is
to late.
Did you ever stop to think how dear
your precious old father and mother
are to you? They are the best friends
on earth to us, but still We don't be-
lieve that.
E. The lives of our boys depends entire
ly upon the girls. If all the girls were
pure, good, true Christians and were
confidential with the boys they would
not be so bad. The girls have all the
power on their side. l have always
said and I feel sure that the majority
of the girls will agree with me that we
can rule the community and make it
Gods country if we only would. The
right kind of a girl can have good in
fuence over the young men and will
cause them to see their mistakes if
they would use their influence in the
way. If all the girls will join in
with me and will do our best to make
our community better We will have a
better place to live in in the future than |
We have had in the past.
Girls for goodness sake don't never
never, never think about marrying a
drunkard. Most all the girls that were
up as l did are married now
and I feel like l have experienced a
great many things they did not. l NAV
always have to live an old maid, but I
had much rather be an old maid than
to be a drunkard's wife or to be sepa-
rated like a good many couples 1 know
Of. I want every body that knows me
to Judge me by the life / am going to
try to live by help of God and not by
my past life. I have done a great
many things in my life I have regret
doing but these things will never
happen again because I am old enough
10 have sense Of my own and what I
have experienced 1 know to be true.
The 9th verse of the first chapter
IF James says that pure religion and
indebted before God and the Father
S this to visit the fatherless and wild
)Ws in their af1lctiOn, and to keep our
selves unspited from the world. We
visit the atfherless and do some
hing for them and make them glad of
)ur visit. To keep ourselves unspitted
rom the world we must be pure and
in our every day lives and do
nothing to be ashamed Of.
proverbs S1st chapter, 10th. 18th
18th verses says. who can find a
'irtuous woman? for her price is far
Dove rubies. The heart of her hus-
'and doth safely trust in her, so hat

Will do him good and not evil all the

Girls we must conduct ourselves in
way that no one will have any room
o even believe that we are none otheS

Let us all try to keep these rules:
Keep good company Or none. never be

cry few promises. Live up to your
Engagements, Ike - your own secrets Il
'ou have any. when you speak to a
'erson look him in the face.
GOOD company and good CONVERSE
are the sinews of virtue. Good
;haracter Is above all things we have.
Jur character cannot be essentially in
ured except by our own acts. If any
me speaks evil of us let our lives be
UGH that no one will believe them.
Drink no kind of Intoxicating LIQUORS.
when we retire to bed let us think
low we have spent the day. Never
peak evil of anyone. Keep yourself
innocent if you would be happy.
Now girls let us pay very close at
ent1on to the young men we associate
With. Let him be a man OF Clean Nor

'efnement. A man with low ideals i'll
ife cannot have good influence on the
ives of any one, and is sure to lower
he good morals that they associate
With. We girls ought to keep sacred
he virtue that God has given us. for
it is lost We have fallen from
he high rank that we begin with.
