Reading for a Boy.

We wish we could get the boys to
read I'm Tune With the Infinite" Lub-
books pleasures of Life" Drum
monds Natural Law in the Spiritual
World" Wagner's "The Simple Life"
Serviss' Astronomy With an Opera
Glass;" and similar books, all of which
could be read in the time that boy
usually fritters away. 1t needn't take
away a moment of the time devoted to
fun and play, though it might divide
time with the usual branches of study.
We speak of the above books be-
cause they tend to awake ones divine
energies and make ones life nobler
and happier. The greatest part OF a
lad is his spirit. With that, impulses,
aspirations and tendencies are created.
Without it, his life becomes negative
and vague. These books in places may
be little difficult to appreciate, but
a boy can get some flavor from them
that will be a decided benefit to him.
1t is the way to acquire diligence, pur-
pose, insight into the meaning of
things, the love of duty, the grand
heights of self-reliance, traits and
qualities that glorify boy.
The fact is the boys spirit is mis-
used at home and school because 1t is
not fed on the food that strengthens
it. 1t cyphers and parses and refuses
to admit to it's heart, courtesy, cour-
age, work, aspiration, reverence and
other divinities that are knocking to
get in. The reading of these books
will change all that and actually put
boy in tune with the infinite.--Ohio
