The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-11-27

Ny Dear Boy:
l did not have the opportunity l
had hoped to talk with you last eve
ning-and, therefore, take this OPP
portunity, when we are sending you
your mittens and the envelopes
which you forgot, to give you few
last words of affectionate counsel
from home. One of your first duties
as q soldier will be to take all the
care you can of your health. The
frmer that is, the better you will be
able to do any service, or undergo
any fatigue, required of you. To
preserve your health, you must try
to lead as regular and temperate o
life as is possible. hope you will
not try to avoid your full share of
labor, danger, or exposure, where
either is necessary or called for.
Take every proper occasion for
bathing your whole body-and scru-
pulously regard your personal clean
mess, no matter how much trouble
it may give you. Have nothing to
do with spirituous liquors of any
kind. Take your food as regularly
as you can get it, and neither eat
immoderately nor go a long time
without food, if you can avoid it.
Especially be careful not to eat to
excess after long fasting.
l hope you will never disgrace
yourself by any profaneness or OBJ
scenity, and will avoid all converse
ton and companions where they are
practiced or allowed. Try to pre-
serve a cheerful and contented spir-
it and encourage it in others. Bear
hardships without grumbling and al
ways try to do more, rather than
less, than your duty. You will have
occasion to be patient much oftener
than to be brave.
The duty of a soldier is rmques-
tioning obedience-but, beyond this,
] hope you will cultivate a kind, re-
spectful, and considerable temper
toward your officers. l hope you
are going with love for your coun-
try and your cause, and with a de-
termination to be faithful to every
duty you have undertaken. Ny boy,
you bear the name of one who, to
the end of his honored life, never
shrunk from a duty, however pain
full, nor from a danger to which duty
called him. Be sure that you do no
discredit to it! Neither by coward
ice, by falsehood, by impurity, by
levity, nor by selfshness. Remem-
Der always your home and your
friends-those who will welcome
your return with pride and joy if
you shall come back in virtue ana
honor; who will cherish your mem
DRY if, faithful and true, you have
given up your life; but to whom
your disgrace would cause a pang
sharper than death. Remember your
obligations to duty and to God. And
may these thoughts keep you from
temptation and encourage and
strengthen you in danger or sick
ness. And now, my dear boy, i
commend you to God-and to the
power of Ills grace. May God bless
and keep you. Think of your
Heavenly Father in health and in
sickness, in joy and in sorrow. Go
to Him for strength and guidance
You are very dear to our hearts
and your absence leaves a great
place vacant in our home. If it be
accorded to His will, may you come
back to us in safety and honor-but
whatever is before us, may His
mercy and love be ever with you
and His grace be sufficient for you.
With deep affection,
Your father,
+. r. H0AR.
