teen in private school in the city
in which [ live ran away from
home and went to sea. His
parents are people of influence and
wealth, and they would gladly give
him every educational advantage;
but he is determined not to re-
main in school. He is losing
much. His earning capacity will
be lessened by bis limited educa-
ton. and the life of sailor is
certainly not calculated to add to
his strength of character.
The boy who never goes near a
church or a Sunday school is a de-
cided loser. No boy, no man. no
human being can allow his or her
spiritual nature to lie dormant and
be all that that person should be
and could be. One needs spiritual
sustenance quite as much as one
needs sustenance for the body If
one is to have an all round develop
ment. l do not know of greater
loss than that of all desire for the
spiritual things of life. Only to-
day l read of Judge sentencing
hoy to attend Church and Sunday
school every Sunday. If be does
not do it, ne is to be sent to a
refurmatory. This boy mey bene-
fit by this sentence, but be would
benefit far more if he went to
Church and Sunday of his own ac-
cord. No boy canleave real relig.
ion out of his life and fail to lose a
great deal, A real religions instinct
never yet deprived any one of real
Joy, while the lack of this instinct
has added to the SORROWS of many.
A boy with no sense of religious
duty is one of the greatest losers
in the world.-J. l.. Harbour, in
The Visitor.

The following conversation was
heard in home near here recently:
Father, what do editors live on P"
"Why do you ask that son?" "Be-
cause I heard you say that you had
taken our home paper nearly three
years and had never paid cent
for it," "Mary Jane, spank that
child"

7 alks With Boys.

Every boy who does the things
he should not do is a losers loser
in character and in many things
that count for happiness and sue
cess in life. No one loses so much
as be does by his own acts, but he
often causes his parents and friends
to lose some of the happiness they
would find in him if he were not
the kind of boy whose perversity
causes him to do the things be
should not do.
If we begin with the boy who
has acquired the cigarette habit,
we discover be is losing his physi
cal strength. Any doctor will tell
you that boy cannot smoke cigar
cites constantly and be normal in
his health He may not be- the
victim of actual disease of any
kind-although this often results
from Observation-Disclosures his
system is sure to feel the evil effects
of the bad habit. I once saw in a
city hospital boy of sixteen years
who was physical wreck, and l
was told that it was the result Of
cigarette-smoking. He had lost
his health to such degree that
there was little prospect of ever re
covering it. Moreover, he had
lost respect of those who knew
how foolish he had been. No one
can have much confidence in the
cigarette-smoking boy. The fact
that he INDUCES in anything 80
ruinous to him is proof that be is q
weak sort of boy. A boy cannot
make a greater mistake than to
think that it gives him an appear
ance of manliness to be seen smok
ing cigars or cigarettes. [ was
once walking on the street with
friend when boy of not more
than dozen years came toward
us. He had deadly pallor, lack
luster eyes, and was thin to emacia
tion. When be drew near to as he
said:
"Eithef Of you got matchY"
"What do you want q match forw
