Many Starting In Life Full of Hope
and Bright Prospects Ahead Are
Suddenly 0vertahen and Wreck

To the Editor of The Republican.
/ see scores starting on the way of
life full of hope, with high aspirations
and faith in their powers and determin-
ed to succeed. They are honest in it
the mean to do well and perhaps all
goes well for time, but when they
least expect it they are run down by
enemies, wreckers they are overtaken
by error or they rush headlong into
danger, borne down by some great temp
tation.
They may awake too late to see their
danger, they may cut off steam, put on
brakes and even reverse the engine but
too late. They may jump IN a last eff
fort to save themselves but they re
liable to be injured by the fall and
while bruised or manned themselves
they bring others into trouble with
them. You can't suffer alone, you will
involve others with you.
1t takes moral courage. a strong con-
viction of truth and a firm purpose to
be true to the right, to enable young
people to steer clear of danger and
avoid making a shipwreck of them
selves.
The R. R. wreck may imped travel a
little but its only for few hours, for
the wreck train soon clears away every
vestige of the disaster
The many who are making a wreck of
their manhood and womanhood on the
journey Of life, and blocking up the
way of progress by blasted hopes and
disappointed expectations. do not seem

friend, do not boast of thy strength.
LET not him that putteth on the armor
boast as he that putteth it off. ="
would hasten out from the scene of the
wreck and swing the signal of danger
and when you halt long enough for me
to catch your ear I'd tell you with all
the earnestness of my soul to stop if

tation and the feelings of your friends

running into death traps set for them.
Better stop and see if the way is clear.
A rail readers life is one of great
danger and he is subject to many de-
mands some of them unjust. Better
cut loose from any corporation that de-
mands that you break the laws of God
