WANDERING BOY.

4 "Oh where is my wandering boy to-
night?" has been sung thousands of
times with wonderful tenderness and
pathos, but how many of the singers,
or hearers, ever gave heed to the per-
tinent inquiry of the song? Statistics
are frequently published showing the
great majority of our boys spending
their nights away from the better in
huences of home. AS they grow into
youth and early manhood they seem
to grow into the world and worldly
ways. IL the singers plaintive ques-
ton coulc be answered publicly in
any ordinary meeting where the song
is sung. it would cause tremendous
sensation, and many heart would
bow down in sorrow and pain. For
some reason 1t is just as we'll that
the nightly haunts of the boys" are
not specifically mentioned in local
public meetings, and yet the matter.
Is one of common report. The boys
are too often out of home out of the
church and Sunday school. out of
organizations of moral character, and
into the world for all it is worth"

TALkINe THINGS OVER.

An exchange very truthfully says
that many people aside from Emerson
have noted that moGerns seem to have
lost the art of conversation.
Many people talk. but few converse
intelligently. Many say words and
words, but little else. Many spend
lots of time talking, but little gray
matter. And many use their lips but
leave out their minds and hearts
In every home there is some place
where the family members should
gather at least occasionally and-.ust
talk things over,
A wonderful living room-a cheer.
Ing CRATE fire-sofa- soft, comfortable
chairs-a foot-rsst or two-a few
good books nice pictures hang
ing on the walls-a few letters lying
on the reading deak--a reading lamp
and still some people would let these
things remain in a home without be-
ing used while they drift off down
town or to the club seven nights
week
There is no attempt at sermonIzing
in this editorial-but people will find
out sooner or later that when they
fail to consider home 10 i.~ real
place to live in they lose O.. on one
OF LIES big things .5.
So, why not sit down occasionally
at home, with the family. and Just
talk things over,
1t will develop the art of conversa-
ton; make the children think that
home is after AL better place for
good time than the neighbor's house;
providean opportunity for an exchange
OF opinion: and it will be honest to-
goodness pleasureL
Winter is here--and winter is the
season for reading and for talking
things over.
Why not make the most of II?

occasion.

There's only one serious objection to the
plan. We need the coal it would take to make
