N. w. HARLLEE'S TWO-MINUTE
TALK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Three Characters Stand Out For In
tegrity Through The Ages A Bea-
con Light For Young And Old. The
Christ, Moses and Saint Paul.
fBy N. W. Harlleel.

Well, boys and girls, we all have
our friends among acquaintances
When l was a lad, read of Jesus,
Moses and Saint Paul. l read in
little book for boys that Jesus and
Moses resemble each other in fea-
lures Then wished to see each
for myself. see a boy that looked like
my Savior. l was interested in both
of these world characters. Jesus in
manger, Moses in boat basket,
made to keep the water out and the
baby in from harm and danger. The
story in the beautiful narration of
Moses and the Christ was one that
/ wish every little boy and girl
could read and learn from its pages
what interested me. When l read
of Jesus in the New Testament,
was delighted with his divine words,
His easy and instructive style, His
direct manner of expressing what He
had to say, and learned of His kind
ness to Mary and Martha and to all
who had the pleasure and good for
tune of being in His presence. He
had the greatest sympathy for all
unfortunate women, for the blind, the
afflicted, and had kind word for
all, and a helping hand for all.
There was no way to keep me from
taking Him for my guide and trust
ing Him as my Savior. commend
Him TO you as guide ana as
standard and model.
| admired Moses for his wisdom as
law giver and as a great states
man, and for his learning. I admired
his great speech made to the child
rem of Isreal before his death, His
beautiful story of creation as mar
rated in the opening chapters of the
Old Testament and the many in
teresting things said in all his writ
ings. 1 was surprised when little
lad as how Moses could find names
for so many different things and the
names to fit each person, animal or
beast. | heard a speaker say some
years ago that the address delivered
by Moses when he was about to la
down the leadership Of Isreal was
the greatest address ever delivered
I in any age.
| Saint Paul was a model missionary,
used to hardship and the severest
test We may admire him for his
learning. and Christian integrity. Any
young man would do well to take
Saint Paul as a guide to politeness
He was always uniformly courteous
under all conditions, in his hired
house, imperiled in the midst of the
sea, or in the court, or in prison
bond, everywhere he was the same
genial and courteous Paul. Circum-
stances did not change his bearing
as an embodiment of politeness az
young man. Now / have nothing
to regret. 1 commend him to you
boys who wish to be manly and
courteous. Much learning did not
make him bad, nor impolite, for he
had the same high respect for the
common people as ne had for the
king.
/ admired him for his integrity
for his manly courage, for his
eveness of temperament, for his up
right life, for doing what he con-
ceived to be his duty. Saint Paul
still lives as an example and is
worthy of emulation. Why is il
that so few men stand out as beacon
lights in the pages of history to be
admired by men of the ages that
| follow?
Paul for manhood and courtesy to
the King and the peasants; Moses
for his learning and as law giver
