The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-08

counsel of David had been backed up
and reinforced by the life he lived If
you will study his life you will find out
what he meant when he said, II want
you to be man, my boy"
Tells of Difference.
If Tom Edison should say to his son.
BE an inventor" the boy would know
what he meant
If some red-nosed, shamble-ga
foul-breathed, caricaturist on human1-
ty should say to his boy BE man,
the kid would be all in Go that way
yourself in the world
David's counsel would have been like
water on a ducks back if he hadn't
lived it. That is why many a boy has
turned out bad. His fathers talk and
walk don't agree. His spark and gas
oline don't work together, that's the
reason he never gets to the top of the
hill. If you want to train boy in the
way he should go, you've got to go the
way yourself. The devil gets many a
boy by getting his daddy or nanny
first.
David's advice was no better than
his eXample-good ! think the great
est thing that can happen TO a boy is
to come under the influence of a real
man. Every boy tries to be like some
man in whom he believes Every
man is some boys hero. No matter
whether it be our honorable guest no
matter whether it be Jesse James, ev-
cry man is some boys hero and if
every man and every woman lived
right today, no boy or girl would go
wrong tomorrow
And, every man and woman ought to
be moral sign-post along the high
way of life. Therefore be a man! Be
a woman for the sake of the boy and
the girl that is following you. Give the
boys and give the girls of America a
chance, by being a man, by being a
woman yourself and living the way
God wants you to live, be strong.
Difference in
Making Living.
We reach wrong conclusions be
cause our vision is warped. There is
a big difference between making a
living and making living life The
prostitute is making living, but great
God, she is assassinating her life.
The highway robber is making liv-
ing. but he isn't making a life. There
is a big difference between the two in
the world.
A whiskey barrel is more dangerous
than gun barrel and you'd better
wear corns on your feet, on your
march to glory than to tramp with
dirty feet on the heart of the virtue of
someone else. You'd better be head,
that merits crown as reward, than
one that needs a moral fine-tooth
comb in the universe. I'd rather be a
sign-post than a tombstone any day.
I'd rather help somebody to Jesus
Christ in the world. So don't be a NOR
al tramp, fleeing from Gods bath
house.
Come on, let's all line up for Jesus
| Christ and put the devil ont of bust
ness. Go into the halls of capital yoU
| will find many of them feeling theil
way among the marble pillars of a
| sumptuous, life, blind to the rights OF
| labor. blind to the sermon on the
| Mount, blind to the Golden Rule Oh!
| Go into the fields of labor you will
| find many of them today, blind to the
! gospel of mutual interest, blind to the
| fact that when you smite capital yoJ
cut your own throat, blind to the fact
| that the costs of strikes and lockouts
| have got to come out of your pocket
| blind to the fact that the only real
| good is the good of everybody, no
| class on Gods dirt.
Be Strong
! Throughout Life.
! Be a man! The Democratic party
hasn't right to run the government
! for Democrats nor the Republicans fol
! the Republicans This country belongs
| to everybody. 1t belongs to all of us
1t don't belong to any party nor any

we don't want them. I'll be darned i
l wouldn't send them to Mexico or
! some place.
Be strong! Be strong! Every droI
of blood in my body beats to the tune
of the Star Spangled Banner" Wher
! David comes before you, take off you,
hat The weather changes. When
| David walks into your presence. the
I birds come back, build their nests
sing. Grass turns green. leaves burs
out, flowers bloom and the 1and
wave knee deep in succulent grass, al
nature claps her hands.
! Other people-when they come il
to your presence, the thermomete
falls 60 below zero. They just freez,
you. They give you the once over
| good night nurse!
Look at David. Why, when a liol
came there and seized the latest LAM
out of his flock. David didn't get coli
feet and beat it down the hill Why
that lion did not have the slightes
suspicion that he was committing SUI
eide when he did it, but David blaze
away with stone out of mis- sling an,
the first thing the lion knew his ski
was on the floor of David's bungalow
The next day bear came aroun
and the first thing he knew he got
in the neck and his hide was on III
floor.
David could have easily killed oil
Saul half dozen times and take
the throne. He was open and abov
board. Saul acted like a simpering XII
that ought to be licked and sent t
ped. The great men and women of tn
Bible were made of the same clay tina
we are, subject to the same passion!
subject to the same temptations bu
they didn't allow their lower nature
TO get the control of them They mad
