There Is possibility n; leader

IN each and every boy. y ne out soss
IN touch with God and lives according
70 His dictates. SO many or our young
men are drifting wiki the current ana
becoming a detrimert instead OF an
uplIft 10 his fellow men. II takes itfe
and dissemination 20 90 against the
current. Know yourself Is one funda-
n.ntal OF rIght living. Everyone. 10
become a leader. must pay the price.
but in the end the benefits far exceed
those OF the dritter.
The challenge to genuine MANHOOD
Is urgent today as II never was nerore'
and we should mold our lives :" that
when the time comes when We must
show that manhood We will not ee

nhvsically. You can't be an intellectual
leader In your school. unless.y"u sep"
rate yourself from A dozen things that
IRE de,eIoratinc and demoralislnE
Sacrifice. and a great deal Of IT, is
needed OF the boy who makes the de-
termination 70 be leader. Coo or
true men are not asking the boy to give
UP anything that would advance ms
progress in life. but they only ask MN
10 refrain from the vices that maAes II
possible 10 become what God has
planned you TO be.
The tyre Q, leadership cannot be
found In A boy Uho s"akS hinSeIr up
. With cigarettes. Now. 7 don't say that
because boy smokes he Will 80
straight 10 hell. but I do say that
boy who smokes is' undermining his
Intellectual and physical powers. and
has lttla or no chance OF becoming a
real leader. BE brave enough n look
Into the fats and recognize them "a
they are and have courage enough 10
stand by Your convictions.
Sympathy and Service
sSympathy Is smother asset u leader
snip. Suffer anything FOR the other
fellow. It takes a real fellow to put
himself In the other fellows place ana
pymrathlze with him.
Service. also counts for great deal
IN the price ~ leadership. Put forth
your best energies 10 60 out and help
another fellow get grip on himself
and So clearly his failtnEs. But use
met in your. persuade 10 not incur
his wrath BY trying to show him his
faults outright. tor ne may be rather
tender about learning things regarding
himself A plan 81 procedure Viii pre-
sent itsels 70 You 50 that YOU may do
ther boy an untold service.
The day YOU we're born the moral
ard spiritual center OF the world
changed. TIE day you entered school
n
you. The world Is Tremendously Inter
eased in ~ha. YOU are. A man Is mea-
eared in the minds OF the people by
