father should develop in their sons
in the formative period of their lives.
He spoke of the examples of heroism
and sacrifice made in the World War
but they lack the glamor because
there is always present the idea that
war is abnormal His idea of true
courage is to be found in the life of
Captain Robert Scott, a life of true
beauty which he wished that Ameri
can boys would come to study as
the boys of Great Britain are doing.
Mr.. Finnie told how Scott and his
few companions, after failing in
their attempt to be the first to ar
rive at the South Pole, sat huddled
together in their small tent in the
frigid arctic SHOWS, facing the reali-
cation that their lives were lost. And
as they sat there freezing from the
legs up, they We're singing the songs
Of ST. Andrews their college, and
they laughed at their misfortune.
They had thought of taking their
own lives but they preferred to die
as Christian gentlemen and they
were found, some time later. frozen

Of Scott was a Letter. written as death
was approaching, telling of the last
moments of the luckless explorers.
This, said Mr.. Finnie. was an exam
pie of heroism that any boy might
well follow. A fair share of ill luck
should be expected in the life of
man, he argued, and a mans courage
should be so that when he has been
beaten he will take it as a true man
should. In the lines of a poem he
advised his hearers to Lie down
and bleed for a while, then rise and
fight again."
Jesus, who sacrificed his life for
his fellow men when he was in the
prime of q beautiful life. was pointed
out to the boys as an example Of the
most exalted heroism. He died so
young, Mr.. Finnie said, that the boys
would find it easy to take him into
their own hearts and make him a
part Of their lives.
The Lewiston man brought with
him a supply Of the funniest stories
that the youths had ever heard and
his address was interspersed with the
brightest wit, all given with broad
Scotch brogue.
For the sons, Gordon Grundy, a
student at Colby college. spoke He
lamented the fact that in this gener-
alton boys were too prone to drift
away from the influence of their
fathers. largely because they think
the dads a little antiquated and
themselves a little superior. What
does a Dad mean?" he asked. Mr..
Grundy said that he should be con-
worship, a guiding staff to whom the
boys can go on the matters that lie
nearest to their hearts. The idea that
a father is nothing but a financier to
fill the pocketbooks of their sons was
wrong. he said. and a father should
mean much more to his son.
The great duty Of a son to his dad,
according to Mr.. Grundy. was not
to fail him. to SO live that they come
up to the standard every man wishes
his son to live up to-" In closing he
said to the fathers, The ideals YOU
have had, we are to have; the lives
you have led, we are to lead; and the
faith in God that you have fostered,
we are to keep
W. w. Quinton spoke for the faith
ers. He stated that Waterville was
some town and that everybody should
be delighted to have all the privi-
leges that the city affords. But he
added that no matter where n boy
lives. no matter what conditions he
| il brought up under, it is up to him
to some time face life. Every boy
has within him the power to make or
break himself. Head erect. eyes
straight ahead" was the attitude he
would have them assume when they
have to face the many temptations of
life. He spoke at some length of the
parting of the ways. when a boy sew
ers connections with his home and
strikes out into the world for himself.
Mr.. Quinton urged a trust in God
as the strongest armor that any man
could wear against the many oppor-
tunities that will confront him to
wander from the paths of upright-
ness. He would have his hearers
avoid the road of seliishness. saying
that there were too many selfish peo-
pie in the world and. he said that
the bst way to avoid it was to follow
closely the golden rule, DO unto
others as ye would they do unto
YOU"
