Young Minds Confused
She said, 1T seems that every known
allurment for the despoilation Of fine
young manhood and womanhood is be-
ing employed these days. The way of
life is getting SO confused for young
minds-so many things are being held
out to them in the name of liberty
old standards are being abandoned
old ideals are being thrown into The
discard. What is right?' these young
hearts ask. Which way should we co.
Which road leads to happiness"
who shall answer them but we who
have gone a step ahead in the journey
Of life and who have learned many
things from experience and observa-
ton? We must point the way of life for
them. This can not be done in day,
but is the work Of years from early
childhood to young manhood and Wom-
anhood, and together must we work,
parents and teachers, that we build into
these lives, vision, courage and ideals
that shall stand when lifes temptations
! come"
/ Mrs. Pond closed her able address
with the poem entitled, The Builder, as
follows.
The Builder.
A builder builded temple,
He wrought it with care and skill
Pillars and groins and arches,
All fashioned to work his will
And men said, as they saw its beauty
1T never shall know decay:

Great is they skill, O builder
Thy fame shall endure for aye
A mother builded temple
With infinite loving care,
Planning each arch with patience
Laying each stone with prayer,
None praised her unceasing effort,
None knew her wondrous plan,
For the temple the mother builded
Was unseen blythe eye Of man.
Gone is the buildeFs temple
Crumbled inte( the dust:
Low lies each stately pillar
Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the mother builded
Will last while the ages roll,
For that beautiful unseen temple
Was chiId's immortal soul.
