home makes the difference between
a successful life and a failure for
bend the twig in the way it should
grow for a tree cannot thus be bent. "
Parents. are we furnishing the
best homes for our children that lie
within our power to produce?
Or are we careless withour habits.
are we doing things that we do not
want our children to do?
Are we living the kind Of lives
that would make us proud to have
our children copy?
Are we training our children to
be obedient. Industrious, self-rellant,
and thorough in the things they do?
(b)-GOod books. There are many
books on the market that instead OF
furnishing good food for thought.
implant within the minds OF youth
the seeds of crime, vice. and i'm
morality.
Be careful of the books read.
(c)-GoOd schools. The youth Of
today are fortunate in that the
schools are in such a state of pro-
gress and are trying so hard to fur
nish the needs of young people.
The choice of a school Is not to
be considered lightly for how often
do we hear "OuF son or our daugh-
ter used to attend church regularly
but since they have attended college
they do not take any interest in
church and 1t is difficult to get them
to go to church"
(d)-GoOd( Teachers. II Is to be
hoped all teachers possess those
qualities Of character, Of industry, OF
religious views, and of ambition
that any student would do we'll to
emulate the example set by his or
her teacher.
(e)-GOOd Associates. We are jud-
ged by the company we keep. We
are Influenced morally and physical
ly by the kind of people with whom
we associate.
AS individuals we influence or are
Influenced by those with whom we
associate depending upon the
strength of will power Of individuals.
naturally the individual with the
stronger will power predominates.
We find there are two kinds OF
people in the world. the leaders and
the followers.
The leaders are the few individ-
uals who furnish new ideas, new in
yentiOns, blaze new trials, who sue
ceed in doing the things that the
doubling Thomases say cannot be
done.
They have courage to say no when
necessary, they have will power to
resist doing those things they know
TO be wrong.
They have the courage, the deter
mination to fight for the things they
believe to be right and the things
they want.
The followers are great in num-
ber who follow the leader. The fol-
lowers are susceptible to sugges-
tion, are influenced by example.
Such being the case It is imDor-
tant that our associates be clean
be clean physically, and be
clean spiritually.
Physical Qualities Of the
Ladder OF Life
We cannot help having inherited
certain conditions or "having the
iniquities Of our forefathers visited
upon us" but frequently much can
be done to improve an impaired
body by using the necessary meth |
DDS TO produce the desired results.
Are we as parents providing our
with proper supervision. the
proper care, the proper diet that
makes for a healthy body; or are we
Just allowing them TO grow?
Even our vegetables have to be
protected from weeds and insects.
Now are we as young people pro-
riding ourselves with healthy bodies
~ adapting those rules, forming
hose clean habits, eating proper
God, taking proper exercise that
will insure sound bodies?
Or are dissipating our strength,
our health, destroying
'ur body by not getting proper
leep, by using tobacco. by drinking
.lcohollcs. and by indulging In I'M
morality?
I do not mean TO convey the inn
Iression that he who does not have
sound body cannot climb high up
be ladder Of life. because frequent
y we see individuals thus handi-
apped rise I'M the world as leaders,
s pioneers to blaze new trials for
Tiers of their kind, as Helen Keller
