DR.. Frank Crane once wrote, and
Miss Tarbell quotes, little essay on
boys that should set fathers to
thinking: What is boy? He is the
person who is going to carry on
what you have started. He is to sit
right where you are sitting and at,
tend when you are gone to those
things you think are so important
You may adopt all the policies you
please, but how they will be carried
on depends on him. Even If you
make leagues and treaties, he will
have to manage them. He is going
to sit at your desk in the Senate and
occupy your place on the Supreme
Bench. He is going to move and take
over your prisons, churches, uni
versities. court houses and corpora
tions. When you get done, all your
work is going. to be judged and
praised or condemned by him.
Your reputation and your fortune
are in his hands. He will assume
control of your cities. Right now
the future President is playing mar
bles. Not your contemporaries and
fellow citizens, but the boys out
there in the school yard. are going
to say whether after all you were a
grand and noble hero or a blather-
skite. All your work is for him
and the fate of the nation and of
humanity is in his hands. So it
might be we'll to pay him some at
tention."
Gods Greatest Plan.
When the Almighty undertook His
greatest work, He sent His only Son
into a working mans home, to share
the common life of the average
people, and to equip Him for His
ministry of world redemption. Thus
Jesus shared the experiences OF all
boys and men. Amidst His lowly lot
and labors, He dreamed dreams that
are beyond our grasp.
His brain teemed with questions,
questions beyond the ordinary re-
ligious engrossments of youth. So
when-a great event in a Jewish
boys life-He was taken to His first
Passover in Jerusalem, His chief in
terest centered in the Temple, and
in the learned rabbis who could give
Him an answer to some of His long,
long thoughts" He was not there
as teacher, but as learner. He
conducted Himself as a boy, who
knew boys place. The record is
clear that He was both hearing
them and asking them questions. ."
So absorbed was Jesus in this great
opportunity, that He failed to join
the Nazereth-b bound caravan, and
was missing for three days before
found in the Temple.
Back to His home town, to be a
boy again, and subject to His par
ents, went Jesus; and eighteen silent
years in Gods school of service are
recorded by the historian in the
simple statement of His mental,
physical. spiritual growth: Jesus
advanced in wisdom and stature.
and in favor with God and man"
Thus He became comrade to every
normal boy.

realize tnaC tne great majority OF
boys are fine and noble and
patriotic and idealistic. Many Of
them suffer from -coddling and
from too much attention to their
growing pains" We have exalted
youth congresses" into absurd pro-
portions Even our beneficently de-
signed child labor laws prolong the
period Of dependent adolescence to
18 years. We treat the boy as a
problem, instead of giving him due
sense of responsibility.
Out present lesson brings us up
with a round turn to a realization
that the home is the essential train
ing school for life. The ideal man
got his preparation in the every
dayness Of a workingman's home.
He was developed by its poverty, its
tasks, its relationships and its simple
religious life. AS the Oldest son in a
large family that had become
fatherlesS, he early took on the bur-
dens of bread-winner and head of
the household.
