What a great ?take\ome parents make in assum* that their children must have an Ilperie^e In "sowing wild onts" bebre the* will be prepared to apprecike righteousness uud become Its servnts! This thought Is reflected upon Wt- minds of the young, both male |d^emale; rarely do they seek to live a higher standard tbau that exited of them by their parents or tftrdiaus. We have known saintly mhers to unintentionally lay snares ,c the feet of their children by Inodueing them to ways of the world 1 which they themselves would uot Ilk. Their expressed sentiment was, must not put upon these children I weight of the cross, nor expect of Km salntshlp; if ever they become ply consecrated saints of God they III then know the trials of the 'narrow way' and have plenty of them." Alas! such Christian mothers have failed to grasp the situation properly. They have failed to realize that, at ^the present time, there is no real hapklness in the world except in the "narway." I *ain Simplicity and Honesty In ft . ?

At times, under rod's providence, the message from u High reaches the heart and draws with seemingly little resistance. The >llowuess of life is perceived, the ;ed of wisdom from on High is recogjsed. and perhaps by the servant. nps tL ough parental instruction, .uaps through the counsels of a J^end, perhaps by a tract or a book, Be young heart is shown the way of Bisdom and is pointed to the Lord, ^'e are to remember that the will is the real director of our destiny, under Divine providence, and that it is allimportant to have the will rightly directed and established. Many a one is in the broad road of sin and selfishness?away from Clod today?who has "^hfhis makeup many good qualities en tlrely out of sympathy with his posi |i tion and course in life. But without } the will to guide, to lead, he goes downward. Similarly, there are 9ome on the narrow way who have many g^lcal, mental and moral blemishes tadlHK^edity continually drawing them Howard the broad road, but who are Kept In the narrow way of the Lord. Hot by the self-will of the flesh, but by Khe power of a renewed will. Dow important. then, the proper directing and Hxing of our wills in youth! How Riuch gTeater blessings we mny enjoy Hi the present life, and how much Hiore adequate preparation we may Jhereby have for the future life! ^ King Joslah or toaay s siuay is ?u ^sample of the proper course for every lyoung person to take.
