THE YOUNG MAN
AND YOUNG WOMAN
THEIR DEMEANOR IN OUT-DOOR
LIFE.
How It May be Improved—Advant
ages of Common Sense Out-Door
Association—Chaperones.
In the Spring a young man’s fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of out door
sports. So does that of the young
woman. In fact, it is extremely prob
able that they have not waited until
now to bestow consideration upon
such matters, but have been planning
for them while still the snow r was
blowing and the streams frozen.
Now, as the roads get in good or
der and the mud dries from the fields,
the golf clubs are brought out, the
wheels are overhauled and put in
condition and all sorts of plans are
laid for Saturday half-holidays and
vacation times.
With the return to the possibility
of this sort of thing arises the annual
question as to how much liberty is to
be allowed our young men and our
young women in their association
with one another. Are they to go
about together unchaperoned, as
they have done from time immemo
rial in the country and small towns,
or are the rules of smart society in
the big cities to be complied with?
There are advocates of both sides of
the matter and each has its pros and
cons.

There is a somewhat exaggerated
idea of the conventions that exist in
this respect even in large cities and
among fashionable folk. V fierce
light beats upon the thron« and those
who are almost as well known as roy
alty and have their actions chronicled
in all the papers have to abstain from
many simple joys they doubtless cov
et. Those who follow hard after them
in their struggle for social eminence,
but who have not yet attained to it,
often imagine themselves to be of so
much importance that they must con
form to certain rigid requirements.
Thus, for instance, I heard not long
ago one of these seekers for society-
column fame who severely criticised
a mother for permitting her eighteen-
year old daughter to go to the opera,
unaccompanied except by her thirty-
year old brother. “The mother should
have gone along, or else sent some
elderly woman friend,” pronounced
the censor. “There is no knowing to
what remarks the young people laid
themselves open by going unchape
roned.”
To which a sensible woman replied,
“The persons who recognized them
would understand the situation and
it would not be worth while to worry
about the judgment of those who did
not know them.”
We may afford to lay aside the con
sideration of such standards as these
and study rather what rule should be
followed in the small town or the
country neighborhood among young
men and women who are in good so
cial standing there. How shall they
deal with the problem of the chaper
one? Shall they ignore It altogther
or conform to it In certain instances
and neglect it In others? And how
is the discrimination to be made?
Here is one of the matters where
it is almost impossible to make a pos
itive statement. The personal equa
tion counts for a large amount. In
every circle there are to be found
young women who could be protected
by no amount of chaperonage and
others who would be secure In the
midst of any and all temptations.
But putting aside either of these ex
tremes—although I like to think that
the latter is not the extreme, but just
what one might look for from any
nice, well brought up American girl
—let us try to frame a few general
plans.
In the first place , then, before
granting permission to your daughter
to accept invitations to out door
Junketings from young men, be
pretty sure of your young man. He
should not be picked up at random,
so to speak. It is bad enough if the
man who calls on a girl In her home
Is the chance acquaintance, with no
endorsement except from those who
know only his name, but it is much
worse if he is to be a girl’s compan
ion on a row or a ride or even on the
golf links—although the last is prob
ably the least undesirable locality in
which to be left alone with a compar
ative stranger. Putting aside all
other questions, there is always the
possibility of accidents of one sort
or another on out door excursions
and the girl who accepts a young
man’s Invitation for one of these
should be sure that he Is a man on
whom she would be willing to depend
in case of such an accident.
Also, she should know the man
well enough—or her mother or father
should know him well enough—to be
sure that his character Is such as to
make him a desirable companion. He
may not be of necessity a bad sort
aud yet his bringing up, his associ
ates, may have been such that a
girl’s parents may feel it is decidedly
inadvisable that their daughter
should stamp herself in public with
him as a friend and companion. Bu£
if he is known to be a clean, honour
able, well bred young fellow and if
the girl is the right sort of self re
specting young woman there is no
reason why the two may not have
certain outings together without lay
ing themselves open to criticism. Of
course, all these outings must be
chosen with judgment.
Suppose a girl and a man have
been infected with the returning
fondness for bicych riding. The new
wheels are enough to win even old
boys and old girls to a desire to learn
what wheeling really means. Is there
any reason why the young couple
should not go out for a short spin or
for a long run? None in the world.
If they choose to take a compact
lunch with them and eat it by the
roadside and rest there afterwards
and read or chat, they may do it
without fear of censure,—'provided,
always provided,—that they are the
sort of young man and woman I
have described. I do not think it is
the wise thing to permit this liberty
too freely among heedless, feather
brained boys or girls. There may be
no real harm in it. But the animal
spirits of youth do strange things
sometimes aud many a girl or boy
has been carried away to an exhi
bition of romping, a display of hoy-
denishness that has laid up store of
uncomfortable feeling for later days,
when a better appreciation has been
gained of true dignity and self re
spect.
Take them for all in all, our boys
and girls are pretty thoroughly to be
relied upon and the worst there is to
fear from them, as a rule, is a lapse
into silliness. But even this it is well
to spare them. And so, I say, be sure
of your boy and girl before turning
them loose unchaperoned. If they
have been trained as they should have
been they will be guilty of no mis
take,—but both should have had prac
tically the same sort of training be
fore they are granted full liberty.
The rule that applies to cycling
applies to boating, to fishing, to walk
ing, to riding, to driving. If signs go
for anything, however, there will
probably be more wheeling during
the coming season than any other of
the sports I have named. The bicy
cle is not what it was once,—a ma
chine that had to be cleaned and oil
ed the moment it was brought in
from an outing. The new chainless
does away with this nuisance. The
coaster brake, the possibilities of a
two speed gear give charms to the
wheel that it never possessed before.
It is a season when it is necessary to
decide what rules we shall lay down
for our young people when they go
bicycling. Once upon a time it
might have seemed needless but we
are entering upon a different order of
things.
Even the best bred boys and girls
will occasionally give way to the
animal spirits aforesaid and make
fools of themselves. That is, they
will have a tendency to do this. And
for that reason it is a good thing for
their parents to send them out equip
ped with a sufficient store of good
advice. Often it is mere thoughtless
ness that makes young people ride
along country roads yelling like
Comauches and disturbing the peace
of quiet folk. Sometimes they seem
to lay aside their manners when they
put on their cycling togs. On this
account it is often more desirable to
have a chaperone when there is a
large party than when there are only
a few on the expedition. A racket of
any sort is contagious and where two
or three people would not think of
waking the echoes with their shrieks
of innocent glee, a dozen or so would
be pretty sure to raise a rumpus.
LIFE WITH A PURPOSE.
There are other conditions in which
a chaperone is advisable. One is
when the excursion is to Be extended
and a return made late in the day.
If the party means to stop for a
night anywhere, a chaperone is indis-
pensible. It may be a Jolly young
married woman or a girl of the older
set who is the sister of one of the
younger members of the band. In
any case she will lend dignity to the
company. Even if a meal is to be
taken at a hotel or Inn It Is well to
have an older person along.
Once It would have been hard to
find a woman of even comparatively
mature years who could be called up
on to chaperone a wheeling party.
Bqt we have changed all that. The
improvements In modern science are
bringing things to such a pass that
soon there will be no old people.
They will all of them be always
young. Keeping In step with this ad
vance is modern invetnion, making
exercise not only easy, but a delight.
The visions that the old men saw
and the dreams that the young men
dreamed In Bible times will be
matched by the realities that will
be achieved by the young, middle
aged and even elderly women who
have the physical training that keeps
them In order supplemented by the
means that render out door excurs
ions a joy.
Remarkable Example That Was Fur
nished by Daniel.
One of the great and admirable
characters mentioned in the Bible is
that of Daniel. If we would trace
his greatness to its true source we
would find that it was due to the fact
that Daniel had a fixed and righteous
purpose in life.
And so, dear reader, it must be
with you If you accomplish anything
in life. Without a fixed righteous j
purpose your life will be a failure.,
True greatness comes not from an-'
cestry, but through the faithful exe-1
cution of a noble purpose. If you |
ever attain unto true greatness it will
not because your parents were great,
but because you yourself were faith
ful to your righteous purpose.
You will find that the men who
have accomplished great things in
the world were men who had some
thing definite before them. Take the
persons who have developed the use
of steam power, or those who have
made electricity the useful servant
of man, or those who have accom
plished great things in letters or art,
and you will find that they were per
sons who worked toward a definite
end. And when we turn to the relig
ious side of life, we find the same
thing true there.
Paul, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Wesley,
Spurgeon and Moody were men who
accomplished great things in the
church of Christ, and they accom
plished great things because they
had as their guiding star the glory
of God and the advancement of the
Master’s kingdom. They were men
with a purpose in life.
But a man can form a purpose,
live up to that purpose, and still
waste his energies. The men of Ba
bel had a definite purpose, “Go to,”
say they, “let us build us a city and
a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make a name,”
etc. This was certainly definite
enough, but their efforts ended in dis
mal failure. Saul of Tarsus had some
thing definite before him. His one
purpose was to destroy the church of
Christ. To this end he put forth all
his powers, and yet while he was do
ing so he was himself rushing madly
toward destruction. So we must not
only have a deflntie purpose, but we
must see to it that that purpose is a
righteous one.
There are many, however, who
seem to have no purpose at all in
life. They don’t know where they
are going or what they are going to
do. Such persons are worth little to
themselves, and lets to others. They
are simply adrift in the world.
Drifting in this way is dangerous. It
means, if persisted in, a wasted life,
and in the last essence, a lost soul.
And when the soul is lost, all is lost
that is worth having. You go to the
Atlantic ocean, and standing on shore
you see a magnificent ship lying on
the bosom of the ocean a few miles
from laud. It is perfect in all its
parts. It lies there at a cost of many
thousands of dollars. But there is
no steam in the engine, and no an
chor to retain it at its station. For
days it drifts with the tide. First in
one direction and then in the other.
But at length a driving storm strikes
the waters, the ship is driven nearer
and nearer to land, it is hurled
against the breakers and the grand
structure goes down. And, just so,
dear reader, it is with many magnifi
cent specimens of humanity. God
has fitted them for the work that he
would have them to do, and they are
on the voyage of life. But there is no
love for God in their heart as a mo
tive power, there is no faith in Christ
as an anchor to the soul, and there is
no fixed righteous purpose to pilot
them on the voyage. They are drift
ing here and there. But by and by
the storm breaks upon them, they
are driven upon the breakers of
eternity, and their souls are lost.
Avoid, I beseech you, the folly of
forming a wrong purpose, and the
folly of having no purpose at all, for
both alike end in destruction.
But purpose in your heart: 1.
That you are going to spend your life
in the service of God, and then stand
by that purpose at all cost. 2. That
you will be a real factor in the
church and in the world. This is
the purpose for which God has cre
ated you, and you ought to try to fill
nobly your place in life. It is true
that all cannot become great from
the world’s point of view, but all can
become great to the full measure of
their abilities; and this is all God re
quires of any one. We may be small
in powers, but God has taught us that
we must not despise the day of small
things. Small factors are impor
tant in summing up great results.
3. That the world shall be better for
your having lived among men. There
are some whose influence is so small
that you can scarcely tell that they
exert any influence. There are others
whose influence has made the world
worse than it would have been with
out them. God expects you to exert
an influence for good, and this you
should endeavor to do. 4. That
you will not defile yourself with
strong drink, with unchastity, with
profanity, with dishonesty—with any
sin; for all sins are defiling. Form
these wholesome purposes, ask God
to help you to live by them, and they
will do you good.
Some time ago I was talking to a
gentleman just along this line, and he
gave me a bit of his own experience.
It was this: He said, “I was, when a
boy, preparing to go off to school, and
before leaving my mother made this
request of me: ‘Son, promise me be
fore you leave home that you will
not touch strong drink during your
absence.’ I promised,” he said,
I purposed in my heart to keep '4Ht
promise.” That man is much
now, but he has never defiled himself
with strong drink, aud he gave it as
his firm conviction that that promise
saved him. “For often,” he said,
“when the glass was passed around
I was tempted to indulge, but when
I thought of my promise to mother
I turned away.” Young man, make
these promises to yourself, to your
mother, to your God, and purpose in*
your heart that you will keep them.
It will do you good, it will do your
companions good.

Dare to st^nd alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm;
Dare to make it known.”
