VOICES OF YOUTH
Conducted by the Editor
CHAT.
We have received the paper of Julia
Lane, of Mississippi, and publish it
this week, completing the first four
arguments in our debate; two on a
side. We will not publish any paper
but hers this time, saving the last two
for next week. I am glad the debate
is proving so interesting and I am not
disappointed at the way my boys and
girls are acquitting themselves. We
must have such tests of our ability
to express ourselves and to present
our views from time to time. It is
beneficial in away that nothing else
is.
I have a letter from Julia Lane, of
Helena, Georgia, in which she makes
a point as to the exact significance of
the term “country” as used in the de
bate. I am publishing it, so that her
contention may be clearly understood
by both the debaters and other mem
bers of the Voices of Youth. She
says that one of the opposing debaters
has not confined his argument within
the proper bounds, in that he in
cludes in the advantages afforded by
the country such as are to be had
only in towns of such size as to
rank almost as cities. We had not an
ticipated that there would be any
clash on this point. Os course “coun
try,” in the sense intended by the
statement of the question, does not
imply a rank wilderness such as is to
be found on the frontiers; nor does
it imply towns which have schools
and libraries almost like large cities.
We all know, for instance, the dif
ference between the school advan
tages to be had in a country school
and those in towns which have a
graded school system, with school li
braries, and all the modern appliances.
We wauld not say that a person had
been educated in the country when
he had studied in the graded public
schools of a town, even if the town
were a small one. But this is only an
illustration, and we feel sure that all
our members will be able to discrimi
nate in the matter.
However, the final determination of
the mooted point will rest with the
judges, and they will, as is proper, not
consider a point made by a debater
when he or she has relied upon an
interpretation which is not warrant
ed. We believe each debater may be
content on that score.
We have a new member this week
just ten years old. I have great hopes
for this department, and every new
comer’s knock is greeted joyfully. My
boys and girls must all write to us and
ieel that this part of the paper be
longs to them. Come on, and you will
find the latchstring hanging out. You
won’t have any trouble to find it. And
figuratively speaking, I am on the
lookout and will greet, you as soon as
you drive up. Yours,
BROTHER WILLIE.

A YOUNG NEW MEMBER.
Dear Brother Willie: I am ten
years old and have been reading The
Golden Age and would like to join
the Voices of Youth. I wonder how
many of the little cousins have studied
the Sunday school questions on the
book of John. I have and hope to
get my certificate soon. I go to Sun
day school regularly, and am going
to the Sunday school convention if
my brother, who has typhoid fever, is
able to have us leave. He is twelve

years of age and I have two sisters,
the younger. Josephine, is five years
of age, and the oldest sister, Myrtie
May, is 18 years old, and I have one
brother dead. I go to school and am
promoted to the fifth grade. My
mamma has been taking The Golden
Age ever since it started and likes it
fine. I like to read the Voices of
Youth very much.
Your little cousin,

THE MEANING OF “COUNTRY.”
My Dear Brother Willie: I thought
that in the debate by the word coun
try was meant the state of being com
pletely debarred from all conveniences
and advantages which small towns af
ford, but in Bartlett Kelly’s argument
he included towns which have many
of the advantages of a city. I under
stood the word country to mean the
free, open land several miles fr. n
even small towns, and I think it is
very unfair to the affirmative to allow
the negative side to include small
towns.
Yours sincerely,
JULIA IVERSON LANE.
Helena, Ga., July 14, 1908.
A NEGATIVE ARGUMENT.
‘ Resolved, That city life has more
advantages for the development of
great men than country life.”
This I am happy to deny, for his
tory, both sacred and profane, teaches
that rural districts, and this includes
little towns, such as a college, post
office, etc., have given to the world
the noblest men. There is a difference
between a great man and a noted one.
A man may be noted, but not truly
great. John Brown has become noted
but not great. Gen. Sherman is noted
but not great. A truly great man
is one whose powers are soundly de
veloped; to wit, mind, body, and
morals. Bob Ingersoll was noted, but
not great.
Abraham Lincoln, R. E. Lee, Stone
wall Jackson, Rockefeller, and a long
line of really great men who have
blessed the world, were once coun
try boys. And take a glance at the
Bible, if you please, where we find
greatness as God records it, and see
Abraham, the friend of God, who lived
among his cattle and flocks, and wor
shipped God under the stars, and when

God commanded him, he performed
one of the sublimest acts oh recotd.
Had he bedn brought up in the city
on soda water and its associates, his
character would have been too weak
• for such a task. Take Moses, Jacob,
Elijah, and Elisha, who was plowing
oxen in the field when God called him
to a holy calling, and King David was
down in the field when he was sent
for to do work for God.
The reasons why a city is not help
ful to the development of great men
are: (x, Because there are more vices
in a city. While sin is the same wher
ever you meet it in the road, there
are more forms of it in a city and
those who have registered high in
political life and date themselves from
some city were really born in the
country and got their good training
in the quiet old country home, where
they watched the busy bees, blooming
flowers, and growing crops. Yes, it
was a place like this tnat gave rise
to such a man as George Washing
ton. (2) It is now almost impossible
to rear a boy in a city and make a
truly great man out of him. He may
go to congress or to the senate, but
that does not argue that he is a great
man as to true manhood. Great men
don’t drink whiskey and great men
don't vote for whiskey men. If this
government had more moral men like
W. J. Bryan, who were willing to
enter politics, we could soon sing:
“The morning light is breaking.”
The city dude was once correct
when he sang:
Beneath the tall tomato tree,
I would swing my glittering hoe;
And I would slay the tomato bug,
As he skipped over the row.
My boots are made of cow-hide,
My pants of corduroy;
If I were young again,
I would be a farmer’s boy.

THE ONE HE LOVED BEST.
“Freddie, whom do you love best?”
“You —But, Mamma dear, there’s
somebody I love better.”
“What, somebody you love better
than Mamma?”
“Yes,” answered Freddie, lingering
over the word, and looking earnestly
at his mother with great blue eyes,
that seemed to ask her not to feel
hurt at his preference for another.
“Why, Freddie,” she asked, “who is
is that you love better than Mamma?”
“Jesus,” was the unexpected reply,
