SONG.
What is the song of the waves as
they beat
Dully against the shore?
They sound like the tramp of many
feet,
As they splash and rush and roar.
What is the wild, restless song,
Os the dark ocean’s swell?
The song is clear to nature’s ear,
But the mind of man can not tell.
What is the song of the winds, as they
sigh
With a sorrowful melody?
They wail and whisper up so high,
In the topmost limbs of the tree.
What does the sighing and moaning
mean,
Os the breeze 1 hear die and swell?
The song is clear to nature’s ear,
But the mind of man can not tell.
What is the song of the waves and
the breeze,
And what are the words of the song?
Is it joy and hope and love and peace,
Or sin and sorrow and wrong?
What it is we shall never know,
And perhaps it is as well,
Though the song is clear to nature’s
.ear,
The mind of man can not tell.

CHAT.
This week we have the last paper
of our debate. It is by Chas. With
row, a. new member, who began with
a poem last week. I hope he will con
tinue to write for us and am sure he
will find it beneficial to learn how
to express his thoughts in writing.
There is no reason why the members
of the department should not write
twice a month, at least. It is an
education in itself, the learning how to
say what one thinks. I want my young
friends to get all the good they can
out of this opportunity and I will wel
come you heartily each time you come.
The committee will pass upon the
debate and I hope t.o have the de
cision as to the winning side and the
best paper to announce next week.
I am, on the whole, well pleased with
the papers that have been sent in.
This is but the beginning. We should
be able to improve with, practice. It
is said practice makes proficient in
everything.
I have a contribution from Mr. C.
H. Wetherbe in this week's Voices
of Youth. It was not written for the
department especially, but it im
presses a lesson which should be pro
ductive of good to the young, and I
therefore put it in this part of the
paper. I thank him for writing it.
We have a new member from the
Crescent City this week, and she
sends a poem along with her letter. I
am glad to welcome her. She must
come again.

THE LAST PAPER FOR THE NEGA
TIVE.
“Resolved, That city life has more
advantages for the development of
great men than rural life.” This
I do gladly deny, and I am going to
try to show the affirmative side differ
ently. As has been said, God made
the country, but man made the city.
You take a young man in the coun- ’
try, he gets more of nature’s causes
to make a strong mind and body than
the city man gets, and we all know
The Golden Age for August 6, 1908.
that a person can study his les
sons at school better when his mind
is not all in a rush. In the city there
are so many things to distract a boy’s
mind from his lessons. One of the
surest foundations on which to build
greatness is the possession of a sound
mind in a strong body. The healthful
out-door life of the country, the work
on the farm produces these.
The conditions which surround the
country boy are such as to give the
health of body and strength of char
acter which are the best beginning of
greatness. There are advantages in
the city, such as schools and libraries,
but the surroundings and the every
day distractions take the mind from
books and study. The temptations of
the city are greater than the coun
try.
Many young men who grow up and
get their start in the country go to
the city to make their fortune, think
ing that everything is to be found in
the busy life and bustle of the city,
but the strain is so great, everybody
hurrying, every man trying to get
ahead of his fellow man, he gets hard
hearted and selfish, he falls into fast
company, he becomes under bondage
to the many temptations and finally
his ambitions change; he forsakes the
simple honesty he was taught in his
country home and soon he is not striv
ing to be great so much as to make
money. He wants a horse and buggy
or an automobile, he wants fine clothes
and he tries to run with a fast crowd.
When he gets to this place he
ceases to try to be a really good and
great man. He wants other thangs
and he never does become great. If
he had stuck to his country teaching
and his country ways he might have
become a great man and done much
good. I want you to think about
some of these things I have been
telling you. Look them up and see if
it is not the truth. The country alone,
without its schools, will do more good
for a boy than the city with all of its
grand colleges.
“And I know you will agree,”
If you will only look and see:
That the farmer is the man,
That feeds them all.

A CRICKET’S MINISTRY.
I was alone in my house one even
ing. and while I was reading I heard
the voice of a cricket in the room. As
it merrily chirped its notes a reflective
mood came upon me. I paused and
mused, and, as a result, several sug
gestive lessons appeared to me. One
was, the cricket seemed to be very
cheerful. That was a special minis
try to me just then, for I was cheer
less. I had been doing literary work
that day and the reaction following
it made me low-hearted and somewhat
disconsolate. But that cricket’s chirp
ing music revived my spirits. Why
should I continue cheerless while that
cricket was so cheerful? I brightened
up under the charm of those notes.
Another lesson was, that cricket made
sweet music in the hour of darkness.
Too many of us think that we can
not sing when the hour of mental
darkness is upon us. If others can
sing songs in the night, we can not,
at least we do not, generally feel like
doing so. But if a lonely little cricket
will sing its fullest notes in rhe dark
est night, why should not we also
sing them? It is the time to let the
spirit of music control us, rather than
the spirit of gloom and mute silence,
It may require a greater effort to be
musical then than it does when all
around us is bright with the glory of
day, but it administers health to the
soul.
A third lesson is, that cricket did
the best that it was capable of doing,
I judge so, because it seemed to exert
its fullest powers. How shrilly it did
utter its notes of music! And what
a contrast between its efforts and
exercises and our own, oftentimes,
there is. Even in those of us who are
generally busy with work there is
often an inclination to not do our
best. We scamp too much, or only
half do a good deal of our work,
whereas we should always to the best
we can. A fourth lesson is, that
cricket did not know how much good
it was doing. It did not know that it
was ministering to me a blessing. It
could not know that it cheered me by
! ts simple notes and gave me valuable
suggestions. And we, too, do not
know how much good we are doing
to others by voice or pen; but in the
heavenly world we may be surprised
by the revealed results.

A NEW MEMBER.
Dear Brother Willie: Here comes
a new member from the Crescent City.
I am a girl of 14 years and have
long been a reader of The Golden Age,
especially of this department, and
have enjoyed myself so much. It is
certainly odd that two of the best
writers in the Voices of Youth have
the same name. Julia Lane, of Mc
comb City, I enjoyed your last letter
so much. I was in McComb all last
week and expect to go back very
soon.
I think Brother Willie's Chats are
both interesting and instructive, and
very encouraging. I write any amount
of poems (if they may be called such)
and enclose one of the many, though
not expecting to see it in print. How
ever, there ; s nothing like trying.
Well, as this is ray first, letter, I will
close, with best wishes to all,

“EXCUSE ME.”
Dear Brother Willie: I want to give
our !>and of boys and girls some
thoughts on a very familiar phrase,
with the hope that it may be of some
benefit,.
The prhase “excuse me” is noble,
both in deed and word, when used as
an apology to some one who has been
put to an inconvenience of any kind
by another’s thoughtlessness.
Yet, there is another use of the
phrase that is not noble and covers
a kind of cowardice that needs very
much to be overcome.
Is there anything familiar in this
picture?
A church in a good community, a
good pastor, a B. Y. B. U. or Epworth
League doing good work, as bnst they
can; yet marred and hindered in this
work by the “excuse rue’s” that do
not and will not work. Many strang
ers visit your church and then there
are those that come occasionally, rhe
kind that move when they feel like it;
hence there is little real rawing ac
complished.
And now, dear friends, in your
work among young people, have you
ever found any of that type, who,
when asked to perforin any kind of
duty always meet you with an “Ex
cuse me, I can't. 1 don't like to do
those things. I had rather not, do
that”?
Pastor says to Miss “Yonder
is a crowd of young people who are
