VOICES OF YOUTH
Conducted by the Editor
THE MORAL WARFARE.
When freedom on her natal day
Within her war-rocked cradle lay,
An iron race around her stood,
Baptized her infant brow in blood;
And through the storm which round
her swept
Their constant ward and watching
kept.
Then, where •our quiet herds repose,
The roar of baleful battle rose,
And brethren of a common tongue
To mortal strife as tigers sprung;
And every gift on Freedom’s shrine
Was man for beast, and blood for
wine!
Our fathers to their graves have gone:
Their strife is past, their triumph
won;
But sterner trials wait the race
Which rises in their honored place—
A moral warfare with the crime
And folly of an evil time.
So let it be. In God's own might
We gird us for the coming fight,
And, strong in him whose cause is
ours,
In conflict with unholy powers,
We grasp the weapon he has given—
The light, and truth, and love of heav
en.
—JOHN G. WHITTIER.
CHAT.
1 have not received a single letter
for this week from my uoys and girls.
I am afraid you all are getting to be
bashful. You must do better. We
want the very best department of this
kind that is published anywhere. Come
on with your letters. Tell us what
you are doing during your vacation;
write about the places you have vis
ited, the new friends you have met,
the books you have read. Tell us
when you start to school, what you
are planning to do next term, what
prizes you will try for. We must
get closer together and grow better
acquainted until we are just like one
big houseful of brothers and sisters.
The committee appointed to pass up
on our debate, render their award in
favor of tne affirmative side. This is
their decision:
“It is not always safe for judges to
give their reasons for an opinion form
ed about a debate. In the one just
closed in The Golden Age of August
6 on the subject, Resolved, ‘That
city life has more advantages for the
development of great men than
country life,’ six young people have
written six good arguments. Each is
a very creditable production.
“Bartlett Kelly’s article is of special
merit but. tor one blemish. He has
no right to assume that the word
‘country’ includes rural towns and vil
lages. That argument is a ‘begging
of the question.’ It carries to the
country boy the very advantages that
lie admits to exist in the city in larger
degree.
“The argument in the. number of July
30. signed ‘Persistence’ is the best
one, and we therefore award the prize
to ‘Persistence.’ We award the decis
ion to the affirmative.”
Committee.
I believe the debate has been a suc
cess. I have enjoyed it and it ranks
well as a debate. We must have some
thing else similar, very soon. If “Per
sistence” will send me his picture
right away, I will publish it in our de
partment next week. I will announce
his prize next week, also.
The Golden Age for August 13, 1908..
Now, let’s all take more interest in
our Department. I want a lot of let
ters next week.
Yours,
BROTHER WILLIE.

BE ON THE WATCH.
A gentleman stopped suddenly be
fore a sign that told him messenger
boys were to be had inside. He hes
itated, and then went in.
“How many boys have you in just
now?” he asked.
“Six,” was the reply; “it’s dull to
day.”
‘ Then they’re all here,” said the
gentleman, looking around, while the
boys themselves wore all attention,
wondering “what was up.”
“Boys,” said the gentleman, eying
them scrutinizingly, “I suppose you
know there is an exhibition of trained
dogs tonight?”
The faces of the boys showed that
they were perfectly aware of that fact,
and they might even give him some
points in regard to it.
“Well, I am looking for a boy to take
a blind man to see it.”
A titter was the first response; then
followed a variety of expressions, as:
“A blind man!” “You’re foolin'!”
“What could a blind man see?” and,
“You can’t guy us that w r ay.”
“I am not guying, I am in earnest,”
said Mr. Davis, and then, looking at
one of the boys who had said nothing,
he asked: —
“Well, what do you think of it?”
“I think I could do it,” was the re
ply. “Yes, I’m sure I could, sir.”
“How do you propose to make him
see it?”
“Through my eyes, sir. That’s the
only way he could see it.”
“You’re the boy I’m after,” said Mr.
Davis, and he arranged for him to
meet the blind man.
The exhibition was in a large thea
ter, and the blind man and his guide
had a box to themselves, where they
could disturb no one; but Mr. Davis,
from his seat in the audience, knew
that the boy was telling what went on
so that the blind man could under
stand, and others in the audience be
came interested in the messenger boy
and his companion, who, though car
rying on an animated conversation,
seemed absorbed and excited over ev
erything that went on. Indeed, no one
applauded more heartily than the blind
man himself.
The following day Mr. Davis again
appeared among the messenger boys,
and, after a. few words with the man
ager, said:
“Boys, there was a chance offered
every one yesterday—a chance for
lifting yourselves up in the world —
but only one of you grasped it. My
friend, the blind man, has felt for some
time that he might get much more
pleasure out of life if he could find
some young eyes to do some seeing for
him, with an owner who could report
intelligently. My stopping here yes
terday was with the thought that pos
sibly such a pair of eyes could be
found here. It was an opportunity
held out to every one of you, but only
one understood and grasped it. For
the rest of you it was a lost opportu
nity; for my friend is delighted with
the experiment—says he is sure I hit
upon the one boy in town who will
suit him, and has offered him a good
position with a fine salary. Messen
ger boys are easy to get, but a boy
who can make a blind man see is.at
a premium. And yet
you see, that boy, although he did not
know it, was on the watch for a good
opportunity; and when it came, he
knew how to manage it.” —Anne W.
Whitney, in Sabbath Recorder.

THE WAVE AND THE TIDE.
“Poor foolish waves,” murmured one
of the group on the sands. “They start
so splendidly, away out there beyond
the breaker-line, and come dashing in
shore at a great rate. To see them,
one would think they were going to do
great things when they reached the
shore. And then they curl and break,
and come sneaking in over the sands
meekly and harmlessly, and back again
in a trickle of roiled water.”
Another took up the whimsical
thought and carried it on. “The tide
manages things better,” he said.
“It does not make so much foam and
dash and fluster about it, but creeps up,
inch by inch, foot by foot, slowly,
steadily, resistlessly, pushing further
and further up the sands. In an hour
from now this spot will be covered
with water. See, it is coming nearer
our feet with every incoming wave.
It sets out to rise to a certain height
—-and does it.”
There was a silent moment, then the
thoughtful one spoke aloud the appli
cation that was more or less vaguely
defined in the minds of all. “It is
like two kinds of people. Some make
more show than impression—do more
blustering than actual result-getting.
—and after using up a great deal of
energy without accomplishing any very
great ends, fall back far more meekly
than they advanced. Others are like
the rising tide; slower, perhaps quiet
er, calmer in their effort, yet they do
the larger task —they reach high
water mark. —Young People.
