FIRST FRUITS OF AMERICA’S MIGHTIEST
CONVENTION.
(Continued from Page 1)
Almighty God in the sacred cause and call
of this heaven-born hour!”
And as Bishop Anderson prayed, heaven
bent down and kissed all hearts into the
beauty of humility and the glory of concpier
ing resolve.
In the radiant aftermath of this, the might
iest gathering of moral forces ever seen on
American soil, came, not in Memorial Hall,
not in the First Congregational church, the
convention of workers called by the “Coun
cil of One Hundred.” It was a “get together”
gathering with Ninety-Seven humanitarian or
ganizations, including the Anti-Saloon League,
the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union,
with college presidents, governors, congress
men, senators of every political party plan
ning the nation-wide campaign under the
“Declaration of Independence” passed the
day before.
With the gigantic president, Ira Landreth,
of Ward-Belmont fame steering the ship amid

IS YOUR BOY SAFE?
THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF DEC. 18, 1913
Isles of Pleasure and rocks of danger, to the
Gibraltar of united plans in a common pur
pose.
Then “On to Washington!”
But all these “Mounts of Transfigurations,”
all these visions and dreams were little worth
without their eventuation in the “Commit
tee of One Thousand” swelling to two thou
sand, which came from every state in the
union to “storm Washington” on the 10th
day of December in this good year of our
Lord 1913.
Little Boy Led Parade.
Illustrating the type of boyhood which must
feed the American saloon if it continues, the
parade of two thousand which marched from
the Hotel Raleigh up Pennsylvania avenue to
the East Portico of the capitol, Master John
Good, Jr., of Springfield, Ohio, led the White
Ribbon Army. Son of a famous grower of
roses, this bright boy himself was the beau
tiful picture of a rosebud of humanity, de
serving, God knows, a better fate than the
blight that so often comes from the legalized
is the rule rather than the exception
where they leave home ignorant of
pitfalls that await them on every side.
Don’t think your boy will be safe sim
ply because you have charged him too
be good. Thousands have done the
same but their boys were not fully
warned of the dangers awaiting them
and they went down.
I come to you with “The Secrets of
Success for Boys and Young Men,”
a book crowded full of informatoin,
telling boys of the many pitfalls which
will crowd their pathway and warning
them to shun them as they would a
pest house. This book tells them all
these facts in a nice clean way and
more than this tells them how to con
duct themselves that they may gain the
greatest possible success in life.
How many have said to me, “If I
had only known in time; but no one
ever told me or placed a book in my
hands that I might read for myself—
now I must suffer all my life because
of the neglect of my parents.”
This book tells in a pure but plain
way how to avoid the dangers from ig
norance of sex hygiene, eugenics, pri
vate diseases, intemperance, not con
serving his energy, impure thoughts,
breaking the laws of nature, etc. It
shows them why they should not leave
home without fully considering the
wishes of their parents. It also gives
timely advice about starting right and
keeping right and gives business max
ims which if followed will make him
successful in life.
Mr. J. C. Pontius, President of the
Christian Home Orphanage, at Council
Bluffs, lowa, says of it, “It would be
far better for the boys to have this
book placed in their hands than to give
them its weight in gold; yes, a thousand
times better for them.” I know this
is true and you who are parents can’t
afford to neglect this opportunity to
place in the hands of your boys this
most important information when it
can be done at so small a cost.
Many are not only having The Sec
rets of Success sent to their own boys
but as soon as they read it they have
them sent to all the boys they are in
terested in or that associate with their
own so that they may create a pure
moral atmosphere for their owm son
to live in. lam sure that in no other
way can a parent do so much for his
boy for so little expense.
Don’t forget your boy is human.
Help him now while you have the op
portunity. When he leaves you it
