O;*E OF “US BOYS.”
A rosebud at first bp rely peeped
through its curtain of green upon
the world it hoped soon to bless
with its beauty and fragrance, and
day by day it grew to be more
charmed with the world about it,
less timid, and slowly pushed its
curtains more and more apart,un
til its youthful face 1 smiled forth
upon the passers by and cheered
many a weary one on his way to
work or play; and its youth was
promising ol a time when its full
blown beauty and maturity would
ripen its charm.
But an enemy lurked in the bush
and fina ly attacked the rose-bud.
marring all its beautiful features
and ire.: d\ ..sUroying it till riy.
Only an ugly worm, loved of no
one, had invaded, violated and de
vour e, a beauty and purity
loved ofall.
Other rosebuds, however, there
were, which escaped this sad fate,
ai d served well their cheering
aim o orous mission.
So, little barefoot boy, The
Weekly s youngest subscriber,
you furnish us with a text for a
sermon to ourselves— not to our
readers, for we have not the pre
sumption to believe ourselves cap
able of preaching to them.
And, if we shall sometime speak
to you, little fellow,-you may know
its just boy talk and we boys un
derstand each other, even if the
“grown-ups” cannot comprehen 1.
But what, you may inquire, has
this to do with rose-bud? vVI
simply this: The boy stir l,
and is fast opening in ■,<>'e !>
Don’t you see him s*
the fair flow rtlk

And maybe the

The Week - - its
sometimes in our dreams, we
might be bold enough to hope
that it may be part of the sun
shine and only the smallest and
gentlest of the showers that shall
bring the bud to bloom into the
beauty and glory of a noble man
hood.
But it is about as much as we
can dare to hope that The Weekly
shall not be the branch upon that
rosebush along which the bugs
and worms shall find their way to
this rosebud of promise.
And herein lies the responsibil
ity of a newspaper, a responsibility
directly to men, but more fearful
in the accounting as a responsibil
ity to God himself.
And, as the end of our first year
approaches, we see so much of
our hopes unrealized; not in the
way of support, for that has been
far beyond our deserts and trans
cends our power of thanks; but
we have not produced as good a
pape ’ as we desired and still de
sire to do; but we ‘eel that in o e
respect we have succeeded. We
have been willing to speak of the
heart-throbs, but never of the
heart-stabs. The evil that men
do travels fast enough without
seeking passage on the printing
press; the good is not so fast and
needs more the acceleration of its
aid, and this is our aim.
And a step further, now; a step
back to the boy, too.
There is one of the sayings of
the Saviour, whose observance on
our part, we believe, would come
nearer to establishing a heaven on
earth, and 10 haste, ing ti e millen
nium than the observance of an;
other portion of the scriptures
dealing merely with man’s earthly
conduct: “Except ye become as
a little child, ye cannot ~e 11-
kingdom of heaven.”
Our little friend, stay a boy
keep always t. e cnild-n :o h
and you will ever understand
many of the deeper mysteries that
are beyond the ken of foolish man,
remembering ever that
“Trailing clouds of glory do we
come
From God, who is our home;
Heaven lies auout us in our in
fancy,
Shades of the prison house b. yin
to close
Upon the growing boy;
But he beholds the light and
whence it flows,
He sees it in his joy;
The youth who daily farther from
Must travel still is natures priest
And by the Vision, splenaiu
Is on his way attended.'’
