“Us Boys" Again,
As one of the hoys, we have
often thought of how we boys
should be brought up. Of course
we have sometimes had to revise
our ideas on this question after
consulting our parents.
But the trouble in most cases
has not been that we \ 6re not
allowed to do what we desired
to do, for the American boy has
not had much difficulty in that
line. But the great fault lies in
the fact that neither our elders
nor we have known what we
realy want and so we have not
had their aid in securing the
k'euine arid worthy Wants of the
hoy’s heart.
Very often the parent has for
gotten his own childhood and so
is not acquainted with that of his
-child; and the child himself is a
stranger to childhoo' in its
noblest meaning and so does not
appreciate it and its deeper joys
and privileges.
The lack lies in the n ah’s loss
of the childlike spirit and so of his
power, by again being a boy with
the boys, of aiding them to use i;
full measure the opportunities ot
boyhood.
He is no longer a boy with the
boys.
sßut a b.e -sed solution of tin
problem has been found.
It us found iii ih<* organization
known as the BO / SCOUIS Oi
AMERICA.
This organization is religious
but non-sectanau and does no,
und< Caket< s antthe activities
■o ’other orga. n ations, but lathvi
to supplement theia.
In its resuits tais movement lia
a wonderful record.
Organizing less than three years
ago, it has rapidly spread ovet
the entire c u.ary and no a num
bers a million members, scattere .
in every section.
Many of t. 1 boy scouts have 1
performed heroic deeds of !iu
saving, which they learned in
their training as scouts, Manx
have saved houses and homes
from burning before the f.i'e de
partment could reach the scene.
And all kinds of heroic deeds
are to their credit
With it all is taught one su
preme duty, obedience to author
ity.
The movement has just begun
a: i is destined to embrace every
ci nmunity in the country where
tl. re are boys.

PEARL’S BIBLE QUESTION
ANSWERED BY “READER.”
The Henry County Weekly,
McDonough, Ga.
Gentleman:-
I read with interest
the different letters from your
writers about the country, and
especially the letters from “Happy
tiapenings.”
Recently I noticed a question
asked as to who Cain married
after he h d slain his brother
Abel. I haven’t as yet noticed
any one answering this question,
and as a Biole reader, i would say
that there is no direct answer to
the question.
But, we can get a good idea if
we look at it in this way: After
Cain had slain his brother Abel,
he left from the presence of the
Lord and dwelt in the land of
Nod. He must have stayed there
for a long time, as we understand
that Adam and Eve were the first
on earth, and then Cain and Abel.
So it necessitated his being there
until Adam had gotten to be old.
\Ve will notice that Adam lived an
hundred and thirty years, and be
gat a son, in his own likeness,
after his own image, (Gen. 5-3)
and called his name Seth. And
the days of Adam after he had
begotten. Seth were eight hundred
years, and he begat Sons and
Daughters, and all the years
that Adam lived was nine hundred
aid thirty years, and he died.
We will now go to Gen. 6-1.,
and will see “that when men he
rn n to multiply on the face of the
earth, a d daughters were born
unto them." And the Sons of
God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair, and they look
them wives of all which they
chose.
So, with these facts in front of
us, xve are led to believe that
Cain was one that married the
“daughters of men.” We have
no record that he was not one of
the ft w that 1 xisted in those days.
We lm\v questions all through
ae bibb-, th y have not all direct
mswers to them, but it is made
chin, and as he scripture sayeth:
‘ v .it ch the scriptures” as in them
I ,ve think we have eternal life.
\s for instance: “How shall we
j -scape if we neglect so great sal
vation? And, if the righteous
scarely be saved, where shall the
sinner appeal ?”
So as it is impossible for God
to lie, and knowing that Cain
really married, xve must suppose,
that he married one of “the daugh-
Itirs of men,” as above stated.
We must admit further that Cain’s
seed xvere righteous, as Enoch
was liis son, and Enoch walked
i xvith tjuu.
The ages of men in those days
was about nine hundred years,
and it is easy to suppose that
Cain could have lived in the land
of Nod for a long time, and then
taken unto himself a wife.
Yours truly,
“A Reader.”
