greatness can he traced directly back to bla
boyhood environment*
“Tho Thoughta of Youth.”
The Imagination loves to dwejl upon the
picture of thla little Hebrew lad,'busy about
the small task* of the great central place
of worship. He waa a prop nud comfort to
old Ell. the high priest, whose own sons
had foiled him. IVbat were Mmotl’s brood
ing* upon the glory nud mystery of that
Presence which hnd been Israel'* guide and
protector throughout lta romantic history?
“A boy's will la tbe wind'* will,
Aud the thought* of youth are long, long
thoughts."
Tho purposes which most profoundly ef
fect character and destiny arc those formed
In early youth.
One night Knrouel heard a voice culling
him. He thought It was Ell's voice. It Is
natural to put the lower .Interpretation
upon tho higher Influences of life. A portion
seldom discerns tho real meanlug of the
greatest event* In tho world's history. One
ilsy when Moody and ttaukey were In Eng
land Hankey put bis hand upon the head of
a little My pay boy and expressed the wlali
that oue day he might preach the goanel.
That boy ImcAtne “Gypsy Hmlth,” Eng
land’s greatest evangelist. Ills prenehlng
turned to evangelism Mr. W. J. Dawson, a
well known literary man ainoug the clergy.
Hr. Jtawaon'a sermon on prayer converted
Professor E. Er Hale, Jr., whose addresses
among educated young men have been
feature of contemporaneous American lift
as have also the sermons of Dr. Dawaou
and Gypsy smith. No innn can tell where
the streams will run that have their aprlugs
In tho heart of a boy.
A “Hero-Am-1” Character.
In modern alang. Samuel would In* called
a hoy “on the Job.” He was a little "min
ute uinn." No sluggard or lle-n-bcd was he;
at tho tlrat aiiaiiuon* he wa* ready with
“Here am I,” as be hurried to Ell's side.
Old Ell, who, despite hfs weakness as a
parent. Is a rather majestic figure, realised
that the voice to which Samuel attributed
a huiunu origin waa really the volt's of <{
It must have been a bitter pang for the
priest to ase that he bad been passed by
when Jehovah wished to make a revelation;
but he eared for tho lord's cause more
than ho cared for himself. In thla pathetic
tdd figure there |* not a spark of Igno* •
Jealousy. In the great rrisla of his life
railed not. Bravely he heart! tbe do«tu ...
his bon*', beam** '*Thon bonorest tby son*
above me.” On him fell heavily the auf.
raring which come* to every parent who
ha* failed In hi* duty by hit sons.
Instructed by Kit, Samuel replied, when
again he heard the volte: "Mpeak, l*ml.
for thy servant heareth.” an answer which
represents tbe attitude of highest wisdom.
Whoever listen* to what Mod baa to aay Is
J ure of the highest education. Then waa
reported to Hnmuet the news of the Im
pending doom of Ell's house. It waa a bit
ter message for the tad to liar* to hear ami
carry. UU wanner of receiving It was
K ent. After pondering Its meaning througli
e night he went about the humdrum
of opening the doom and fnlfilllng bln mu
tine tasks. Hnppy I* he who know* how
to hold fast to commonplace, routine duty,
even amid the tragedies of life. When hid
den to do so. .Samuel told brave »l»i Ell
every whit that the tonl had spoken to
A Great Man’s Beginning.
Out of sjicD bojhoodeexpcrifnccs emerged

somewhere today are Hit lads who will tie
tomorrow's great men. They are “uuly

upon them In tbe light of what they will
