Boys are byped animals, two legged creatures. Every man except one was once a boy, but every boy don’t make a man. The boy or boyhood Is the trenchent, or passing stage, of this animal to maturity which should develop* a man. The boy is the image or likeness of man and the first man was made in the image of the creator. The first man was made good and given a law to keep, but he violated that law and fell and brought the pen alty of the law upon himselt and his descendents. So every boy that bas been born into the world has been born a debtor to the law of sin and transgression. Did I say every one? Yes every one ex cept One and b* was made sin for us, he bore aar sin* in his own body, he haviaf a* tins of his own. Boys you w*w aonceived iu sin and brought farth in iniquity. You are prone to evil. Your na ture is at varieaae with goodness. Every thoughtful person would know this even if the good book your parents talk to you about didh't Teach' it. So when this first man violated the law of ‘ his creator there was a promise given him that one of his offspring should keep the law and that he should be both the son of the creator and son of the created to redeem them that were under the law. Now boys you know something about this animal boy this mean boy, this two footed boy that I mentioned to you about at the be ginning don’t you. You know he wants to use bad words when he stumps his toes. You know how tempting it is to knock a chip off the chaps head who dares him not too. You know of his tricks and pranks and mischief and how long headed he is. He is just simply and naturally a wild, rough, law less, wicked boy. A chip off the same old block prone to evil con tinually. This puts all boys in one class except One. This One boy of whom we now speak was born over 1900 years ago. This boy kept the law that all other boys did and have ever violated. This boy was the son of man as you boys are and he was the only son of God. He kept all the law, that all the violated law of his heavenly father might be reconciled to each of you boys. He bore each of sins as your sins as your brother that each of vou might be reconciled to his father and your creator. This boy lived a perfect life as a boy and as a man became an offer ing for the sins of all the people of all ages of the world. And he requires nothing impos sible of you to become an equal heir with himself. He demands repentence of you for your own actual sins and traus CUMMING, GA. SEPTEMBER 1909 gression and the exercise of faith in Him to forgive all your sins. This is easy isn’t it boys? Now some of you boys if I were talking with you would say ; But I don’t know this fellow of whom you speak. Let me tell you boys you do know about this fellow this Jesus of Nazareth. For he said I will send my spirit which shall re prove the world of sin of righteous ness and of judgment. Now boys when you tell a false hood don’t something say thats wrong? When you have cursed, is there no reproof? That reproof comes from the soil of righteous ness. In every mean act you do is there not the spirit of reproof follows it ? if you answer yes then you are to that extent acquainted with Him that suffered for your sins and is beseeching you to ac cept offered mercy. It you answer no then you are either lying or are unrational or sure enough an ani mal who should be classed with the lower order of animals. And I dismiss vou. Now boys if you violate the phys ical laws you become a physical failure. If you violate the mental laws you become a mental failure. If you violate the moral laws you become a moral failure. If you violat3 the laws governing society you become a society '/allure. And for the violation of each of the laws you must suffer the penalty. You have already transgressed the divine laws and are already condemned and unless you accept offered mercy through repentance and claim Christ by faith as yonr righteousness you will beau eter nal failure. The law or word kills but the spirit makes alive. I write you boys to get yau to think for each of you have heads full of sense, if you will just use it and unless you do exercise your brain it will become numb, inactive and stagnant. If you ever amount to much you must have a purpose in life, and you can never reach a higher plan than your ideal. You can’t afford to trust your future to chance or haphazard. I have been hinting along at the Divine law that you might obey it and if so I assure you that you will never neea the assistance ot a law yer in the superior courts so far as the criminal docket is concerned. Now as to our state laws it seems. “The way of the transgressor is hard/’ The thing I want to discuss a while with you boys is: “That something in a bottle.” I’m no extremist, every boy that is acquainted with me know I like boys and wish them well and 1 don’t try to snare them and I look over all their faults I just can’t help loving ard sympathizing with boys. I was once a boy. I know how to sympathize with you. But the law loves no one. The law sympathizes with no one. “The way of the transgress or is hard.” The greater part ot the cases on our criminal docket is in some way connected with, “that something in & bottle.” A few years ago you could gat a -jug full” pretty reasonable from a tolerable reliable fellow and tbo law against the sale and use was new and appeared to kind a wink at the business. But now boys let me tell you : The days of this ig norance is passed and all men are going to repent unless they let the “stuff” alone. Now bays let me give you a piece of advice when you get up you bottle full you just hide it away and go to Cumming and see a law yer and get him to council you as to ’vhat he would charge you to de fend you for drinking at church or being drunk on the public high way or using abusive language &c. Also what your fine would be &c, then go tell your father what your lawyer told you and get his con sent. then get your mothers con sent. And if your parents don't give their consent then go and des troy the stuff that had like to have ruined your character. I want you to think, act sensible consult your lawyer, consult your father, consult your mother. Sit down and count up the coat and balance accounts and see if it would be a profitable investment. See if you could afford to spend say $75 : to get your name on the criminal dockett. Now boys you let the bottled stuff alone It don’t mai ler whetker it is sold at the “blind tiger” or from the wagon or buggy or by your Christian merchant. It is either a dangerous strong drink or a stepping stone to strong drink This soft drink business is worse than the old fashioned double cop pered whiskey and brandy. This chemically poisoned stuff has de moralized the old world and is fast getting its clutches on America Boys let it a'one, it will lead you wrong. Fellows will step into a store and ca’l for a bottle and hang the cap on a nail pull it off turn up the bottle drink its contents smack their mouth while their wife or mother sister are at home knocking the dirt out of their old shirts and battleing their already darned old socks. Think boys. Why not leave off ten bottles and hire two weeks washing done. Or if those drinks are needful buy a crate take it hom* and divide with your wife, mother or sister. Think boys lets reason together. I heard n*t any years "ago that there were preachers of more than one demonination in Georgia who would call for a refreshing drink. I can’t hardly believe it to be true. But if it is I had rather spend mon ey for snake eggs than for their support. It would be a better in vestment. Now boys I have just lightly hinted along the line that I would like to talk to you about. I want ycu to grow up to be men not just mere things who have to shave to distinguish themselves from other animals. I believe many of you boys are g. ing to think more than you have along the right lines and you are going to consider cost before yo go into this bottle business further. It will pay, I know what I’m talk ing about. Now boys if you don’t heed a good part of the above warning, it won’t be many years before yon will be stepping around with a. rabbit hide in your pocket to get the attention of a decent dog. Each one of you boys want to know what you will be when yon become a man and what yon will be thaught of; don’t you boys? Now let me give you two rule* that will determine those two very important questions. First you will be (by the grace of God) just what you make yourself. Second you will be rated just ac cording to the company you keep either good or bad. Your own ac tions will select your associates. Boys think of the responsibility that rests upon you, think of your duty to your family name to your parents to your country and to your God.
