3 Uhr Gleamu e The Youth Who Wins EBSTER says. By winning We gain the victory. The thought of win- ning, then, necessitates the idea of battles to tight. of perplexing prob- lems to solve, of conflicts in which the winner must engage before the victory can be won. ' The youth will have battles and he should recognize them as his own, iight them as his own, and come out a conqueror. Some might wonder what these battles are. First, he must combat the enemies-ill health, and disease. He must have good health to give him energy, wholesomencss. enthusiasm, and personal magnetism. His second battle may be in the spirit. There Will be dis- couraging times when mountains of difficulties as impassible as the Alps may loom between himiand success, but he must have a iixed purpose, a goal in view. He must learn to say with Napoleon, f'There are no Alps. The youth who has a Christian home has the advantage over others, for from his babyhood he has had instilled within his mind, obedience and respect for his parents and at an early age is more apt to give his heart to Jesus. If the parents see that their children read good pure literature and should sur- round them with every environment it will tend toward higher ideals and pure morals. The usage of good language should be insisted upon-for lan- guage is charactcr in expression, and purity of speech denotes purity of thought. As a result of such training the youth will be energetic, responsive, tactful, and honest in thought, Word and purpose. Honesty is power, it gives convic- tions, self-respect and self confidence. Honesty puts life into words, it is the basis of that silent force that passes from man to man, speaking louder than words, and the youth who is going to succeed in life must have these characteristics. The second vital factor in the training of youth is his selection of the school for his professional training. A boy or girl may succeed in his studies but if, while attaining high scholastic standings, he should have his faith in God and in the Bible wrecked, what a calamity! The youth who wins must have faith in God, faith in man, faith in him- self and faith that he will be victorious both physically and spiritually. The Word says, Without faith it is impossible to please Godf, The person who starts in life actuated by selfish motives, and practices for mercenary ends, is a failure from the beginning. Even though he make money, and command an extensive practice, the motives of his life will dwarf his soul and inhibit the development. of those qualities of mind and heart that command respect and confidence. The youth who is actuated by pure motives and true ideals. who practices his profession to serve his com- munity. who does his best and lives an exemplary life, throwing out a good influence to all with whom he comes in contact, and above all keeping before him the vision of Christ on the Cross will be the youth who wins in life. -Ruth Kirk. tg I ...54..
