There are three things which all
should strive to avoid —bad thoughts, bad
words &ad bad deeds. A had thought is
the worst thing that can get into a boy's
heart, and the longer it remains there the
more mischievous it becomes. It a more
poisonous than arsenic --more deceitful
tion • snake, and far more dangerous
than a mad dog. A bad thought got in-
to the heart of the first boy that ever was
born, and it never left him till it made
h im kill hie brother. Shun bad thoughts;
fear them, ha.e them, fight against them,
and pray against them. Remember our
thoughts are heard is heaven. Bad
thoughts lead to bed words, which hay.
brought much evil into the world. They
creep through the ear into the heart, call
op all its had passions, and tempt it to
break God's Commandments. Stopour
ears against bad words and run from
those who see them u yoe would from •
tiger. Bad deeds follow bad thoughts
and bad words. Ratertaln bad thoughts
and yon are sure to ase bad words prac-
tise the speaking of ted words and you
are sore to do evil deeds. Queeeb the
first sport, and you will provost the
hemss being set on fire. Subdue the first
evil thought .ad sit. bad deeds will
truer be done. Lai your prayer be.
"Shenk me, 0 God ! sod know my
heart ; try me std keno my thoughts,
and see if there be any wicked way in
me, and lead me is the way everlasting."
Pray for gond thoughts, for they are the
beginning of everything sloe that is gnod
ana they are the beat ears for bad
thoughts, bed words and bed deeds.
