For 11101e thrill sixty years,
Tts few upheld the Christian cause,
Or could its truths re,yeal,
Or lived according to its laws

Would doribt what he would say.

To THE EDITOR OF THE 1-1.,DVOCATE.
DE 311 SIR: -1 have a grave problem
to submit to the citizens of Exeter, to
every surrounding village, zind :appar-
entty shOulcl be presented in every
city, town and village in Ontario.
The problem is: What is wrong with
Our boys? and hew shall we remedy
the wrong? if such ,exists. On the
street, in your stere or office, in the
homes, from the platform, 'from the
mlpit, yea hear the continual wailing,
hat shall We do with our boys? It
is said in all those places that our boys
Smoke cigarettes, cigai.s,, pipes; drink
and get drunk; are runnannerly; use
foul, indecent and bad language; are
lazy spendthrifts; gamble, aud in fact
that the ordinary boy of to -day is bad.
IS this 'accusation true or 'false? .ikfter.
considerable eng ivy I- ant personally
convinced that it is partly trne. True
to a larger .extent than any father,
mother,.philanthropist, or any person
Svhci wished well to his fellow -beings,
could. wish. Parental authority,
lie school discipline, Sabbath school
teachings, chnrches, single lectures,
all Ordinary/lie:ins that have been tried
seem inadequate to the occasion. Cur-
few bellsdn other towns do not seem
to. get to the bottom of the trouble.
You can't curfew a boy or girl of six-
