His little remark to | that we do not realize we are doing | he is now being treated as a boy and | not as a man. It is discovered that he { ideals, different codes of honor, even out: his censent, but the magistrate advised the parent to make no trou- | ble as the girl was already married | and liked the man she had espoused, which was really good advice, In Kingston, a similar case recently oe- curred, in which a mother objected to the marriage of her daughter, no. yet sixteen, and the young husband was sent to jail for informing the fs- girl was eighteen--the age of con- sent. It should be made known that | up to the age of eighteen parents can forbid the marriage of their children. Chapter 15, section 1, of the Ontario Act Respecting the Solemnization of Marriage, is to the following effect: "Where either of the parties to an intended marriage, not a widower or widow, is under the age of eighteen years, the consent of the father, if | living, or, if he is dead, of the mo- ther, if living, or of a guardign, ir ---- {ony to grow makes the church into any has been already appointed, eball be required before the license is issued or before the proclamation of the intention of the parties to in- termarry is made." That is the law, but it is often ey- aded. In the Kingston case the young bridegroom did not realize that it 8 to tell a marriage license issuer that the girl he was to wea was eighteen when she -was unaer the issuer got him a jail sentence, over which the judge felt keenly be- cause it had to be imposed. And yet the young man perhaps did no more than the farmer who tells you that the eggs he is gelling you are strict- !y fresh and you find them strictly stale, or that the bag of potatoes he sells you contains ninety pounds when it weighs only eighty. We are 80 accustomed to tell little untruths wrong. n ------ THE BOY. Much is being sald these days about "the boy, and something is being done for him. For a good many generations he was viewed as a sort ef hobbley hoy,.who needed a good deal of kicking around and a great deal of training. But the more "train- ing' he got the less training he was willing to receive. Better methods seem now to prevail. For one thing, lives in a somewhat different world from a man--a world with different of morals. But he is not willing to admit that his world is different, and he is trying always to gscape from that world to a man's world. The re- lease of himself is not easy, and of all people in the world a boy is the most sensitive, the most easily wounded in his feelings, and the most appreciative of a little praise, Per- haps the latter is because he gets so little. It is now being recognized that many of the boy's so-called vices are really exaggerated virtues. His ab- normal sense of loyalty to the "gang" will some day serve him in good stead in the political party; his de- light in adventure and tales of ad- venture is evidence of that hero wor- ship which makes for the finest cha- racter. It is also recognized that a boy needs very firm handling, very wise direction. Some things he must bave which he will not likely get ror himself. There is a certain discipline in life that we must all get; if we get it when we are young it win come much easier than if we wait until it is forced on us inthe stern experiences of life. Rugged honesty, a fine sense of honor, a stainless re- Putation, unquestioning obedience to constituted authority--these are things without which neither boy life nor adult life is béautiful or even tolerable. A boy in the 'teens is naturally an idealist. He is also naturally relig- fous. It is just here that the church often breaks down in its treatment of the boy. Quite rightly he is ob- liged to go to church and Sunday school when he is small, Often he is too willing to escape from this duty 4s soon as he gets out of the lower school. Perhaps if a little more no- tice were taken of his presence or abserice, it might help ; perhaps it there was something in the prayers or hymns or sermon specially attractive to him it might help; perhaps if he were given some- thing to do--some responsibility, however slight--it might help. But when you have set him his 'responsi- bility and he has accepted it you must see that he performs it. It won't do for him to think that he can come and go as he feels like it. He will need a good deal of encouragement, It helps a boy a 800d deal it his father is not only secretly proud of him 'but also chums with him. Most boys are proud of their fathers; per. Laps most mother: understand thefy boys better than their fathers do, but nothing is more delighttul than to see father and son as real compan- Ions and friends. That friendship is his greatest asset in his after ita. Few boys go wrong whose fathers bave been their best companions, It helps a boy alse to remember that Jesus was once twelve years old. No one doubts that JESUS WAS a real boy, loving the things boys love--the out-of-doors, the woodland, the wa- ter, the flowers and hills and all the things that boys love. A boy has his difficulties, his temptations, his dis- appointments. Doubtless Jesus also had His, but He continued to grow in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God THE Partments of life; in body, in mind, in heart and in society; but the em- phasis should be placed on GREW. | A boy ought to be told that he should | be infinitely patient with himself-- | { &s patient with himself as his mother ' was with hia when he was a baby. | Nothing is to be gained by getting | out of patience with himself. He may scold himself unmWercitully and call himself a fool, but it doesn't do much | good. A boy must win his gee pect, and he learis to respect himself by being both gentle and consider- ate--as gentle as a gardener is with | a tender fiower. As Henry Drum- mond says: "Growth must be spon- taneous. A boy not only grows with- out trying, but he cannot grow if he tries. The man who struggles in ag- ¢ workshop when God meant it to be a beautiful garden." The great apos- tie sald something not unlike this when he declared: I keep looking at the picture of Jesus in the gospel, and as I look at Him I grow like Him--I am changed into His char- #cter by the spirit of God. Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER Stuy DISEASES AND REMEDIES. I've tried all kinds of remedies which are supposed to cure disease, and there are some which give relief from anguish, fantods, pain and grief. Some pills will drive away the pain, and leave you feeling safe and sane, but only for a while, be sure! There is relief, but there's no cure. The dark green pains will all come back and make your weary sinews crack, and smoking, slide along your bones until you fill the night with groans. Beware the pills, whate'er their hue, the green, the purple or the blue, which lull you for a little while, and seem to urge a hopeful smile. For when the aches come back again, as they will come to pill- fed men, they'll climb your tendons and your thews, and they'll have spikes upon their shoes. There's but one cure for fleshly ills, and that cure's not disguised as pills. The Good Book tells of one old gent who 'neath his maladies was bent; he of- ten to the doctor's stept, "and with his fathers then he slept." And that's 'the only cure I know for all life's miseries and woe; just cast away the juice of squills, the porous plasters and the pills, the trusses and the liver pads, and 80 and slumber with your dads. --WALT MASON Premier Drury says he is still wait- ing for Hydro to answer questions on radials.
