St. John News: Some people think Fit a mystery that, notwithstanding good advice their boys grow up.
to be wild reckless young men. If these boys were taught from infancy that home was the proper place for them after dark, rather than prowling around the streets, annoying well and sick people alike, much of this mystery might be explained, and young men with better moral character and more intelligent minds would be the result. No parent need expect pure morals in a boy that prowls about the streets at night, even if he does go to Sunday school. 14 DISTRICT CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR INSTITUTE.
