W T . . a tAiiAiiillltttltittttl (Continued from Page 9 one false step here means death," 'watch your step,", my guide con tinued," not only in this mountain, but in your home, "Watch your Btep in society," "Watch your step in the hour of temptation," "Watch your wordtt, for every word, is a step," "Watch your deeds, for every deed is a step," "Watch your hands, for every touch, every contact is a step," "Watch your deeds, for deed ia a, step," "Watch your hands, for every touch, every contact is , a step," "Handle not, touch not the unclean thing." Who was this guide, .this most sainted man of all men? Allow me to introduce him to you, my boys of America. Here is his most ven erable and sacred title. His name is Old Prudence, bedecked with "Wisdom and Knowledge- and Truth. Follow him through life. Old Mr. Prudence took me to the very apex ,or summit of the lofty mountain, and facing me in a man ner which he never before Bad taken, and pointing his finger directly in my eyes moving his Hps as if in deep whispered prayer, without uttering a tone, before speaking, said, 'Watch your habits, for in these are the issues of life and death, in these are the formation of what is pleased to call character." "Watch, he con tinued," your desires and measure thera; ponder them, try them at all times, and see if they are. chaste, remember that unchaste desires are kindled by bloody fires, and these are ruinous if not curbed." Old Mr. Prudence banished and left me to myself. But being left his counsel, his ambition, his early guidance ,all have been of use to me in life, and I commend them to the boys who would climb this mountain of life. Take them, use them freely, bind them about your neck, but keep them as a mirror. See yourself each day as you arrange your toilet, as you make your rounds. DENISON READERS NOTICE.
