Livingstone said that one day one of
tlie old highlanders called lils children
around him timi said: "Now, my lads,
I have looked all through our family
lim-. I bare gone back us far us I can,
and I find that all our ancestors were
honest people. There doesn't seem to
be one rogue among them, and you
have good blood. Now, my lads, be
honest."
Four Plain Questions.
There are hundreds of young men
v, ho have good blood. Shall I ask three
or four plain questions? Are your hab?
its as good as when you left your fa?
ther's house? Have you a pool ticket
in your pocket? Have you a fraudu?
lent document? Have you been experi?
menting to see how accurate an imita?
tion you could make of your employer's
signature? Oh, you have good blood.
Bemember your father's prayers. Be
rueuiber your mother's example. Turn
not In an evil way. Have you been go?
ing astray? Come hack. Have you
ventured out too far?
As I stand In pulpits looking over
audiences sometimes my heart fails
me. There are so many tragedies pres?
ent, so many who have sacrificed their
integrity, so many far away from God.
Why, my brother, there have been too
mauy prayers offered for you to have
you go overboard. And there are those
venturing down into sin, and my heart
aches to call them back.
