Where Is Your Boy To-Night?

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
DARK temptations on every hand Lure the bright soul of youth; Gilded falsehood with silver notes Drowneth the voice of truth; Man of the world with open purse, Seeking your own delight, Pause ere reason is wholly gone: Where is your boy to-night?
Doors of pleasure are open wide, Only to lead astray, Only to lure the young inside, Out of the narrow way; Dainty lady with costly robes, Your parlors gleam with light; Joy and beauty your home may fill: Where is your boy to-night?
Dangers lurk in the flowery way, Sin hath a shining gate; Who shall guide the unwary feet Into the pathway straight? Patient worker with willing hand, Keeping the fireside bright, Tired mother with tender eyes, Where is your boy to-night?
Ask the Saviour to guard his way, E'er they have entered in; Keep him unspotted while yet you may, Earth is so stained with sin. Ere he hath learned to follow wrong, Teach him to love the right. Answer, for he to your heart belongs, Where is your boy to-night?
