My Dear Boy Friend : 
 
 You will doubtless wonder why 
 one whom you have never seen addresses 
 you as friend. Let me say before speaking to 
 you on what I consider to be one of the most 
 important subjects of a boy's life, that I want 
 you to think of me as your friend, even 
 though you have never seen nor heard of me. 
 You are a boy over ten (10) years of age, 
 and as such I w 7 ant you to listen to me for 
 a little time while I tell you some things that 
 you ought to know 7 about yourself. 
 
 You perhaps do know at least the impure 
 side of the subject of my talk, but I want 
 
4 A CONFIDKNTlAt TAtK 
 
 that you should know the pure side, and to- 
 day I am to tell you about 
 
 SKLF- ABUSE. 
 
 ^ i . Its results — (a) On the body ; {b) on 
 the mind ; (V) on the soul. 
 
 2. Things you ought not to do in order 
 not to be tempted. 
 
 3. Things you can do in order to gain 
 strength with which to successfully fight this 
 sin. 
 
 4. The best and surest help a boy can 
 have in order that he may conquer this habit. 
 
 5. Every boy's duty in regard to self- 
 abuse. 
 
 First — I will describe what self-abuse is. 
 Perhaps you have never heard this term be- 
 fore, but I am sure you have heard other 
 terms which mean the same thing, and so to 
 be sure that you understand just what I am 
 talking about I will speak in boy language. 
 Of course you know that when God formed 
 your body, he formed each part, as the 
 eye, the ear, the hand, etc., to perform a 
 
- WITH THK BOYS OF AMERICA. 5 
 
 certain work, and no one part was made im- 
 pure, but every organ was made to be pure, 
 and together all organs of a boy's body 
 should form a perfect, pure, clean boy. You 
 also know that if you should abuse your eyes 
 your sight would become impaired or lost ; or 
 if you abuse your teeth they will decay ; or 
 if you abuse your ears you will lose your 
 power of hearing, now just so true is it that 
 if you abuse any other part of your body 
 the work for which it was made cannot be 
 done ; and even more, the very fact of its 
 work not being done will lead to the other 
 parts not doing their work, for the body is 
 just like a big machine — if any part is left 
 out, the whole machine will refuse to work. 
 You can, of course, see that this being true, 
 it is of great importance that you do not 
 abuse any part of your body. When I speak 
 of self-abuse I mean what a boy means when 
 he speaks of playing with himself, which is 
 the playing with that organ which God has 
 given every boy in order that the impurities 
 
6 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 taken from the blood may be sent from the 
 body in the shape of water, or what we call 
 urine. Many boys, instead of keeping this 
 organ for that purpose, are handling it with 
 other purposes than that for which it was 
 made, and if you have learned to do this I 
 want to plead with you to stop it at once, and 
 if you have not yet learned to do it I want 
 you to be on your guard and never yield to 
 the temptation. Other boys may try to get 
 you to do it, and perhaps some impure man 
 may tell you that there is no harm in it, but 
 I tell you, Beware of all such persons ! for I 
 know of boys whose lives are well nigh 
 ruined because of this dreadful habit, and 
 many young men of my acquaintance who 
 confess to have learned, when boys, to han- 
 dle this organ, are to-day pale and sickly, 
 with all true ambition gone. 
 
 I think I have made clear to you what 
 self-abuse is-. I want now to tell you what 
 ITS RESULTS 
 
 are upon the body, mind and soul. 
 
WITH THK BOYS OF AMKRICA. J 
 
 i. The body is the home of the mind 
 and soul, and God's book tells us that our 
 bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, 
 and so if we are to have our mind and soul 
 well housed, and if we are to be good tem- 
 ples for God's spirit to dwell in, then we 
 must keep our bodies pure. I have said that 
 young men of my acquaintance who have 
 been committing self- abuse are pale, w T eak 
 and sickly. This is a result on the body. 
 Physicians have told me that the reason 
 so many boys' faces are pale and pimply, 
 eyes sunken, teeth poor, appetite lost, and 
 they listless and careless about their dress, 
 is because they are committing self-abuse. I 
 know of a young man who was a member of 
 a Young Men's Christian Association with 
 which I was connected, whose body was cov- 
 ered with sores, and for six months that 
 young man was compelled to remain in a 
 darkened room, one of the main causes 
 being self-abuse. I might mention many cases 
 of this kind, resulting from self- abuse, but it 
 
8 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 is only necessary to say that the results of 
 self-abuse on a boy's body are such as in 
 time to utterly ruin it. Do you wa?it to have 
 a strong, well-developed , body ? Then don't 
 commit this sin. 
 
 2. Its results upon a boy's mind are ter- 
 rible. I was talking to a boy the other 
 day, and he told me that he had been 
 doing this thing for three years. I wish 
 you could have seen him . He was silly and 
 half-witted ; none of the boys respected him, 
 because he did not have the ordinary com- 
 mon sense of a boy of his age, and when 
 I told him what the results of the habit 
 were upon the mind, the tears came to his 
 eyes and he promised to give up the habit 
 that he might make a man of himself. How 
 many young men and boys become insane 
 as a result of this habit, it is hard to say, 
 but physicians who have studied the matter 
 tell me that many young men are sent to 
 the insane asylum each year because of 
 their minds giving way as a result of self- 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 9 
 
 abuse. Only a few weeks ago I had a physi- 
 cian talk to a boys' meeting on "Personal 
 Purity," and he spoke very plainly about 
 this terrible sin. After the meeting had closed 
 one of the older boys went to him and 
 asked him if he could meet him for a private 
 talk, and at the private talk the boy told 
 him that he had been committing self- abuse 
 until even at night he could not stop the 
 flow of semen* — even though he did not han- 
 dle his private parts — and he said that it 
 
 * The semen, spoken of above, is a fluid or liquid 
 substance formed from the blood, and is passed out of 
 the body through the penis. This does not generally 
 pass off until a boy is fourteen or fifteen years of age, 
 and then only as a boy abuses himself; but, as a result 
 of self-abuse, this fluid will many times pass off 
 when a boy is simply thinking of impure things, 
 or perhaps dreaming about impure pictures or stories. 
 Some boys think that to be able to throw off this 
 semen makes men of them, but let me tell you 
 that a boy who abuses himself so that semen is smt 
 from the body, is but taking a short cut to the ruin 
 of his whole being. He is sending off his very life 
 and vitality with it. Remember, also, that if there is 
 no flow of semen at first, that if you persist in com- 
 mitting this sin it will be but a short while before 
 the flow will come and you will be unable to stop it. 
 In after years, when you become a man, it will be 
 natural for the semen to flow at certain times, but 
 not in early boyhood days. 
 
IO A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 was impossible for him to study, so weak 
 and exhausted was he after the night season. 
 This is, of course, an extreme case, but it is 
 just what may happen to you if you persist 
 in committing this sin against your mind. 
 
 3. I now pass to its results upon the 
 soul. While I w T as General Secretary of a 
 Young Men's Christian Association, a boy — 
 a member of the Boys' Department — came 
 to me and said : " Mr. Dick, the boys want 
 me to run for President, but I don't want 
 to ; I can't do it." He was a bright, intelli- 
 gent Christian boy, and I rather thought 
 that he was just the boy for President, so 
 I told him that if the boys wanted him and 
 if he had no good reason for not so doing, 
 that I thought it was his duty to run. He 
 told me that he had a good reason for re- 
 fusing, and then with tears in his eyes he 
 told me that he was addicted to self-abuse 
 and that he could not give it up. I worked 
 long with that boy, and tried in every way to 
 help him, but he let that sin conquer him, 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. II 
 
 and his spiritual life left him. He lost all 
 interest in the Boys' Department, and I doubt 
 not but that to-day he is going toward Satan 
 rather than toward God. I tell you, my 
 dear boy, that you cannot love and serve 
 Jesus Christ if you do not refuse to be im- 
 pure. Then, again, the final home of the 
 soul is to be heaven, and God's Word tells 
 us that no self- abuser* can enter the kingdom 
 of God. I am sure that you want to be a 
 Christian boy, and that you want to enter 
 heaven when you leave this sinful world. 
 If so, I plead with you in the words of 
 the great Apostle Paul, "Keep thyself pure." f 
 Now let me speak to you about a few 
 things that boys do that lead them to self-abuse 
 and let me warn you to avoid doing them. 
 It will be hard work for you to avoid all 
 of them, but it is a matter of life and death, 
 and to-day I am pleading with you to choose 
 life. As a boy you are familiar with the 
 
 * I. Cor. vi : 9. f !• Tim. v : 22. 
 
12 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 low joke and smutty story which are so 
 often heard in a company of boys. Did you 
 ever think how much easier it is to remem- 
 ber these impure jokes and stories than to 
 remember your school lessons? Well, it is 
 easier, and I tell you, my boy, it is not only 
 easy to remember them , but it is hard to 
 forget them, and every time you speak an im- 
 pure word or hear an impure story you have 
 taken one step towards self- abuse, and your 
 fight against this habit is made so much the 
 harder if you would win. John B. Gough, 
 the great temperance lecturer, said that he 
 would willingly let his right arm be cleft 
 from his shoulder with an axe, if by so 
 doing he could forget the impure stories of 
 his boyhood days. I warn you, my boy, to 
 beware of the impure joke and story. Don't 
 tell them. Don't listen to them. Leave the 
 man or boy or crowd where they are being 
 told. Never laugh at them, should you be 
 compelled to hear them, for it is dangerous. 
 Then, again, there is the temptation to 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 1 3 
 
 every boy to read impure papers and books. 
 I call upon you as a boy who wants to be 
 saved from this dreadful habit of self-abuse 
 and its results to leave entirely alone all 
 impure papers and books. You will see 
 them, other boys will perhaps give them to 
 you to read. Refuse them, for they are the 
 devil's messengers of death to the boys who 
 read them. 
 
 Again, I want to warn you against the 
 impure pictures which, to the shame of our 
 country, are almost forced into the eyes of 
 our boys. Remember, my boy, that what- 
 ever is seen by the eye is flashed by the 
 optic nerve to the brain and you cannot 
 erase it. No, that impure picture which you 
 looked upon is there, and when you would 
 be pure that picture is tempting you to be 
 impure. I have seen boys crowded together 
 looking very intently at pictures, and found 
 that they were pictures of half-dressed women. 
 My boy, beware, for they are snares of Satan 
 to lead the boys of America to the hell of a 
 
1 4 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 lost body, mind and soul. When you see an 
 impure picture in a window, on a bill -board, 
 or anywhere else, turn from it, for it is dan- 
 gerous. 
 
 There is one thing that I want you 
 never under any consideration to do : that 
 is, never to consult any quack doctor, nor 
 indeed any physician who advertises to cure 
 self-abuse, for I tell you they cannot do it, 
 and even if they could many of them do not 
 wish to — they are simply after your money. 
 If you are in need of a physician's advice, 
 consult your family physician or some upright 
 Christian doctor. Many young men and 
 boys have been ruined by what is termed 
 quack doctors. Never have anything to do 
 with them. 
 
 I wish that these few hints might stir 
 you to always look upon the low joke and 
 smutty story, the impure paper and book, and 
 the impure picture as red flags warning you 
 that danger is ahead if you do not turn 
 from them. Let me give you a test to apply 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 1 5 
 
 to all of these things. It is this : Never say, 
 read, or look upon anything that you would 
 not be willing that your father should hear, 
 read, or look upon with you, for remember 
 that though you may do these things with- 
 out your earthly father's knowledge, yet your 
 Heavenly Father sees and knows all you say 
 and do. 
 
 I must now pass to 
 
 A FEW SUGGESTIONS 
 as to what a boy ca?i do that will prove a 
 help to him to give up or to avoid this 
 habit of self-abuse. They are things that 
 every boy can do. 
 
 1. Be clean. It has been well said that 
 " Cleanliness is second only to godliness," 
 and I believe that if our boys were more 
 careful about the cleanliness of the body 
 there would be less temptation to be impure. 
 I find that the boys who are always careful 
 to keep their teeth clean, and hands and 
 face always free from dirt, and body washed 
 regularly, and clothes neat and clean, are 
 
1 6 A CONFIDENTIAL TAI^K 
 
 f\ generally free from the habit of self- abuse. 
 If you are committing self-abuse and want 
 to break the habit, then I tell you, my boy, 
 keep all parts of your body clean. This leads 
 me to speak of a very important thing as a 
 help to purity. It is Bathing. I do not 
 mean the weekly bath which most boys take, 
 which is generally soap and warm water, but 
 I mean a cold water bath, either in tub, 
 shower or sponge form. I do not think 
 there is any remedy a boy can take that 
 will help him so much to keep from abusing 
 himself as a cold water bath taken each 
 morning and evening. If you cannot have 
 a tub to take it in, by all means use a 
 sponge. Such a bath can be taken in a very 
 few moments. Be sure to apply the cold 
 water in the middle of the back from the 
 neck down, and also on the private parts. 
 It will help every boy not only to be pure 
 but healthy also, and I am sure you want 
 to be both. 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 1 7 
 
 2. Another help is in regard to your 
 Eating. Stop eating fancy pastry, such as 
 pies, etc., also avoid eating pickles and all 
 seasonings, such as pepper, mustard and 
 sauces, and eat plain, simple food, at least 
 until you have conquered this habit. You 
 should also drink little or no coffee and 
 tea, but in its place drink cocoa and lots 
 of milk. You may think these things have 
 little to do with the matter, and are hard to 
 give up, but they have, and it is better to 
 give them up than to run the risk of ruin- 
 ing your body, and I am sure you will feel 
 better for having made the change. 
 
 3. Still another help is in regard to your 
 sleeping. Take enough exercise during the 
 day, in study, work and play, so that when 
 bedtime comes you will be ready to go to 
 sleep at once. If possible, get your parents 
 to let you sleep alone, and not on a feather 
 bed, but on a good hard mattress. Be care- 
 ful to learn the habit, when sleeping, of 
 keeping your hands away from the lower 
 
1 8 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 parts of the body. You can do this if you 
 try. Also be careful, when you awake in 
 the morning, to arise at once, and do not 
 lie in bed, awake, thinking. This last sug- 
 gestion is very important. 
 
 4. Still another help is the choosing of 
 ' good co nip a n ions . 
 
 {a) Books. Read good books. I have 
 already warned you against obscene and im- 
 pure papers and books. I now want to urge 
 you to read all the good books you can. 
 Read such books as treat of history and 
 biography, and such authors as Miss L,. M. 
 Alcott, Henty, Dickens and Scott, but 
 avoid all stories that will kindle your im- 
 agination, especially in a depraved and ex- 
 cited way. 
 
 (ti) Boys and girls. Every boy can 
 choose his own companions. It is to your 
 interest to choose the best boys and girls 
 as companions that you can find. I speak 
 of choosing girls as companions. Of course 
 T understand that boys do not want to, and 
 
WITH THK BOYS OF AMERICA. 1 9 
 
 I do not believe they should, make many 
 close companions of girls, but I do believe 
 that it is a good thing for boys to have 
 girl friends, provided they are good, pure girls. 
 Paul says,* " Evil communications corrupt 
 good manners," and so if we choose evil 
 companions our manners will become cor- 
 rupt, and I have found it to be true that 
 many boys are taught to commit self-abuse 
 by their companions. Choose the best boys 
 as your friends — boys that will help you 
 to be pure and to do right, rather than 
 boys who, having learned to be impure 
 themselves, will endeavor to make you im- 
 pure also. 
 
 Just as I had finished writing the sen- 
 tence above, I w r as interrupted by the ring- 
 ing of the fire bell, and hearing that a large 
 fire was in progress down town, I left my 
 stucffT mounted my wheel, and was soon at 
 the place w 7 here a large brick building w r a§ 
 
 * I. Cor. xv : 33, 
 
20 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 in flames. While standing looking at the 
 flames as they consumed the interior of the 
 building, one of my boy friends rode up 
 on his wheel, and we talked together about 
 the fire. He was only thirteen, and a bright, 
 intelligent boy, and as I noticed the great 
 excitement caused by the fire, and the hard 
 work which the firemen were doing in order 
 to put out the fire and save the building 
 of brick, I could but pray God that as much 
 effort might be put forth to quench the fire 
 of impurity that is burning up so many of 
 our boys, and in so doing save the building 
 of flesh and bones which has within it a 
 human soul. After the fire was put out I 
 met this same boy again, and we rode off 
 together. Thinking it a good time to say 
 a word that perhaps might put out the fire 
 of impurity if it was burning within him, 
 I spoke to him about self-abuse and its re- 
 sults, and he then confessed to me that he 
 had been taught to do it about a year be- 
 fore by one of his father's hired men and 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 21 
 
 that he had been doing it ever since. He 
 also said that he did not know what the 
 results were, and when I told him as I have 
 told you in this little book, he said that 
 God helping him he would never do it again. 
 O, my boy, is not this a warning to be careful 
 to avoid the companionship of all who 
 would lead you to be impure. God help 
 you to choose the best companions. I asked 
 the boy just referred to when it was that 
 he w r as most tempted to commit this sin. 
 He told me that it was when he did not 
 have anything else to do, and this leads 
 me to tell you that a great help against 
 impurity is to be always busy with mind 
 and muscle. Boys must have something to 
 do, and it is when they are not doing some- 
 thing which is right and good that they 
 are tempted to be impure. Keep your 
 mind active with pure thoughts and impure 
 thoughts will find no room. 
 
 5. Still another help is good exercise. I 
 believe every boy ought to be an athlete, 
 
22 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 to some extent, at least. "Be what God 
 intended you to be — a boy while boyhood 
 lasts." Play baseball, football, tennis; run, 
 jump, row, swim, and, in fact, take part in 
 all kinds of games, and you will be freer 
 from temptation to impurity for having done 
 so. In the winter, when athletic games are 
 
 r 
 
 impossible, exercise by skating and coasting, 
 and if possible, be a member of a Boys' 
 Department of a Young Men's Christian 
 Association, so that you can get gymnasium 
 exercise. Exercise taken in a proper way is 
 a thing that all boys ought to have. God 
 never meant that a boy should be cooped 
 up with his books all the time. Books 
 are very good, but books without physi- 
 cal exercise, are ruinous to boy life. I 
 think that if you are careful not to do the 
 things I have warned you against, and care- 
 ful to to do the things I have suggested as 
 helps against temptation that you w T ill be able 
 to conquer this awful habit of self-abuse. 
 
^ - WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 23 
 
 V u 
 
 Yet I have not spoken of 
 THE GREATEST HELP 
 a boy can have, and not only the greatest 
 but the surest help to a life of purity. I 
 refer to the purest among the pure — the 
 man Christ Jesus. 
 
 I want to tell you an experience of 
 my own in regard to a habit which I learned 
 when a boy of nine or ten, and which I 
 kept for over six years, though I often tried 
 to give it up, yet never did until I let Jesus 
 help me. I refer to smoking. As I said, I 
 learned when only about nine years old, and 
 I well remember how father used to whip 
 me when I was caught, and when, later 
 on, he found that whipping did not have the 
 desired effect of making me stop, he offered 
 me prizes. I remember when I was about 
 fifteen he offered to give me one hundred 
 dollars if I would give up tobacco for one 
 year. I made up my mind to do it and 
 win the money, but the habit was so strong 
 that I broke over, and of course did not 
 
24 A CONFIDENTIAL TALK 
 
 get the money. A little later bicycles came 
 into use among the boys of my acquaint- 
 ance, and I asked father to buy me one, 
 and he told me that if I would give up 
 smoking for one year I might have a bicycle. 
 I well remember how hard I tried. I threw 
 away all the cigarettes I had, and deter- 
 mined to get the bicycle, but with the 
 same result as before — I failed. Father died 
 not long after, and I still continued to 
 smoke, but one Sunday I went into a Gos- 
 pel meeting for men and boys and my heart 
 was touched with the love of Christ, and 
 I decided to be a Christian, and then the 
 matter of smoking came to my mind and I 
 asked myself the question, Can I smoke and 
 be a good Christian ? and I knew that I 
 ought to give up smoking forever, but then 
 the failure of the past flashed into my mind. 
 I was afraid I could not give it up. I 
 thought a long while about it, and finally 
 the words of Paul came to me :* "/ can do 
 
 * Phil, iv : 13. 
 
WITH ¥HK BOYS OF AMERICA. 25 
 
 all tilings through Christ which strengthened 
 
 me." I wrote them on a slip of paper, 
 and underneath I wrote: "I believe these 
 words to be true, and believing them to 
 be true, I will from this day with Jesus' 
 help give up the use of tobacco ; ' ' and from 
 that day to this I have never even wanted 
 to smoke. 
 
 I tell you this personal experience, my 
 boy, because I want to point your thoughts 
 toward Jesus as the greatest help a boy can 
 have to save him from all sin. The name 
 Jesus means Saviour, and if you have been 
 or are committing self- abuse, I plead with 
 you to ask Jesus to help you give it up. 
 He is your friend, and he can and will help 
 you. Remember that Jesus was absolutely 
 pure when upon this earth, and that no 
 man has been able to show that he ever 
 sinned, and remember also that he wants 
 you to be pure, and that he has promised 
 that if you give your heart to him he will 
 cleanse it and keep it clean. My dear boy, 
 
26 -A CONFKI^NTlAt *fAti£ 
 
 will you not just now bow your head and 
 ask him to help you be pure? 
 
 I must now close this plain friendly 
 talk with a few words as to 
 
 YOUR DUTY IN RKGARD TO PURITY. 
 
 i. Be absolutely pure yourself. You 
 have often heard the words, "Practice what 
 you preach . " I want you to be a preacher of 
 purity, and so the first thing for you to do 
 is to be pure, and this is of itself preaching. 
 
 2. Then, again, I want you to think 
 that in some sense, at least, you are your 
 playmate's keeper. It is your duty as a 
 boy who is pure and who understands the 
 results of self-abuse to warn other boys. 
 Not in the way which a boy told me a 
 few days ago that he warned his little 
 brother whom he caught practicing this 
 habit, namely, by whipping him, but rather 
 by sitting down and in a friendly, loving 
 way explain what the results are, and if 
 you have a copy of this book give it to 
 him to read, and then pray God to help 
 
WITH THE BOYS OF AMERICA. 27 
 
 him be pure. It is a grand thing to be 
 of service to God by turning boys from 
 sin to righteousness, and the blessed prom- 
 ise is :* "They that be wise shall shine as 
 the brightness of the firmament, and they 
 that turn many to righteousness as the 
 stars forever and ever." Do you not want 
 to be a shining star in the kingdom of 
 God? I am sure that you do, and so I 
 I plead with you, first, to give your own 
 heart to Jesus the Saviour of the world, 
 and then, by the purity of your life and 
 the activity of your service, win other boys 
 from sin and Satan to righteousness and 
 God. 
 
 My little talk I close with the earnest 
 prayer that Jesus, w r ho was once a boy, pure- 
 minded and holy, — who so dearly loves the 
 boys of to-day — will use it to the purifying 
 of the boys of America and to the praise 
 and glory of His name.
