One day he was sitting by the side of his cousin, Henry Boynton, when the two lads began to indulge in little tricks with each other. The teacher noticed their inattention, and, when they laughed out a little louder than they had intended, he called out, "James and Henry, lay aside your books and go home, both of you." ONE DAY HE WAS SITTING BY THE SIDE OF HIS COUSIN HENRY BONTON WHEN THE TWO LADS BEGAN TO INDULGE IN LITTLE TRICKS WITH EACH OTHER THE TEACHER NOTICED THEIR INATTENTION AND WHEN THEY LAUGHED OUT A LITTLE LOUDER THAN THEY HAD INTENDED HE CALLED OUT JAMES AND HENRY LAY ASIDE YOUR BOOKS AND GO HOME BOTH OF YOU
 will to do finds the way to do, and God helps the one who does his best. This was a revelation to James, who thought that God only helped people to be good. His mother opened his eyes to the fact that this meant to be good in everything--"good boys, good men, good workers, good thinkers, good farmers, and good teachers." After that, he regarded God as One who would help him in his daily labour and make all his efforts successful. Or, in other words, he saw clearly the truth of the proverb: "God helps those who help themselves." Two phases of his character were developed at a very early age, and these, coupled with good natural abilities, made him master of the situation. As we have already seen, he had plenty of self-reliance, the feeling that he could do anything that could be done, and the determination to make the most of himself. Then he was ready-witted, and able to grapple with unexpected emergencies. This will be seen in an incident which took place when he was a boy at school. GOD'S BLESSING ON HIS LABORS THE WILL TO DO FINDS THE WAY TO DO AND GOD HELPS THE ONE WHO DOES HIS BEST THIS WAS A REVELATION TO JAMES WHO THOUGHT THAT GODD ONLY HELPED PEOPLE TO BE GOOD HIS MOTHER OPENED HIS EYES TO THE FACT THAT THIS MEANT TO BE GOOD IN EVERYTHING GOOD BOYS GOOD MEN GOOD WORKERS GOOD THINKERS GOOD FARMERS AND GOOD TEACHERS AFTER THAT HE REGARDED GOD AS ONE WHO WOULD HELP HIM IN HIS DAILY LABOR AND MAKE ALL HIS EFFORTS SUCCESSFUL OR IN OTHER WORDS HE SAW CLEARLY THE TRUTH OF THE PROVERB GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES TWO PHASES OF HIS CHARACTER WERE DEVELOPED AT A VERY EARLY AGE AND THESE COUPLED WITH GOOD NATURAL ABILITIES MADE HIM MASTER OF THE SITUATION AS WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN HE HAD PLENTY OF SELF RELIANCE THE FEELING THAT HE COULD DO ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AND THE DETERMINATION TO MAKE THE MOST OF HIMSELF THEN HE WAS READY WITTED AND ABLE TO GRAPPLE WITH UNEXPECTED EMERGENCIES THIS WILL BE SEEN IN AN INCIDENT WHICH TOOK PLACE WHEN HE WAS A BOY AT SCHOOL
