He is - far from : being "a saint-and he kpows it. Youth is the time . when the forbidden, fcpmes . with Its most allur ing ; smile j and makes the most seduc tive - proposals." A : young man's ;fall is ' not "necessarily f wicked, but - It . is nevertheless disastrous. Many a man has ; gone lame for a lifetime, as the penalty for a single', sin. Childhood Is thev period' of perfect trust: youth of skepticism. is Youth is . a period of bewilderment,- 'of "egotism, of' self -con celt." , Youth" Is a period of peril.

Is dangerous. -, Here men often sow their wild' oats, which they will Inevitably : reap later: in suffering for themselves and others.4 There . is the peril of losing" our ideals. Youth normally begins with high Ideals. : A pathetic sight,' - often Tepeated, is to see a young fellow '; start out : with magniftcant ideals and end a money grubberi or "become ' Immersed In a material view of iife This is the situation wihich confronts the average young man.. WhatJcan he do about it?" How can- he, have - a clean life; how .can he play , the man? This - takes us to . the answer of the text in the Bible. But how can the Bible ielp a, young man to live right? The"-Bible shows a -young man how to get saved, to get i life centered right. Life is never centered right until it centers In its maker. The Bible shews us how to - resist ' temptations. It is not necessary to. yield. - Thoso who are serene In old age are those whose lives have been r patterned on the Bible. Winter may-be on.thelr heads, but eternal summer lis J": their, . hearts.

Doubt is nejer a . climh up, but always a plunge down, - -The Bible shows that5- there is something, better than self-assertion; . It is .self-denial.
