Commentaries or questions will be appreciated. Fathers should also be aware of their daughters natural desire for affection and not misconstrue it as a desire for sexual activity. They should keep their own instincts under control and see to it that their daughters are protected from their own vulnerability.

Christians as a whole are neither Quakers nor Mennonites who have traditionally professed absolute pacifism.
