Look OUr.-foung man! a misstep may
destroy life. One sin may ruin your charac-
ter. Did you ever reflect on the consequence
of single indulgence in vice? The best men
have fallen through the suggestion of another.
How careful you should be while in the fresh
ness Of your days, least blight fall on you
forever. If invited to place of resort where
IL is difficult to decide, take the safe course,
stay away and save your reputation. This i,
jewel of inestimable value, too precious to
be put in jeopardy. Noman ever regrets that
he kept alOof from temptation, and to the close
of life he expresses joy that he was saved
from the path Of shame by giving a decided
negative when the voice of pleasure beckoned
him on. Be decided and you are safe Yield
And you may be lost. W atch with diligence,
and guard every avenue through which sin
may reach you. In no other way will you be
sure to overcome the evils Of the world.
