w So long as children, whether
young men or maidens, ever come
with unhesitating confidence to their
parents, and tell them all their troubles
and temptations, the parents can keep
them under a guiding and controlling
hand; but as soon as they begin to
conceal their ofienses, and especially
their temptations, from their parents,
the devil gets the inside track and is
pretty sure to win the race.
