IS THE YOUNG MAN SAFE?
Rev. Snppenield Says the Tempta-
lions Which Beset Him Are a
Menace to His Welfare.

as the young man safe?" asked Rev. L.
c. Sappenfield at the outset of his sermon
last evening at the Arlington NJ. E..
church. The preacher fears the young
man is not safe.
THE young man leaves home" he sale,
enters society. is exposed to manifold
temptations and allurements: his mast
training Will have much TO do with his
present life in enabling him to resist temp
tations and TO keep himself pure amongst
Ihs evils that he must come into contact
with In a social and business way.
In business life the young man en-
counters in this day and age of the world
the closest competition, the most exacting
claims are upon him and there are in
Vulnerable inducements to swerve from the
path OF duty. He is thrown into society
anil very often the moral standard is low;
TOO many have little regard for purity and
uprtghtness and his environment will af-
tect him more or less. II he is not so
fortunate as to be in business. idleness is
a fruitful field for evil. The Young man
without employment meets many tempta-
tons and is often led astray because he is
exposed during his idleness. This assocIa-
ton sometimes leads him to the saloon,
where he is induced to take a glass in a
social way; This, as he %frequents the
SAIGON, Will grow upon him. Little By
little he may yield, though expecting when
he began to be a sober man; his moral
standard is gradually undermined and the
then a drunkard. and is lost to society. his
home and friends.
flaming Is also a source OF great dam
ger, very fascinating in its nature, and
once INDUCED in will prove a force that will
be hard to resist. The young man, to play
for amusement, will by and by play for
small stakes, and will finally become so
absorbed in the games that he will stake
all he has, lose his interest in business
and social life, and the whole trend of his
being will be toward the gambling room.
"Skepticism of the age is a source of
great nge to many young men going
out from religious homes and moral inhu-
ences. This is a day Of Investigation, and
a day of free belief, and very often young
men who have had religious training in
their youth are caught by the glittering
show of skepticism with which they are
surrounded, and after a while will regard
the church as out of date and religious peo-
pie as fogies.
Il regard Sunday dissertation as a great
source OF evil to young men. The open
park, the baseball games and other amuse-
ments keep many young men from church
services, Sunday school and religious in
huence. and may be the means of sever
ing them from a life of religion"

Physical changes are not the saddest.

II was a sad change when the disciples
forsook their Lord. One has said, Friends

HE is the same in wisdom. He had the
purpose to found a universal kingdom. His
method. was not to do SO by force, but by
love. Alexander and Caesar used the
sword. Their empires have persisted. Jesus
draws men to Himself by love. His wis

grows stronger from age to age. There Is
a world of consolation in knowing that our
great Leader is possessed of infinite Wis

Of His people. He is the same in His love.
His love Is wide as the world. 1t IS as q
