Mr.. Rockefeller's Views On
Temptation.

Young Mr.. Rockefeller's Bible class is
one of the most interesting institutions In
the country. We are always glad wf1n
its leader seems to us to eXpound sound
moral doctrine; always sorry when any
detail of his views seems to lack validity.
The papers reported that on February
4th he talked about temptation, using
Joseph as an example OF successrul re-
sistance to It, He counseled his hearers
to avoid temptation. One paper quotes
him as saying: For my part. I believe
that the ordinary everyday temptations
that beset us are enough" So they are;
enough and a-plenty. But did he quote,
with sympathy, as another paper reports.
the confession Of fallen youth, who said
his downward career began when he
drank his first glass of beer? We should
class glasses of beer among the ordinary
everyday temptations that beset US, and
which are rather to be dealt with with
discretion than fearsomely Stunned. a
lad whose first glass of beer sends him
sliding towards Gehenna isn't sound stuff,
The fall of such a one does not illustrate
the dangers of temptation, but the dan
ners of ignorance and of shielded in
experience. Don't teach a boy that beer
Is u deadly and wicked beverage, which
all good people should avoid. Teach him
that beer Is beer and 1t behooves him to
look sharp how ne tools overmuch With
1t. Without temptation there can hardly
be manhood or character, but the ordi-
nary temptations are enough. To avoid,
as far as possible. the dangerous ones,
to deal warlly With the common ones,
and to kick the mean ones out OF the
