Dear Mrs. Thompson: % rs II
proper for the girl to write first or the
boy when they both agree TO write?
(2) Is It correct for bunch OF young
people to go riding IA a truck IN the
afternoon?
90 II you are in the presence Of
young people and boy remarks some
thing very crude, how would you act?
a. Would you have the least BIT Of
respect for a boy who tried TO kiss
you and did not succeed?
90 1t seems that every time a bunch
OF us go out in a car we have to have
a oh aperon. What is the cause Of this?
Is it because our parents do not trust
us?
49, How would you treat boy who
broke a date?
OUT-OF-TOWN GUESTS.
% If girl meets boy while away
visiting and they agree to write, IT Is
all right for her to send him a note an
nouncing her arrival at home. In
other cases, / think it is best for the
boy to write first.
(2) 1t may not be correct TO ride In
a truck, but it would be a lot Of fun
and | think / would do il il l were a
young girl and had a chance.
90 Ignore the remark.
"a / would have respect for him IL

his ways.
90 Young people are human and
their desire for pleasure often makes
them do indiscreet things which they
would not do If they were older and
wiser. Your parents know this and
want to help you resist desire that
would not be for your good.
90 / would speak TO him, but
would not make another date with him
unless he had very good reason for
breaking the first one.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % | am
young girl. Until recently l have had
a boy friend who was dearer to me
than anyone else in the world. We had

SCRIPTURE
Psalms 37:1-9.

Fret not myself because of evil
doors, neither be thou envious against
the workers or iniQuity.
For they shall soon be cut down
like the grass. and wither as the green
herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so
shalt thou dwell in the land, and YER
lily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord !;
and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord !;
trust also in him; and He shall bring
it to pass.
And He shall bring forth thy right
eousness as the light, and thy judg-
ment as the MONDAY.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently
for Him; fret not myself because OF
him who prospereth in his way, be-
cause Of the man who bringeth wick
ed devices to pass.
Cease from anger, and forsake
wrath: fret not myself in any wise
10 do evil.
For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the Lord. they
shall inherit the earth.
