1t Is a Great
a ASfOniShment

to everybody, now and then, to
hear of the breakdown of a man
or woman least expected to go
wrong. It is a common saying
that red-ripc, rotting apple
sometimes has a worm in it.
One can destroy the base of
his character and undermine it
by bad literature, unchaste pic
lures and by indulging impuri-
ties in his thoughts, even when
his lips do not utter an impure
word. At last the barriers are
broken down and the fall comes
and an apparently well-built
life and name topples over and
loses its way, to the everlasting
regret and sorrow of family
and friends.
