What Sort of Young Man Is it
Safe to Marry"
That was the subject of the Sunday
night sermon of DR.. E. A. Robertson
OF the East Park NJ E Church.
Before an audiences composed mostly
ot young people. the pastor talked
straight from the shoulder.
There was never a time in the his
tory of the world when young men
exerted greater influence and occupied
higher positions than today DR.. Rob
ertson said. at is the age Of the
young man. They are to be found
at the head of our colleges, occupying
professors chairs. managers of high
finance, leaders in industrial and COM
mercial enterprises. Never was there
a time when there were more temp
tations for young men.
"It would seem that young men
take little time to think seriously and
properly appraise the really valuable
things of life We have never had more
capable young men than today. Gil
gantic tasks which a generation ago
seemed impossible are today being
worked out Dy pIllltll young HER
But Notwithstanding the great ca
pacities and achievements Of young
men today, 1t is one OF the most
startling and appalling facts that
never before has 1t been so difficult
for high minded, pure hearted.
cultured young women to find worthy
life companions. OF the many prac-
teal problems of young narriageable
women none is more vital for their
happiness or wretchedness than the
matter OF selecting their husband.
Desires Plain Talk
on Subject of Husbands
80 we desire to have a plain talk
with our young ladies on the timely
matter OF what sort of young man
is 1t safe to marry.
81. We admonish you not to marry
a young woman with a short or lin
tied acquaintance. Make inquiry
about his family, their moral and SO
cial standing. Ask yourself how does
he treat his parents. his sister and
his neighbour
"2. Do rot marry a young man ex-
pectihg to reform him. Il his par
ents and teachers and best friends
have failed. and he declines to let God
make him over. his lady friend better
not undertake such a task. 1t has
been tried. time without number. and
usually fails.
80. Never marry one whom you do
not love inteuigently BE sure your
love is well grounded on genuine re
spect and esteem. What are his out
standing qualifications which chal-
lenges your admiration Young WON
en- should not be carried away with a
puppy loe, a passing fancy. a roman
tie thrill a mere sensual fascination.
BE Sure TO Respect
Noble WOmanhOOd.
"a Never marry a young man who
does not respect womanhood Such
a one is unsafe. A boy devoid of
proper respect for young lady shows
a moral delinquency not favorable to
real manhood.
80. Re cautious in considering
young man whom other men, women
and children do not like. There are
usually reasons for such dislike.
80 Watch out for the young man
who IS an egotlst. One who is stuck
on himself
az. Positively decline 10 give en-
coura cement to a young man who
cannot support you. No young man
Is in a position to propose marriage
who has no substantial means OF sup
port. Young meme who scarcely are
making ends meet for themselves /
should not take the great peril Of
supporting another.
Warns No Girl
to Marry a Crouch
80. A vivacious, educated enter
tanning girl doesn't want a young
man with no sense Of humor What
does she want with a crouch? Who
wants to live with an old bear?
80. We admonish every respecting
young woman to leave severely alone
any young man who has led a fast
life.
10 Last, and Of chief Importance, /
marry the young man of religious life, /
not an empty professor Of religion. |
One whose habits are clean, whose
character is right, whose associates
arc high class and whose moral stand. |
ards and ideals are high Who bears |
a good reputation for courtesy. good
