Youth follows The same pattern
Of behavior OF adults. We all
learn BY precepts and examples.
Adults have become loose in
standards Of conduct and living
and have lost their effectiveness

Juvenile Delinquency On Increase

with sections. I nth recer'iy ths
increase was among girls but
today there is rapid increase o,
juvenile delinquency amoug boYa
For The most part Juvenile Do
linquency starts with parents 10
the home At the present tine
little can he done in home circles;
mon arc in The army and women
are in factories. while youth Is
left at home without any super.
vision. AS women are released
from war effort work Il should
be their vital concern 10 return
TO their homes and live The life
Of real mothers with their chill
ereu. They need proper super
vision and good attention.
There are also those among rs
Who have no sense 81 duty and
responsibility in the community
They are not careful ~ The e1-
amples they set and the kind o.
influence they exert on youth
Youth delight in following eH-
amplcs set forth by older per-
sons and adults
Another aspect or the problem
Of delinquency Is that Of movies
NOT enoueh care is given in So
lection or censorinc ~ pictures
There are those pictures that
youth should not see Very o.ten
Youth sees eangster pictures.
Tho heroes In these picture are
their idols Sometime they cannot
get from the theaters fast enough
so that they can begin 10 act the
leros part. Attitudes are built
IN this way.
In planning concerted Pro-
gram that will combat juvenile
delinquency change must take
flace in society and types Of
community programs The fad
is We'll taken that juvenile delin-
qucncy is very active In SUM
areas and among families OF low
educational and financial status
Tho minds OF youth work IKE
sponges They absorb from Their
SURROUNDINGS. Good surroundings
produce good food for thouEn'
and action. There are few thins
that We can do:
l. Find out interests and hon
bies OF youth in your community.
2 Find out their attitudes Of
home. school and church
3 Build adequate recreationn
centers and have them centrally
located.
4. See that programs arc y"
tractive and well supervised.
g. Have well selected MOVIES
q. Set up educational and 'o'a'
iional Guidance clinics.
Z. Help youth become indepe"'
dent.
s. Use mild incentives Ts
ward deeds Of merit
.. Clear the community OF pla''
es OF ill-repute.
These suggestions cannot be 81
ecuted unless the total comnun.

Question-is heaven a real place or
mental or spiritual condition only?
Answer-Let the words of Christ
answer this question: Let not your
heart be troubled: We believed in God,
believe also in Me. In my Fathers
house are many mansions: if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I viii
come again, and receive you unto My
self; that where am, there we may ba
also" John 1913. Our Saviour callc
it a "place."
Q.-Does not Mark e:t mean that
some of those people are still alive
somewhere in the world?
A-First, let us read the text; "hf2J
He said unto them, Verify l say unto
you, That there be some of them that
stand here, which shall not taste OF
death, till they have seen the kingdom
of God come with power" The Legend
of the wandering Jew" who could
never die stemmed from such a view
of this and other texts. It is ell cleared
up by reading Luke 9:26-36. The trans
figuration was a representation o
Christ's coming in glory This 10
proved by 2 Peter 1:16-18-read t.
Moses ty1ified those who win be raig-i
from the dead at Christs coming, an,
Elijah those who viii be Translates.
