Those who would remain in the path of life must have no part with the ways that are vile. They must never enter into the path of the wicked; they must avoid it, pass it by. The only safe way is entire avoidance of the way of sin. Too many young men have the feeling that they must try sin for themselves. It has a fascination for them. They do not mean to go very far on its paths, but they want to have a little experience of it. They will not go into the shame and darkness in which so many have lost their souls; they will only step through the gate and walk about awhile amid the flowers and have a taste of the pleasures. Many young men talk thus about the drink habit. They do not mean to become drunkards-they scoff at the very thought. They will drink moderately, enjoying the pleasure and the stimulus, but will not let themselves be mastered. Yet such a course is always perilous. Few who thus enter the gate ever come trust him and seek his companionship. He wrote to him, telling him that he must not do it, that he was not fit to be a young person’s friend. It is not often that men with impure lives are so frank and honest as to warn the young away from companionship with them or confidence in them.
