H tM» 20th century is a bad one, what abowt the first? At i that time there was certainly bad example in high places, considering that Nero was the emperor and that many persons actually worshipped! that cruel : scoundrel as a god. Gambling was done by the "best” people all over the Empire*: liquor was even more a part of "hign M society than it is today; as for divorce and marriage, "the Roman record was worse than ours; as for\cducai tion. most young people dichst get it. and most of those that did found themselves fitted for only one occupation: politics. The Christian Church was in a far smaller minority than today. \'• • . The Right Friends quyET it was in that bad century * that some of the most famous Christian saints and heroes lived. Timothy, Paul’s young under Study, was such a man. He had everything against him, but Paul thought well of him, and Paul’s standards were, extraordinarily high. His life (pr what we know of it from the Scripture references to him) had many qualities worth studying. ♦ Let us look at two of the causes 1 for this young man’s high character. One was the quality of his ■ friends. He seems to have been the ; sort of boy who might have gone down fast if he had taken pp with the wrong crowd; but a list of his friends as we know them is a list of strong, original, true-blue Christians. He literally knew the best people, not "best" by standards of Roman society but best in the scale of trCe manhood. We have a hint, tea, tort kis mother bad something io de , with this. She "steered" toe boy '| to the right crowd, one suspects —and that was enough. One of the best things parents can do for their children is to see to it that they run into the right kind ot people. This does not necessarily mean the richest or the best educated, but the people with the best? kind of character. Youth, will grow to be like the older people it most admires: and admiration grows with acquaintance. Tell me who a boy’s friends are and I can forecast his, i future. I . ■ ,- r * • • ; i Self Control *pHE other reason for Timothy’s ■ * character Came from inside: self-discipline, self-control. Followers of these lessons may wonder why "temperance” has to> f be dragged in every onCe In so oftenr It’s not dragged in; we just dare not dodge it. Temperance just means sdlf-control. in general.. In particular, one of the drugs-*by an odds the most popular drug—that tends td make the users lose seif-coi)troj,| is alcohol. As the proverb has it: First the map takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, and then the drink takes the man. Ip; 1 Young people get more than enough urging to bovome alcoholics. One of toe best things . one can do for younger friends Is to awaken them to the real facts and dangers of aH ate*. | hollc beverages.

RPR Lutherans Believe I 1 ia o>e Sinfulness Os Man At the turn of the century, mod«m religionists had discarded the Bible teaching that all men are inherently sinful. Men kre inherentI ly good, they said. Fifty years of global strife, hate, and murder have nerved to underline the simple Bible truth that the human heart is "desperately wicked.” tt was Christ Himself who raid, "Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” And it wan Christ Himself who said: "That which is born of flesh la flesh. . . . Except a man be bom again, he cannot nee the Kingdom of God.” I. Basing its belief on the Bible, the Lutheran Church has always taught the total depravity of natural man and the absolute necessity of the second birth. AU men, it says, are sinners; and all men are in need of the redemption which was bought by the death of Jesus Christ. /The Bible leaves no one in the dark on this question. "All have sinned,ft says, "being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption , that is in Christ Jesus." J Lutheran Chureh makes no bones about ft. it teaches the Bible doctrine of the sinfulness of man—every man-—and the redemption that comes alone through Christ.
