Those receiving Faith Diverts Our Children From Mental Live With Crutches" Uncertainty turmoil of todays life, for which all too many of our young from a sheltered, people emerge childhood, has resulted in an dependence " upon mental crutches", in the form of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, tranquilizers, etc. We have somehow produced a generation devoid of any values; unwilling or unable to cope with the real world and its responsibilities. In too many cases, the guiding hand of faith has been tragically absent. Begin now a family program of regular attendance at the Church of your choice, so that your children will enjoy a life filled with meaning and purpose. They will never then resort to "crutches", because their dependence on God for guidance, protection and happiness will eliminate any need for them. over-indulge- d ever-increasin- g d No boy who hopes to be successful in any line can afford to contract a habit that is so detrimental to his physical and moral development.

Young men, for example, are sometimes suddenly for military taken away from pursuing lifes preparation and older men are taken service or other circumstances from their families and professions, with much adjusting to their lives to altered plans and purposes. This we would say to all who face such uncertainties: Go ahead with your life, your plans, your preparation, as fully as you can. Dont waste time by stopping before the interruptions have started. Keep going forward, and keep your hearts comforted, with courage and faith in the future. The and you world will always need the people must not needlessly hold back or slow down the pace of preparation that is necessary for fullest effectiveness. Dont quit or slow down sooner than is absolutely essential. The wise keep learning, keep preparing for life, and dont let uncertainties dissuade them from moving forward. Even when interruptions come, whenever they come make the most of every time and opportunity. Wherever you are, you take your thoughts with you, you take yourself with you. Wherever you are, you can think; you can read, you can times for study, you can learn. You can use the profitable and constructive purposes. In idleness it is all too easy to become cynical, to become careless, and to fall into questionable conduct, for evil always offers itself. So wherever you go, keep intent on solid plans and purposes. Dont succumb to uncertainty and dont feel sorry for v ourself. No generation was ever sure it wouldnt be delayed or diverted from its plans and purposes. Few lives are lived without difficulties or disappointments. I lave faith, and justify the faith of others in you the faith of loved ones and of others also remembering wherever you are to be a gentleman, a man of honor. You take yourself with you, and you will want to be worthy to bring yourself back, and to be comfortable in good and beloved company. Keep faith with the Lord God who gave you life. Keep close to Him in humble prayerfulness, in clean conduct, and your heart will find peace in all assignments and circumstances. Build for the future. Go forward in faith. Dont let any period become a blank in your program of progress. Lift up your and that He is Hearts Be not afraid." Know that He IS mindful of you and will not leave you alone. Itichard L.
