"Enter Not into Temptation"

"THE boy who smokes the cigaret, or loafs on the corner, or participates in vile stories," says Eugene C. Foster, in the Sunday School Times, "is just entering. Safety lies on the outside, but his foot is across the door-sill. A boy got into trouble recently, and came to see me. I said, 'Would you have done this thing six months ago?' He said, 'No, I would not.' 'Why wouldn't you?' I asked. He hung his head, and then admitted that the intervening six months had carried him deeper and deeper into the tobacco habit, and the loafing habit, and the vile-story habit; he had 'entered;' any sin was possible now."
