Remember that in your life, religion is not<br />

merely one influence among others; it is <strong>to</strong> be an<br />

influence dominating all others. Be strictly<br />

temperate. Resist every temptation. Make no<br />

concessions <strong>to</strong> the wily foe. Listen not <strong>to</strong> the<br />

suggestions that he puts in<strong>to</strong> the mouths of men<br />

<strong>and</strong> women. You have a vic<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong> win. You have<br />

nobility of character <strong>to</strong> gain. ...<br />

Jesus loves you. ... His great heart of infinite<br />

tenderness yearns over you. ... You may st<strong>and</strong><br />

where you regard yourself, not as a failure, but as a<br />

conqueror, in <strong>and</strong> through the uplifting influence of<br />

the Spirit of God. Take hold of the h<strong>and</strong> of Christ,<br />

<strong>and</strong> do not let it go.<br />

You may be a great blessing <strong>to</strong> others if you<br />

will give yourself unreservedly <strong>to</strong> the Lord’s<br />

service. Power from on high will be given you if<br />

you will take your position on the Lord’s side.<br />

Through Christ you can escape the corruption that<br />

is in the world through lust, <strong>and</strong> be a noble<br />
