They started for the theater to see that

came back upon them.. They felt it was
not right to go, but still they went.
They came to the door of the theater.
One of the young men stopped and start-

to the door, but had not the courage to
go in. He again started for home and
went home. The other young man went
in. He went from one degree of tempta-

of frivolity and sin, he sank lower andchorale
lower. He lost. his business position: he
lost his morals; he lost his soul; he died
