Commandment states

our Lord makes it clear, in •
.speaking on'°the subject that the
lustful thought or look are 'in-
volved in this commandment.
For this individual and
national problem, the Christian
' has an. answer and it is not
found in the standards of the
world but in' the Bible itself*
The best course on' sex
education in the world. is to be
found in the pages of Scripture.
Here we find the subject
treated in. a completely out-
spoken and uninhibited man-
ner. That which is good and
that Which is .evil in connection
with sex is made abundantly
clear.
In .the Bible sex is treated in
its,wholesomeness, while at *the
.same time its abuse, is handled
without gloves.
v I am perfectly aware of the`
,large and long limb I am•'clim-
bing ouf on, but I am convinced
that `the solution' to our sex
problems is not to be found in
our present biological and
social approach. Only as God is
recognized and honoured as the
source' arid arbiter •of moral
law, will people, young and old
look al sex in itsiright perspec-
tive': This responsibility lies not
only at the door of the
Christian church 'hut also in-
cludes parental responsibility.
As parents. we are concerned
about the bodily welfare of our,
children—and rightly so—but
moral and Spiritual instruction
is also vital. and should' not' be
neglected.
