Foreword
The power of example can never be ignored, whether the subject be ancient or
modern, sacred or profane. The great Master Teacher filled His soul-stirring
lessons with examples, many of which He drew from the most familiar things
around Him. The apostles likewise were skilled in the art of illustrating. After
showing the tragic end of some rebellious Jews, Paul then added, "Now these things
were our examples . . . ." (1 Cor. 10:6.)
The lessons in this booklet are built around examples—examples of young people,
some of whom were wise and some of whom were foolish. On the one hand, we
see the successes of those who walked with God; on the other hand, we see the
failures, even tragedies, of those who tried to direct their own steps.
You will find some appropriate songs suggested at the beginning of each lesson.
Others may be added. Have a Bible reading and a prayer, all of which will make
the lessons more meaningful.
This is your class. Keep it alive and interesting by preparing well for each
meeting and entering enthusiastically into the class discussions.
