Youth is the sowing time

"Youth is the sowing time. It determines the character of the harvest.....The appetites and passions must be held in subjection to the higher powers of the mind..... For this reason temperance finds its place in the work of preperation for Christ's secomd coming."Desire of Ages p.101 E.G.W.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
