“Under what circumstances is it proper for young men and women to correspond with each other? Where not allowable, give reasons.” When a thorough acquaintance between a young man and woman has developed into that association which points to marriage, and when they must necessarily be separated, correspondence is right. Such correspondence should not, however, be considered too sacred to share with father and mother. Anything that can not be shared with a good parent is dangerous. If there is good reason for confidence between the young people who are drawn toward each other, and yet who have had no good opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted, a correspondence for the purpose of acquaintance is admissible, although not wholly safe. To correspond with more than one at a time has every appearance of evil, and is too often just as evil as it can appear to be. Correspondence, excepting as it leads up to marriage, should be for business only, as brief and formal as possible, and should stop short when its purpose has been served. A _religious_ correspondence between young men and women is one of Satan’s most fruitful and profane devices. “Should young ladies at school be permitted to receive calls from young men? If so, under what circumstances?” There should be connected with the young women’s home of every school a parlor, open and public to all at all times. In such an apartment young ladies in school should be able to receive calls, under proper chaperonage and advice from those who have them in charge. Promiscuous calling would be bad form, and dangerous to reputation. “Is it best for young men and young women to do missionary work for each other?” The only way in which they can do missionary work for each other is in each one making of him and herself the very best representative of everything that is best and truest in good manners, according to the divine model, and then leave the detail work for young men to men, and for young women to women. Any man who must be led to Christ by some woman, instead of some good, brotherly man, can never be saved. Any woman who can not be helped by some sister woman, or mother in Israel, can never be helped. “Is it proper for a company of young people to go out on a camping expedition for several days, even with a chaperon?”
