These are the white lies of physiology. In regard to each of these, the young man must count the cost. Count all the cost and be prepared to pay. The song of Ulrich von Huetten, when he gave his life for religious freedom, is worth applying to all other costly things. He sang: "'Ich habe gewagt mit Sinnen Und trage des noch kein Reu." "With open eyes have I dared it, and cherish no regret."
