What The Right Care Of Youth Involres
An adult community in vigorous health always felt that there were some things which simply had to be handed on to t'he rising generation, said Rev. A. Salmond, speaking in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Levin, yesterday on the occasion of Young People's Day. A community which had nothing to hand on was really a community with nothing to live for. The right care of growing boys and girls involved far more than a sentimental regard for them which expressed itSelf in handing over to them expensive and elaborate mechanical toys and in'dulging '-them with sweets _and ice cream. . "Right care . involved taking steps to see to it that the* young enter freely into the "great spiritual heritage of a Christian community," continued Mr. Salmond. "That invoiyes service and Sacrifice without which nothing worthy can be achieved." It was evidence of the spirit of Christian service in the Church that 'the 1947 Blue Book showed that over 37,000 boys® and girls were , being taught voluntarily -by 3891 Sunday School teachers,- and over 11,000 older boys and girls in Bible Classes were being guided by 933 Bible ClaSs leaders. Christian faith still creafce'd men and womOn who were glad to serve the youhg by sharing spiritual experience Mth them, he concluded.
