Youth Learns Two Worlds Of Experience
"Give me the portion of the goods that falleth to me" and "Make me as one of thy hired servants" were uttered by the same person, but they belonge'd to two different worlds of experience," said Rev. A. iSalmond in St. Andrew's Presbytexian. Church yesterday. "Before he left home the son did not want his father's character or abilities. He wanted only the wherewithall to buy pleasures and amusements for himself. The attitude to life his plea indicated. wa? what am I getting out of it? It was not until he had had experience of a land of selfishness and hunger that he came to a different mind,"and an entirely different attitude to life. He came to recognise that what a man with Goa's help makes of himself is more important than what realisable assets he can spend pin himself. "'There are some lessons that are worth learning pyep at the cost qf harshest experience, and that is one of them," concluded the preacher."
