THE CHURCH AND THE YOUNG.
“To the old davs. if T am right ii# my recollection, there was Jlittle elfort In capture tin 1 interest ol the young for the Church, except by the fiundav school. Tt was considered enough if die loyally of the parents was secured. The attendance of the young would follow as a matter of course. All this has changed. The emphasis of our attention is on the young. They are claiming the right to think for themselves. And unless a minister can get; alongside them and lead them out through a. sympathy that takes time and trouble to understand, he will he of no use to them. They will no longer accept at any price ent-and-dried solutions delivered oracularly from a superior height, and no solutions at all of prolfems which are not their own.” —The Rev. James Reid.
