“CAPPED AGE AND YOUTH.”
“Always, as long as I can remember, there has betii a dispute and invidious comparisons between the old and tho young. The young find the old prey upon and restrain them and tho old find the young shallow, disappointing and aimless in vivid contrast to their own revised memories of their own. early days. The present time is one in which these perennial accusations flower with exceptional vigour. But there does seem to he some truth iii the statement that the facilities to live frivolously are greater now than they have ever been for old and young folk alike. In the great communities that emerge from Christendom there is a widespread disposition to regard Sunday as merely a holiday. But that was certainly not the original intention of Sunday. As we have noted already in an early chapter, it was a day dedicated to tho greater issues of life. Nov great multitudes of people do not even pretend to set aside liny time at ali to the greater issues of life. The churches are neglected and nothing of a unifying or exalting sort takes their place,”—Mr FT. G. Wells.
