RELIGIOUS FUTILITIES.
“Tile trouble is that the compilers of liturgies are old men and have the point of view of those disengaging themselves IVonf life not of those entering upon its adventurous enterprise. Those liturgies do not cater for the young, llow can we expect the young who are avid for life, eager to taste all its experiences, to join in the petition of disillusion and the wail of weariness. Fiercest of all criticism is that silent criticism effectuated by the young turning their hacks in large numbers to-day upon the churches of their fathers and mothers. And the church which youth abandons is doomed. Their instinct is right. The spirit of a. modern religious service should I be in accord with tile courage and good humour and the idealism of youth.”—The Lev. J. Tys.su 1 Davis, 8.A., in the “Inquirer.”
