MODERN LIFE
OBSTACLES TO SAFE PROGRESS
WELLINGTON, September 5
“Modern conditions present to the safe progress of youth two specially formidable rocks upon which millions of healthy promising young. lives are being' wrecked to-day,” said the Gov-ernor-General, Lord Bledisloe, in the course of an address at a Youth for Youth Campaign rally. “One ijs called sellf-indulgence ant'd the other scientific bewilderment. The first affects weak and shallow minds, particularly those for whom their homes have provided little or no spiritual anchorage. The other, which is more subtle in influence, impresses thoise of greater intellectual activity and more serious purpose, and consists of too-hasty conclusions, ba-ed upon purely scientific teaching or the reasoning of the scientific mind concentrated only oil material things, such a* come readily within the scope of our limited human understanding. >• >' > ■
“Spiritual food, for which youth is craving, oftSf without’ realising it, is best obtained from the Bible, th 6 bed of all books. Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth and He will ever be near you to guard yon against the perilous rocks of miscalled pleasure and miscalled scientific tiutb. Tn a procession which marked the opening of the Youth for Youth Campaign, a total of 2700 young people took part.
