Our Young People
Youth comes but once in a lifetime, as Longfellow -saith. And the complexion of. the later lifetime is largely aetermined by that of youth. Hence.Jhe necessity _to mould and train and shape it and color its thoughts aright.' ' Young men and women ', says Dr. Dunlop in last week's ' Outlook ', ' deeply appreciate interest shown in them individually. Over "and above the work of clubs, guilds, etc., he adds, the clergyman ' should -try to c.ullivate friendly intimncy with the young men of his congregation and district. Nothing quite takes the place of personal contact.^ To convince them of your genuine friendliness is to get a splendid hold on them for spiritual purposes. When a young fellow has got so far as to say that " you are a white man ", it is a sign that you have won his confidence. -Nothing pays so well as intercourse with the young men ;, directly and indirectly you can influence them most powerfully in this way.'
