READERS’ VIEWS
I b ar Editor, I was interested in “Readers’ Views” in the February “White Ribbon” and as a president who has passed the fiftyfive mark some years ago, I would like to pass on the opinion of the late John Buchan, author of “Memory Holds the I )oor.”
“As we age, the mystery of time more and more dominates the mind. W e live less in the present, wdiich no longer has the solidity it had in youth, less in the future, for the future evenday narrows its span. The abiding things lie in the past . . . have no new theory of time to propound; but I would declare my belief that it preserves and quickens rather than destroys. An experience, especially in youth, is quickly overlaid by others, and is not at the moment fully comprehended. Time hurries it from us, but aKo keeps it in store, and it can interpret its meaning and enjoy its savour.” Yours sincerely, JESSIE HIETT.
