Young people in this country are very
apt to think that the world and its
pleasures belong to them alone, that the
outlook for older people is colorless and
nninteresting, and that, at the best, they
can only enjoy life vicariously through
their children. This is, however, by no
means the case; the sense of enjoyment
is as keen, in most instances, at fifty as
at twenty-five, and vastly more appre-
ciative. To be sure, that which would
constitute the pleasures of one age would
not be exactly the kind which would suit
another.

Young people are really too full of
themselves to enjoy thoroughly an alb.
stract idea, too trimming over with
their own personality to enter entirely
into the spirit of art, music or the mystic
beauty of nature. Only those who have
learned that .sfesh and blood cannot in
herit the kingdom" can feel the keen in
tellectual enjoyment that is warped by
no personal bias, no restless self seeking;
and whatever may be the glory of youth,
to it is not given the fuller and higher
appreciation that only comes with ma
turer years.-New York Tribune.

it is that BY working together in this
