Too Old to Learn.

How frequently is this answer returned,
when the question is asked. Why do you
not Iearn?' Comparatively young men say
they are too old to begin the study of some
subject in which they may have an interest
too old to learn. This is not the case
with men who have always kept up the
habit OF study. Men who have never suf-
feIed luIl in their efforts to learn some
thing new, are never too old to, learn.
Scarcely a day passes but something useful
is added to their store of knowledge. and they
control and direct their energies in every d.
rection TO that end. The reason for this is
plain enough. Learning is with them
habit, which they follow as much as any
other habit. very frequently almost involun-
tarily, and is intensified by time. There is
never all occasion for especial effort in get
ting up to the beginning point.
The great majority OF our youth cease
trying to learn when they leave school.
The books are slowed away. and they have
feeling of great relief not unmxed with
joy to think they are through with school
or college. as the case may be. and consider
their education finished. If they enter
business they expect some one to teach
them the details and management instead
of ascertaining it for themselves. Their
reading-if they read at all-is for amuse-
ment-not in the line of study. Such per-
sons soon get too old to study or to learn.
If in later years they feel the necessity for
study. they find it difficult to begin and are
apt to conclude they are too old. To Ger
tain extent our Chautauqua Circle fur
nshes fair illustration of this.
Reading for amusement and for no other
purpose is likely to result in evil rather than
oIO I, N;%
of studying. and reading with the definite
object in view of learning something useful.
If they do this and keep it up there is not
the slightest danger that they will ever see
the time that they are too old to learn.

Chapel Services.

Rev. Father Corcoran conducted the service. The
gospel read on this morning the parable Of the
marriage feast-Matthew xii, 1-1 The sermon
was an enlargement and explanation of the para
BILE. The reverend father said that the para BILE
was typical Of the world in its relation to the
Christian religion. Accustomed rs we to
Christianity il seems strange to us that the world
should have been blind to the teachings OF
