THE CHILDREN AND THE TIMES

The boys and girls of today are not
like they used to be In our day and
time. Sometimes Il Is said in their
praise, nearly always in condemna-
ton. But of all people to pass such
an ~unfavorable judgment we should
be the least Trustworthy.
The old saving holds, In effect, that
no man Is accepted as a fair judge
when deciding in his own case, And
Furthermore if a blame is to- be fixed,
how many will seriously consider the
fact that we ourselves, the grown
folks and not the children, are respon-
sible for every present condition
which tends toward the corruption OF
good manners.
Who are responsible In parentage
and training for the boys n girls
of TODAY but the boys and girls OF the
times we love to praise? And who
was II that encouraged, tolerated and
built up the press till II became so
proficient a purveyor of crime, who
gave license to THE movies" to show
indecenies, who set stately dance to
the l~ascivious OF Jazz, who
suffered the old fashioned home to be
turned into a boarding house?
Surely no one will blame the chill
dren for all these evils that have come
upon us. Truly the boys and girls are
different than in our time because we
ourselves have changed the times en-
tireIy. To expect the children to re-
main unchanged in the environments
and associations we have placed
would be to expect miracles. They
are Just coming out on the worlds
great stage with all its settings chang
ed. So the question really resolves
itself to this: Will they In their time
play their part as we'll as we played
ours? To doubt the outcome would be
presumptuous.
II was a wise bit OF philosophizine
when Shakespeare said. Every time
IA suficient for the matter born in It,
Thingn always have a definite way o.
adjusting themselves in spite of al
our discouraging forecasts. III tns
devil works overtime devising new
ways to see whom he may devour, res
assured that God and his angels ar
no less active to protect and save
Against every temptation to sin Their
Is an overbalance OF grace always a
mans disposal.
III in our day and time we did no
thave the convenient means of know
ledge through the schools and tn
lready means OF grace through tn
Iearly and frequent reception of tn
iSacramenG perhaps 1t was all be
lcause sufficient for the day were tn
limited benefits We enjoyed. Thos
twho are always envying the advan

these same youngsters must face.
