TURNING BACK
THE CLOCK
by Brice BeIden, M. d..

by Rrice BeIden, M. d..
"A ssoCfATION with the young
IN is one of the effective ways
of turning the clock back.
Such sympathetic association with
young people is an exceedingly
valuable recipe for the preserva-
ton of usefulness in the middle
aged. One must make oneself a
factor in the social activities of
the young in particular.
The home should be made the
rendezvous for young peoples To
make this possible one is obliged
to keep the mind alert and active.
Unless the mind is in harmony
with modern events there will be
no success In effecting an asso-
citation with the young. It is
this use of the mind which con-
stitutes a most helpful exercise
in the case of the middle-aged.
The warm and friendly feeling
toward the young thus mani
tested must be sincere. There
must also be genuine tolerance
toward the inconsistent actions Of
the young. The cultivation Of
such reactions has a markedly
hygienic effect with respect to
such things as the blood pressure.
If one gets into the habit of
antagonizing the young and wor-
rying about their conduct and
views there will be definitely un-
desirable physical results. The
young must be accepted as they
are and older folks must tune
In with them or take the conse.
quences, which. from a medical
standpoint, are bad.
Then there will be no danger
CT mourning the amusement and
perhaps ridicule of those who are
sure to note unbecoming garb,
which experience also provokes
unhealthful emotional reactions.
1t may be stated as a law that
those who give lavishly in affec-
ton and helpfulness seem to be-
come richer In health and vital
ity. This explains the grandmoth-
ers who take on new youth in
connection with the care which
they bestow upon the very young

A NEW SUNDAY

BY VIM. A. McKeever-

:" HE compilers Of the Sun
day school lessons for the
growing generation have
recently broken with age-old Gus
tom and have succeeded in Civ.
ing the study program a fresh.
modern appeal that is already
contributing to q greatly in
creased attendance.
The current lesson topics upon
the theme of great men and
women Of the Old and New Tes-
taments are arousing widespread
and favorable comment.
1t Is the human interest touch
given to the Bible study which
is perhaps the chief factor in
the new awakening. Not only
are great personalities Of the an
Gent past brought before the
students to be examined in terms
of human nature today, but the
deep and permanent things in the
common life of all are held up
for appraisal.
So 1t may be said in truth
that our methods in day school
and Sunday school may at times
become stale and out-of-date, but
young human nature remains
. ever the same-fresh with inter.
est, hungry for truth, eager for
action. ..
Put living dramatic action into
any kind of lesson; make it pull
safe with the eternal human
sympathies and emotions, and
the children will take it up with
zeal.
