Sowed the Seeds.
There is a perfect barrage of abuse
against young people for the clothes
they wear, the things they say and
the deeds they do. But you have
sown in the wind and you are reap
ing the whirlwind.
During the war a young girl was
called patriotic if she danced with a
man she did not know nor had not
met. She was applauded if a kiss &C
companed the sale of liberty bond.
Do you wonder that she is not so de
mure as before the war?
1T may be an unspanked genera
ton we have on our hands today, but
it is in no sense the fault of the young
people When they were of a spank
able age their parents avoided its adj
ministration. Now you have the re-
suits of nonspanking.

the church. the fault is not with the
young people"
Church Never so Well Of.
Speaking of the prospects of the

said the church was never so well off.

filled with a better educated class OF
young men than we have ever had
