REVERENCE

THE writer recently visited the
L tomb of n of u noted states
men. Upon entering the Enclosure,
the reverential attitude Of mind was
clearly observable as the majority
of those present, with uncovered
heads, paid their respects to the men,
DRY of a martyred President. In this
same group, however, were some five
or six men who spent the time idly,
talking and amusing themselves with
jesting remarks. This incident is IL
Illustrative Of a general lack Of rev.
erence which is one Of the sad be-
quests Of our m~aterialistic age. There
Is a letting go" of this fundamental
principle re%verential attitude to-
ward sacred things. OF course, a rev.
erential attitude of mind at a circus
would be sacreligious. Not less hui
NOR but more of it. But, the failure to
cultivate that attitude Of mind which
regards seriously the more sacred re-
alities of life is a serious and increas~
ing menace Regard for reverence is
the key to success and contentment,
the absence of it is the explanation Of
many failures. Reverence for truth
makes the scholar. Reverence for
home protects the family. Reverence
for truth makes men honest. Rever-
ence for sincerity enables men to
trust their fellow men. Reverence for
the beautiful inspires the soul. Only
a reverent scientist can say, "An
undevout astronomer is mad" Stu
dents reading Agassiz' lectures after
the death Of the great scientist found
this sentence; and placed the words
upon the walls Of the lecture room;
"A laboratory Is a sanctuary which
nothing profane should enter"
A most important attitude Of mind
Is reverence for personality. 1t would
seem that human life Is very cheap at
times. More murders were commit
ted in the United States last year than
in any other country In the world. A
diseased mind plans a bank robbery
and shoots down the person who
stands in his way. A person is killed
in a fit Of passion and the defense is
insanity. Last year the total loss of
life due to accidents was about 10000
almost $50 a day. Men and women
are daily being bought and sold.
Economic, financial and social slav-
cry! What value do we place upon
a human life? How much reverence
have we for personality?

monotone chiffons, especially black,
sans sleeves is the general rule.
