The Bishop spoke of the benefit
derived from the ssimpler life ofthose
earlier days. He feared for the, rising
:generation, , he said,. in 'a; world tiled
with -machinery, radios, ears, and so
an, which kept them from associatibn
with liVing thinge., He was not sur-
prised there was talk of "a new order,"
The things the young people do and say
were of enormous importance; their
lives were brthe making, the old were
pasr t,h4aging.. He -wondered what was
to happen, in the days" to come, and he
urged that a sense of responsibility- be
cultivatecieby the yolin,g people. How
enormouslyejmportant it was that, in
these d,ays when Christian peoples had
been forced into war with, a pagan
enemy, the young people should realize
what a great debt they Owed to the
•Ohristian faith and the Christian
•church.
