In my far from ,humble apiniox ,
one of the surest suns of the degen-
eracy of :modern 'society is found
in the difference between the way
we treat our children, and the way
we treat our old folks.
* * ear
Throughout the history of man-
kind, until about twenty years ago,
children were treated with, the
casual fondness- of- family- pets.
they Were fed and clothed as well
as possible, kept as warm and clean
as possible, and taughtto mind
their manners. Nobody fussed
much with them, and they grew up
and took their places in life.
* * * *
Old people, on the other ,hand,
were treated with, great respect.

ment of .the young and old, during
the past coupla pf decades! ,Nowa-
days, for the first 16 years or so of
their lives, our children are treat-
ed with an, adulation that is not
only on the. vera of idolatry, but
is unparalleled to the course of
human history.

From the moment the average
Canadian baby decides to stop
clowning around and driving its
parents crazy, .and makes its entry
into the world, usually at some un-
eartthly hour, it is cosseted and
comforted, pampered and petted.
* * * *
It is welcolmed with an almost
religious ecstasy.' it has already
cost its foolish parents a small
fortune in bottle -warmer, 'bonnets,
baby beds, blanket);, bootees, and
bunnies on the new wallpaper in
Baby's Room.
* e t *
It has only to make one tiny,
goat -like bleat in the middle of the
night, and women with aching
backs, men with fallen arches, leap
wildly from their beds and panic
about in a state of asinine appease-
ment.
* * * *
As a baby, it is stuffed with
orange jyice, cod liver oil, milk
and other high-priced commodit-
ies that are fortified, vitaminized,
mineralized, and tlo everything
but taste good. As a result, we

stens, who are a foot taller'" than
their parents.
* * * *
'Not to'labour the point, this sort
of thing goes on for another fif-
teen year. Their way is smooth-
ed.. Nothing -is too • good for them
that money can buy or credit can
obtain. Parents ,week for them,
weep over them, worry about them,
and grow old prematurely, trying
to give them all the things they
._didn-t..have-.(and •-didn't •need) them-
sel,ves.
* * * *
They spend enough to buy a
Cadillac, and make a trip around
the world, on raising one child.
And the hilarious part is this:,
children are phe - one completely
useless thing in our society, which
is supposed to be the most ma,
terialistic in the history of the
human race.
* * * *
The only thing for which they
are any use is amusement. You
get a lot of laughs out of a kid,
no doubt of it. But monkeys are
amusing, too, and it's a lot cheaper
to see. them, and they're safely
behind bars. •
* * * *
Now, -,let's compare the way we
treat our old folks. To be blunt
about it, we' treat them : With the
same respect we have for- the used
car that gave us good service,' but
which we have just traded ° in: Out
of sight, -out of mind. •
* * * *
We haven't room for them, or
time for there, ,•or anything else
for them. We will 'go to ,,,infinite
pains to avdid being burdened by
ahem. With iron solicitude we herd
them into nursing homes, houses
of refuge- or lonely, rented rooms.
"They have the pension," we say
with guilty satisfaction.
*, *• *•
*
If, we took one-tenth of the af-
fection, the luxuries and the care
we 'lavish on our children, and
with which we are `spoiling them
rotten, and gave it to our old folks,
the- world --would- be---a--fot-better-
place for both, and we would be
a lot better people.

End of sermon. I will now say
the benediction, and you can give
your child a quarter for candy to
ruin his teeth, and send a desperate
wire to your mother, saying: "Sor-
ry, can't put you up as ,planned,
children have the 'flu."
