Some one has' given the advice to "grow old gracefully" but just when do we realize we are geowing old? Some one recently on being congrat- ulated on passing another mile stone said "I will really have to figure out just „how old I am. I know by the friends of my childhood whom I still meet from time to tine that I cannot isicluded among the Leung people but I certainly do not feel any older than I did years ago. My hair has turned grey. and, I caanot stand as much -hex:ening about as 1 psed to Hunker -1g that because we are older but I would not consider thee I am we know all' that is to be known and old". are willing and ready to thrust our them we are old and never have been young. It may be •true we cannot see that what they do is peeper. We have the idea which is probably right that some at least are wandering from the straight and narrow path, but would it not be better to try to keep their company and in some way after pray- er teed them to be followers a our Saviour. Let us make ourselves as pleasant to live with as possible. Some ene has said we CM "either be pests or blessings." The proportionate number of people over ea is rapidly growing. As we join that throng just what .is going Po be our attitude towards the 'world, ,Are we living in the past, are we ims patient with those about us; are we It rests entirely with ourselves rhether we allow the words "old age" M 'their true sense to be applied to Us or not. • There are times when people real- ize that they have left every middle age behind them and they look for - Ward to old age with some anxiety. Itenay be they have reason to. Pro- ;bably there is no one to care for them ' and they realize they cannot live alone. Thus it is with a •great deal of dread they think of the future in some home. It is to be feared that many times they wish they might leave this earth with all its anxieties behind 'them It is reported that doz- ens of persons have offered to ride to death with the atomic fleet of the 97 war ships that are scheduled, for a Pacific test this summer. The chief intelligence officer of the air fere° ,Vnit which wll be responsble for drop- ping these bombs' said all requests were being ignored. Other officers reported that some of these volunteers really wished to die. Life is actually a burden to many people and we have not to look far before we find'the cause. Those whe have given their lives to their Saviour advice upon all those with whom we come in contact -Whether they wish it or not. The story is told of a lady being entertained by an Indien leelY of high rank. She was so impressed by her charm and grace that she re- marked. "I think you are PerfeetlY bea utiful." Her hostess replied. "I ought to be, my dear, I am 74 years of age." Is that not a lessen to us all. As years pass by our resistance to things which are contrary to the :ways •of God should be accumulating. Speaking of the age of 60 we are at that age if it is God's will to spare us, just enter- ing years of usefulness. Veitor Hugo said at 60 years that he had first be- gun to live and Bisrnark said the first 70 years are the most impertant in life. It is stated regarding Gladstone that if he had died at 70 sears, luny half of his work would have remained undone. An aged minister who has jus eompleted sixty-seven yeers since his ordination and in whose life Christ has first place humbly replied upon being complimented on the marvell- ous work he had done, "There are many things I have left undone". As we look over our lives we can all truth fully make the same statement, but and have travelled along with Hun ta_ as we grow older we have more time rough the years. have the firm belief to think and to plan that we may live mid trust that no matter how lone a life, what is left of it,morekeep, they live or under what eircumstames ing With the Masters will.

Prominent'airiong these is Moses in the Old Testament and in the New Teeteinient We have Paul ready to give his life for the cause of Christ, looking back on the' good fight he with God's help .had waged and forward to the croln of life. Speaking of Bible Women we would receive a great deal of help and encouragement in reading the story of Naomi -and of Mary, the Mother of our •Saviour. Although We May grow old physic- ally yet it is net necessary to became aged in spirit. We are only as old as we feel and we ean allow our minds to dwell 011 being on in Years or we care asaire ourselves that we are keeping young. The noon tide of life has for Many passed into afternoon, then to twilight but for those who follow Christ it just brings us one defy( nearer to our Heavenly Home. That will (D V) be our final talk on this Series from. Babyhood to the great Beyond. As Old' age comes on we do without a doubt live in the days gone by and how we do thank Gad for the facility we have to recall the memories Of the past. Some of these may not be plea- sant but as we Oerimet 'undowhat has been done we do not need to dwell on them only in as far as we can profit by the experiences. There are plenty of happy memories which will help us to pass the time. Several friends were talking recently and one made the remark that there was a great deal of unkindness in the world. An- other replied "well I have lived a good many years and I have found very few instances in my life which were not kind"; If we have come in contact with any thing like that let us just forget it. It ,may be that the person who said or did something which die - us was not feeling well or was 'worried or anxious. Put it into the locked cell 0 our brain, turn the key on the door and recall it no more. At Chrietmae last year a patient was sent a box by the Women's Inst- itute to which she belonged some years ago. In it was a written quot- ation or a clipping for each day of the year signed by the friend Who contri- buted it. The pleasure that box gave to the patient can never be realized by the senders. When the daily mess nge was read the patient spent some time in mentally visiting in that home inaudibly talking with the difrerent members of the family and rejoic- ing in the friendship which prompted such a gift. As we grow older do not let us be- come wrapped up in our infirmities. We do not need to look far until we see someone who is much worse off than we are. Paul joyed in his in- firmity and if we look at sickness in the right waywe will realize that God has laid us aside for some purp- ose and as we think it over we can realize that God draws nearer to us. So it is -with those whom God has separated as old age was creeping on. It is indeed pathetic to see an elderin man or woman from whom God has taken a life partner. What a tragic thing it must be when Jesus Christ has not been a Companion in the Home and where there is no one on whom to lean for sal:Tele in time of bereavement! It is never 'too late to accept Christ as. our personal Sav- iour and oh, the joy which eonies to us when we give onrselves wholly to Han and ask Him, M walk by our side and guide usall the way.
