C. Jung, internation­ ally famous psychologist, in his book, “Clear Horizons” asks why it is that so many people, in later middle" life, become sat­ iated—literally fed up with life, until all zest for living has gone. Young people don’t feel that way; they are keen and eager but no one can help seeing that, for multitudes this relish and enjoyment pass and are often followed by\ cynicism and dis­ appointment/ People do get low in spirits and early enthusiams die down or fade away alto­ gether. One day the great English novelist, Arnold Bennett, was sitting in a London restaurant in London when hp saw air old ugly, grotesque-looking woman come in and sit down nearby. The sight of her excited amuse­ ment among other customers, amusement not untinged with ridicule. As Bennett watched her and took in the situation, he reminded himself that she had probably once been a young and attractive girl, with charm in and lie question: into and movement, himself the that comes which so complete- them being an object of forces. God redeems life, by His grace, from cynicism and des­ pair, When George MacDonald, the novelist, was asked if he believed that man had a soul, he replied, “I , do not care to put it in that way. What I would say is, man is a soul and has a body.” Our quotation today is by Mal- tie Babcock: “Present suffering is not enjoyable but life would be worth little without it.

School Board Discusses Cadet form asked What is people’s lives ly changes attractive to ridicule? That led to his writing one of the greatest novels of modern times, ‘Old Wives’ Tale.’ It is one of the sad things of life that so many who started out with high endeavors lose interest in the things about which they were once enthus­ iastic. The cup which was filled to overflowing has failed or has even become a drought of bitter­ ness. When a modern writer says, “After a certain age there is nothing left but the pleasures of the table,” we know he is simply repeating what a appointed man said thirty uries ago: “Let us eat drink for tomorrow we That was a true saying of taigne, “Old=- age set wrihkles on the spirit than on the face,” The writer of the Ninety-first Psalm had in mind a picture, which, fortunately, is not very familiar to us now. He was thinking of how the intense heat of his oriental land beat down with cruel and pitiless force, withering the vegetation and blighting that which had recent­ ly seemed fresh and promising. It is not to be wondered at that, when he recited the blessings that God brings to the believing heart, he thought especially of this one; God Avill sheltei' from “the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” He will provide a cool and satisfying retreat; “He shall cover thee with his feath­ ers and ’ under his wings shalt thou trust.” Many of the passages of Scripture abound with a glow­ ing optimism which has its roots in the idea that God sustains and refreshes the spirit of man. “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shalt not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be shall walk and not Dr. Jung writes scientist but this is to say aftei4 more years close observation: my patients in the second half of life—that is past thirty-five years of age—there has not been one whose problem in the last resort has not been that of finding Ute, It one of or she living have given to their followers, and not one of them has been really healed who did not regain his religious outlook,” There can be. no defeat of the truly religious.
