Stepping Out He was an old man, exactly seventy, who said to me recent­ ly: I’m stepping-out.” He saw my astonishment and hastened to add: “I am seventy and the firm I’ve worked for have a rule that seventy is the limit, so this is my last day at work; I’m step­ ping-out.” I have known that man for over thirty years and he was al­ ways the same; cheerful and friendly, t’hanges have come so gradually that I’ve hardly notic­ ed them. He has slowed up a little, doesn’t walk so erect and —- well, he pulls his thin hair across the surface of his dome. That is, he makes a little go a long way. Bless his heart, I'm beginning to do that myself, al­ though I know it’s a losing bat­ tle.

This has happened to most of the old people I know, and it is fairly general. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is that promise in the "^irst Psalmjk “His leaf also shall hot wither.” In nature the sweet greenness of early leaves, passes Into darker shades as summer comes, to be followed by the mellowness of autumn.
