Show Youth Ever Ready and Eager to Accept a Real Religious Message By DR. ALFRED E. STEARNS, Principal Phillips Academy. Traditional beliefs and old stock phrases have no power over youth, but a real religious message, interpreted in the language of the day, will he received. My pride in youth increases constantly when I see how manfully man-fully they are withstanding the dastardly assault on their finest instincts which is being made constantly by obscene literature, loose stage and movies, and exponents of free-thought philosophy. And the home is not entirely blameless. It is no longer the fashiot. to give religious instruction in the home, and the universities and col leges shy at the religious issue. The church is still hiding behind man made creeds and moss-covered dognas whieh offer nothing to youth in i :.ew scientific world in which we live. |
