Fear of Growin

Old

By DR. G. ERNEST THOMAS OMETIMES the signs of growing old are the cause of the most inténse fears an individual can experience. He may have accepted economic crisis or personal disaster bravely, but he feels helpless before the relentless advance of time and the consciousness that the physical powers of which he was so proud are beginning to fail.

The fear of growing old is

part of ' the resistance

bf the life of most of us. But

the latter half of life can be in meaning

richer and fuller and happiness than the first

if we gain the right perspective and the right approach is made.

LET US examine the quali- | ties and personality traits which can remove the fear of

growing old. : First, learn not to become ir-

ritated by little things. Young

people are seldom troubled by this trait. They are not so set in their ways as “to make it impossible for them to change their plans when necessary. One of the first and surest

signs of old age is the tendency |

‘to. become irritated because little things are not exactly as you want them, When a man begins’ to fume afd to fret because his slippers re not where he eXpects to fi'rd them, or

when a woman, watching her:

daughter-in-law give the baby

a sun bath’ begins to criticize,

saying, “We never did it that way,” it is evident that they are growing old. ;

"4 8% / THE ®truggle against the tendéncy to allow minor irritations to make life miserable must be made by everybody, whether young or old. But the

older person . has. the = bigger. as is “victory in

fight to win, ’ this, however, will do a great deal youthful spirit.

Next, keep alive an eager-

ness for new knowledge and experience. Many people are old before they are 40 be-

cause they have stopped learn-.

ing. They have the mistaken idea that their education was completed with high school or college. Since then they hawe read -Ifttle or nothing except a newspaper or the current magazines. I called to see a man in his late seventies who told me he fe specializing on Africa this year. He has read.the life of David Livingstone, the books of Osa Johnson, Alan Paton’s “Cry the Beloved Country,” and other books which deal with Professor to Speak

Editor's Note: In his work of

Ernest Thomas, Th.DD., has en-

countered all the predominant fears which beset the modern world, Director of Spiritual Life for the Methodist Church, he has found ways to utilize faith as a vital human treatment for those living in fear. This is the last of six articles faken from his new book, “Faith Can Master Fear,” just published by Fleming H. Revell Co.

The transition from youth to age is accomplished when this spirit of hopeful anticipation changes first to calm. acceptance of prevailing conditions, then to the constant assertion that the world is going to pieces. Older people are naturally and properly more conservative, but the constant wailing that life was better in the yesterday has almost always proved a myth For as long a time as men ‘have lived on the earth some of the older generation have thought the world was dying In their day, With a fading confidence in civilization many also lost faith in human beings. They become “convinced that the youth of today are evil in mind and without worthy purposes to guide them, . They are cértain that
