DR. HUGHES MAKES VERY FINE ADDRESS

I
(Continued from Page 1) “We think our fathers fools, so w -o we grow, No doubt our wiser sons will think
us so.”
Let us change the poetry and the
I meaning even to reversing them by ! putting the lines thus: “We think our children wild, so tame we grow, No doubt our wiser fathers thought
us so.”
Neither couplet stands for f he right attitude. Few things can be so ] important that the immediately ' cI ceeding generation shall face eacli ! other with sympathy and understandj ing. The older people represent the | young people chance to lay hold upon the inheritance of the past; the younger people represent the older people’s only way of sending treasure down into the future of the world. It would be the climax of folly for us all to quarrel with the only opportunities we can have. You will see at once that this statement of the case locates the place of
for you; under creditor put all the big things you can think of—that you have done for the race. Add your columns and strike your balance! Immediately we will have to call a meeting of your creditors and declare ourselves in bankruptcy. When we consider all this, we may well wonder whether we shall ever be able to pay our debts. To every generation the word of Christ has meaning —T sent you to heap that whereon ye bestowed no labor, other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.” The charge is that the new generation does not see this obligation. It aims to serve itself—especially in frivolity. But here again we are not always fair to youth. The temptation is to bring a seventy year old standard to bear upon a seventeen year old hoy which makes for a fifty-three vear maladjustment. Just now we are having a peculiar illustration of this fact. We have had much criticism of a song whose jerky and lilting measures have made appeal to the young. It i? ever said that a college youth here, on being asked what was the Italian Hymn,” replied “Yes, we have no bananas.” That song is said to have brought its two authors $00,000 in royalties within three months after it’s publication. It s music does not make you think of Mendelssohn or Handel, its poetry does not remind you of Lowell’s i “Crisis”. Older men, grown prejudic-
reconciliation in character as it re-|~ jn their jui ,g me nts, cite the song lates to service. The fashions change ; ^ a tokeri of youthful degeneracy. Carlyle and Sorton Resortus to the | After al , ( hflW very easy it is to for-

contrary, clothes are not always sure symbols. As between banged hair. and bobbed hair, who will waver? As [ between hoop skirts, which allowed j not more than four baloon-like ladies in a room at one time, and the walking skirts that permit female pedestrians to pass each other on the average sidewalk without a disaster in : wires—who will hesitate ? On the [ maculine side one of my waggish | friends gave three periods in the hisi tory of his college, the no collar per- | iod, the paper collar period, and the e * t . ^ | linen collar period. There have been periods from another standpoint, the tight trousers period, the wide- trouser period, and the creased trousef period! Matthew Simpson, our first president .arrived on this campus ! clad in blue jeans; President Grose arrived in different habiliments! But, before God, the two men in their con- ] trasting clothes and generations were both servants of the most high and I both mediated toward splendid fu-
Bank, LittleMoses in the Pool,” and so forward about fishing with telegraph poles, and ending with the scene of a bull-dog saucing a helpless little bull-frog! As between that song and “Bananas,” the most of us will be compelled to choose the latter, frankly, I do not know of anything
the more superficial
evidences of life, or among the deeper tokens, that would indicate that the present gereration was more careless of its obligation than was our own. But grantine that it be so where lies the responsibility? Who made the new generation ? Did it spring from no where, uninfluenced by nobody?
It is not our own product ?
Beyond this, we should remember that the young people of today have been hurled into the most tempting
world is flooded by pleasure. ITie ••- cret of Offerus who became Chrietofferus and then St, Christopher because he carried over the rising rieer the burden of the Christ child who became the Christ-Man remains forever true. His growing burden kept him from being swept away in the increasing floods. It is ever so. The stagnant pool is the one that seeks no outlet .while its companion keeps its sparkle because it connects an outlet of life and makes its circle of service to its own salvation. W e have no need to worry about these graduates and their youthful companions all over the land if only they will give themselves purposefully to the service of God and his children.

remain the same. If we may call an alliteration of sound to help your memories, we will call them, Relation, Obligation and Exaltation. The matter of Relation is subtle j thing easily felt but not so easily stated in words. A celebrated Harvard professor has written a book whose contention is that the center of character is loyalty. There is much to be said for the claim whenever established a relation. He al- , ways established with it a responsi- ! bility. You are a citizen of a town, j a state, a nation, then you have three j responsibilities. You are a husband, a father, a son, then you have three more responsibilities. You become related to a college; you have one more responsibility. There is here no ! exception . The law sweeps from the | most magnificient relation up to our j relation with God Himself. It is | charged that our young people are * putting aside that law and are asI serting a false independence, as if indeed the above quotation should apply
to each of them.
“I lived for myself, I thought for my-
self
For myself and none beside; Just as if Jesus hail never lived, As if He had never died.” But are there not general and individual evidences that this indictment effort may be criminally overdone. In the best known poems of the war, Mrs. Lette represents the Oxford boys as giving their “merry youths” away— “For country and for God” They did that everywhere—not only at Oxford, but in all our institutions. Recently we have seen a youth who came back after four years of happy life at a fine college to take his place

thoughtful are soon aware that life has been made ready for them at tremendous cost.

Did ever young people face such a rapidly changing world? They deserve patience and not peevishness, sympathy and not scolding, most of all, the need from us an effectionate emphasis upon their obligation and ours to pay the obligation to the past by putting the future under still heavier obligation of service to God and his children. The. third basis of service is Exaltation . The meaning is that no man can build a great structure of life on a foundation as narrow as himself. But even here we must allow that the policies of the young have largely been made by the older people. Take our national situation just now, with its debate about our national duty with reference to definite internationalism the symbol of the return of our young men from the World War was “the Lady with the Lam;) in her Hand.” So they always spoke of overseas. Was that a mere incident of geography ? On the contrary it was the symbol of the very thing for which our young men were fighting—a world safe for democracy. Who cramped that vision . Who tried to banish that dream? Did our youth? Nay verily the masters in the cramping and vanishing process was a cluster of sensational ma turity that talked about a safe and sane isolation. If the idealism of the new generation has been somewhat routed, bear me witness that the leaders of the routing were not the young people themslves. While our young men still sow visions, our old men, many of them, ceased to dream dreams. When their dreams could have counted most for a world without spears and swords. At this point God has for us some impressive historical examples even if they are often recited, Columbus planned his voyage when he was twenty-eight, Martin Luther started the Reformation when he was just beyond twenty. Joan of Arc saved France when she was 17 and died ma.’tyr at 19. Patrick made his “I nerty and Death” speech when he was 27. Alexander Hamilton was secretary of the treasury at 32. And «• Jesus died on the Cross when he was 33. This list to which impressive additions could be made, may cast into doubt our adult caution and may well make our adult condescension turn
into shame.
But there is a lesson here, also for our young people themselves. If they will take burdens upon themselves we need not worry about their exaltation in character. Admit that the
