THE WEEK-END “REST”
“there is real danger tk.it the modern passion for sport, and, still more, tho modern opportunities for locomtion, may destroy tho possibility of rest, and quiet, and thought, which are no less important elements of n holiday than recreation. The following ot a business—in tho modern world an. increasingly exigent occupation does more than ac-t as an unhealthy restraint on bodily .activity; it is apt to starve the finer sensibilities and to choke the free course of the human spirit. The weekly holiday should be a. time of release for the mind, even more than an occasion for the refreshment. of the body. Quiet communion with idea! influences is more essential to-day. in the interests of the individual and of the race, than it has even been before. Tho need is there, and men can he brought to see its satisfaction ns a duty tit themselves and to their neighbours; but only if the duty is freed from any suggestion of mere taboo.”—“The Times'’ (1,011don).
