HOW TO GROW OLD.

Mrs Creighton, widow of I)r Creighton, Bishop of London, lecturing at tn« Karnham Coin Exchange (London) laat month on growing oil. said it was piteous tii see the last years of life occupied by care about trifles. If th« sorrows of life had weighed them down they could at least try to keep their gloom to themselves.

Old age should bring tolerance, and with tolerance should come understanding. A serene old age was the fruit of long discipline, and revealed characteT which could be built up only by life effort and belief in goodness. Such happiness came from little' things—th« beauty of flowers, sunshine on the grass sweeping clouds, and the love, of children.
