AGE OF NOISE
The Rev. William Younger, president of the Methodist Conference, regards this as the Age of Noise. “Even our oldworld English villages have disappeared,” he said, speaking at the East End Mission, in London. “We do not know them as the quiet and peaceful places they used to be on beautiful Sunday mornings. You will find a screaming and howling gramophone in every cottage window. Ninety-five per cent, of the gramophones have been made by manufacturers with musical influenza. “It is an age of noise. Noise is everywhere. It is an age when science talks, by means of the omnibus, car, train and aeroplane. There are few moments in the 24 hours when science is not opening its mouth to say one thing or another.”
