YOUTH AND FUTURE
" I have every confidence that the next generation will compare well with this one; for, after all, we have not too much about- which we can boast. I have no patience with people who decry the youth of to-day as being decadent. The same thing has been said of the young in every generation by those who were much older. Personally, lam a. champion of our youth. The youth of to-day is more open and above-board than in the old days, and probably just clean in mind and spirit. Because girls of to-day follow the fashions, they do not necessarily have lower ethical standards than their mothers. The modera boy may not seem to be as chivalrous as his father, but I think he is just as upright and thoughtful. So I am looking to youth to help rn mending the troubles of the world." —General Evangeline Booth.
