'YOUTH HASREVOLTED'
Bishop Hughes Says Youth Is Doomed to Relative Mediocrity Unless Ideal Is Firm
"Unless you have a cause for which you will fight with all your strength, and for which you would even gamble it, doomed to relative mediocrity," said Dr. Edwin Holt Hughes, bishop of the Chicago area of the Methodist Episcopal Church, giving day evening services by the Council of Religious Workers of the University. Co-operating with the Council were the conversational leaders of the School of Fine Arts.
A vested choir of more than 72 voices, under the leadership of Dean Hollins, sang as an acolyte in "Hoy," Hotty Hotty, also maria Martin's "Hall, Glaidening Light." Alice Moncireff, sang, "O Divine Redeemer" (Gouned), G. Cris Simpson was at the
"I can't remember a time in the past 50 years in which there was a greater conflict between the older generations and the newer that has happened. The older generation criticizes the younger's shoes, and stockings, and skirts and what they do. This has brought a rebellion among some of books on "The Revolt of Youth."
Cites Social Conflict
"A good many years ago one Sameu Batter blured providences that he had blundered in making the generations of children younger. They appeared before the younger was born he said, since the older ones scolded the younger and the youngsters heckled
Rapid Change Reviewed
"Such a plan works for the butterfly, but God didn't make man after that fashion. Parents and children mingle, play and then the third generation appears on the scene."
"Under such circumstances, the new generation comes into being, and no group in the history of humanity has come under such complex circumstances."
"Your speaker had no telephone in his house before October, 1890; he owned a carriage and owned an automobile; there was no motion picture show within 500 miles of his home; the radio was unheard of in his house; spelling-best and singing school era.
'Relieve in Something'
Consider the distinctions, and the complexities under which the young people of today are born. If there were one message that one of the older generations should ask: How do you ask? Ask yourselves, in the sanctuary of your own heart, "What is my cause?"
"We who lived on the边 of the great American Civil war, realized that there grew out of that struggle a rugged country with a history had opened up of strong convictions.
"I dely you to insert any great name in history, from Abraham, Joseph, and St. Paul, down through the ages of Luther and Peter the Great and John Wesley, that has not been great because it was that of a man who believed
"No greatness is possible without a cause.
"Also, I might add, no man engrossed in a great cause has fallen from his high ideals. It was not until after Luther had attained the reformation with his saint Thomas, he responded with his voice. The presence of a great cause drives evil away."
Bishop Hughes closed with the legend of St. Christopher. Ophne, the legend relates, made a business in the church and helped on his shoulders. One day a child begged to be set across, and the ferryman complied, only to discover that flood waters were there to drain them, and then his body, and in the meantime the child was growing heavier and heavier. Nevertheless, he pressed on and tried to discover that it was the Christ child, and that the very weight of his burden had helped him to keep his footing in the flood. For his perseverance, and then St. Christopher
"I firmly believe, young people, that I sent God of Israel as his minister plenipotentiary to the kingdom of burden of life, but to find for yourself a great cause for which you can bend your heart," he wrote.
