CHANPIONS YOUTH == INITS REVOLUTION Y. ¥. C. . Secretary Also Hits| at Proselyting in Orient (Spectal to the Herald.) Bristol, Jan. 27—A defenss of modern young people was made last | evening by Clarence H. Barnes, gen- | eral secretary of the New Britain | Y. M. C. A, in an address on “The | Birth of the Gods,” at a district young people’s meeting in this city. | Mr. Barnes also took a fling at | Christian nations which try to change the religion of older races, | rather than leave them to their | own conception of God. His address in part follows: “The Birth of the Gods” | “Flaming youth and its revolt are | phrases made familiar by news- | papers, magazines and books which | seek to startle an adult world into reading about the exploits of their offspring. The terms applied to | youth are faventions of their elders. Folks who have lost their youth but | not their imagination, magnify pet- | ting parties into a place of much Ereater Importance than the affairs | hold in the thinking of the partici- pants. In the eyes of the critics the world is bound for the bow-wows. This news is probably surprising to N those who are intimately concerned with the retrogade process. For them life is exceedingly good in | thelr own world and rather dull as | reflected in the life of the censorious. “That, of course, is an extreme statement on both sides of the ques- tlon. Not every adult fs out of sympathy with the ways of the N younger, nor is the present genera- tion entirely blind to its own faults. ““There are plenty of peopls who remember their own youth in the | § days of their disgression. Such per- sons grant youih a share in the priv- |} ilege of error, assumed by the older ®eneration, Untll a perfect day presents itself, mistakes will mark | the progress of all people be they young or old., | “When the flapper appeared, bob- bing her hair and shortening he: skirts she was called immodest be. cause she violated a convention that custom, by its own authority, had |§ made ‘“right”. Later, when her elder sisters stopped talking about | immodesty and adopted for them- |3 sslves the modern modes, a new con- vention made locks and scanty ekirts | *right". That's the way the world || always manages to save its face when soclal customs are changed. “America follows a similar ritual N in political life. Not so many years ago the mociallst howled on soap | § hoxes for women suffrage and other | | changes. After the war intervened | the orthodox policies of the socia- lists. Whereas these principles were |} wrong when they were held by the | radicals, they became “right” when adopted by the conservatives. Changes in Religion | “8o also in religion a like process | is constantly taking place. The God of our fathers has altered His ap- | | pearance just as the grandfather' God differed from that of his son's. |8 Moses' God and Jesus' God were |} changed by the centuries which in- |8 tervened between these two leaders. “Flaying the flapper is s0 com- mon that some people have under- taken to defend her and Interpreted her willingness to defy conventions | g in dress, as an indication that she ‘was ready to revise her thinking | { about important matters of life if | she found that they needed a new interpretation. That seems more im- portant than whether girls wear thelr hair and dresses long or short. “The usual attack against youth | 1s directed agalnst their morals, Of |§ course dress doesn’t have any rela- tionship with morals. One only needs to study dress customs of peoples |f to find out that scantily clad folks of hot countrles are quite as moral | R4 as s the Esquimo dressed tn fur |8 twenty-four hours a day. A little backsround. of facts helps to set us thinking straight. The manner of |§ wearing clothes has some effect on | morals, but the quantity of garments | |8 has no bearing on the question. A woman might easily be more im- modest dreased In the fashion of the gy ninetfes than is her granddaugh- ter in a one plece bathing suit.
