The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day

CHAPTER VII
11/48

As it is, we train Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in the principles of honour and chivalry.

Our Bible-classes minister to the hungry spirit much information about the journeys of St.Paul (with maps).

But the pupils are seldom invited or assisted to _taste_, and see that the Lord is sweet.
Now this indifference means, of course, that we do not as educators, as controllers of the racial future, really believe in the spiritual foundations of our personality as thoroughly and practically we believe in its mental and physical manifestations.

Whatever the philosophy or religion we profess may be, it remains for us in the realm of idea, not in the realm of fact.

In practice, we do not aim at the achievement of a spiritual type of consciousness as the crown of human culture.
