Cynthia Grey Says:

 

 

All i all. this season has been lit-

tle better or worse than the aver-
age. It has had its bright side and
the two just about even up. But
there is one thing for which we may
truly give heartfelt thanks.

We are hearing'fetver and fewer
attacks on “the modern girl."

Ever since the war the modern
girl has been a fair target (no pun
is intended) for any preacher. edi-
torial writer. politician or upliftor
who felt a. yen to attack something
and could not at. the moment think

. of anything else to excorim.

To be sure. graybeards from time
immortal have always spent a good
percentage of their time in bewsil-
ing the passing of the "nod old
times" and in pointing out to all
and sundry that the girls of their
day were far and away above the
newer generations. But during the
last few years this complaint has
been especially loud and insistent.
and has been Joined in by more be»
wailers than ever before.

What sort of mothers will these
flip young flappers make? This has
been the closing selection on the
program since the war.

And our reply. made after consid-
erable acquaintance with mothers
past. present and future. is;

Mighty good ones.

Because the ‘modern girl. more
than any girl that. ever lived. is
equipped to cope with life. to see it
as it really is. to tackle its problems
boldly instead of shutting her eyes to
them. and to give to her children
knowledge that will help them to
avoid heartachcs and wasted oppor~
tunities when they grow up.

There may be less modesty about
her. but there is less hypocrisy. If
there is less revsrence‘thers is also
less fear. If there is less‘regard for
the old established standards at con-
duct there is also more bravery and
common sense in finding new and
better standards.

’l'h» flapper wears too few clothes.
theigraybesrds. To which it
might he replied. who says so: She
wcnrs fewer than her mother did. to
be sure—but she wears enough to
keep her warm. certainly: and it is
a fact well known to students of the
subject that clothing and morals
have no connection whatever.

But she smokes cigarets, they
complain. And our reply here is.
What of it? Why is it proper for
her brother to smoke them and not
for her? What is sauce for the gan-
der is sauce for the goose.

Loudest of all. however, her clit-
lcs complain that the modern girl
allows men. to take too many liber-
ties with her.

First of all. you might try to find
out whether the girl of today. o
the average. really does indulge in
much more freedom along this line
than the girl of. say. twenty-five.
years ago. There have been a lot of
loose' assertions to that effect; but
has anyone ever checked up on it?

It’s our opinion that things are much

the same now as they always were.
Only—you hear more about it now-
sdsys. 1

If s'elf- reliance. frankness. ecu!»
sge, contempt for shame and a grow-
ing willingness to discard rose- -color.
ed glasses and look at life as it really
is are faults then the modern girl
sins grievously. But are they?

Aren‘t they rather the traits that
will help her in the great task that
awaits youth everywhere—the re-
pairing and general mending of ‘a
world that we of the older genera-
tion have more or less allowed to go
to smash?

The Rt. Rev. Charles L. Slatosry.
bishop coadjutor of Massachusetts.
is chairman of the. joint committee
on prayer book revision which spon-
sored thc elimination of the word
"obey" at the general convention of
the church in Portland, Ore.. in
September. 1922. The convention.
praclically with uuzillimity. voted
for the elimination. but under the
laws of the church an amendment
must be approved by two suceeding
conventions. anti .rccmdlngly the
matter will come up for final de-
termination at the triennial general
conference that is to open at New
Orleans on October 7.

Bishop Johnson is said to be the
first notable leader of the church to
come out openly against the pro-
posed change. He is also the editor
of The Witness, a church publica-
tion. in a forthcoming issue of which
his statement will apputr in full It
is summarized as follows:

"If women do not love men well
enough to accept their leadership,
which is the significance
obey.‘ they will not love them any
more because their vanity is flatter-
ed by the omission. ,-

"\\'ll.v is i. proposed to take the
word ‘obey' out of the marriage scr-
vice? In my Judgment because mod-
ern society has lost the sense of
portortion which lies at the founda—
tion of the home, and ill order to
justify itself. wishes to accommo.
date the Word tt‘fiod to palliate the
situation.

“The idea thht the. word ‘obey'
connotes servility is the heresy of
modern parents and the schism of
modern families. The word 'obey’ is
limited always by the circumstance
of its use. When asked if yOu will
obey the civil authorities. you do
not infringe in any \lay upon your
liberties as an American citizen.
When a soldier is asked to obey his
captain. he does not surrender- his
manhood. When a woman is asked
to obey her husband. bill} does not
l'essen the glory of her womanhood.

"A family is a corporation, and
either the man is the head of the
family. or else it is presided over by
a. committee of two, which has no
way of determining a mojority vote
except by an endurance test. It is
now proposed to endorse a headless
family in the interrrts of accommo-
dating ll‘uth to prejudice.

"God made man to be the head
of the family-because it was his
duty to provide and protect. The
church exists to set forth ideals. not
to Justify perversion of ideals.

“i believe fully in woman's rights.
but I do not believe headship ofthe
family is one of those rights. It may
be true that. in a. majority of cases
she has the. best head and uses it
more intelligently. but when she is

moved to assert her leadership. the.

nran loses a glory that the woman
does not gain. no matter- how much
she may proulaim the fact that she

deserves the recognition to which
her talents entitle her.
"This is the day in which the

vcauum is coming into its own. The
popular prophet tells us that God
made man to have an empty head
devoid of convictions: an empty
heart devoid of obligations; an
empty life devoid of sacrifices.

“The question before us in this
proposed amendment is this: Is the
American family today ill which
there is little either of reverence or
abedlcnce. going to be cnnobled by
substituting the Jejuue theories of
academic philosophy for the decla-
ration of God through His prophets
and .the experience of generations
in which family life was sanctified
and the proportion of responsibility
was definitely set forth?

“I know that women are more
potent forces for good than men.
‘Hls mother's name was so and so..'
means more to a child than that his
father made a million and lost his
human touch in doing it.

"Of course society will not col-
lapse by leaving out the word 'obey'
from the marriage service, but I be-

‘lieve that the church will have let

down her standards to satisfy a re.-
tionalistic world which is more con-
cerned with syllogiams than it is
with facts.

"The Roman Empire in the days

of Marcus Aurelius was not more.

incapable of setting the standard of

family life than we are in America-

today where the home has become a.
memory and family life a tragedy.
