Dean Inge, preaching the Found- ers Day commemoration sermon at Bromley College, said they ought neither to fear death nor to
wish for it. They ought to feel | that death simply did not count, It did not matter a jot whether life lasted thirty, sixty, or, ninety years; all, that mattered was that It should be well lived up to the time of its close. If they were not creatures of a day, but immortal spirits, what could it matter if they spent a few days or a few years more or less, on the earth?
Let them not think of old age as merely the beginning of dissolu tion. They ought to consider that each period of life had its own: value and beauty. Childhood was not merely a preparation for man- hood, nor old age a preparation for Did you ever have that nerve-rack-death.
