Dr. Inge went back to the Greeks and their short prescrip tion for happiness, first health, second good looks, third wealth, fourth, to be young with one's friends. I should not myself call that a very joyful theory, of life. The number of years dur- ing which a man can be young is not many. When grizzling hair the brain doth clear a man may naturally desire that "the men who were boys when I was a boy shall sit and drink with me" and share regretful mem- ories, but it is surely uncommon so to honour your vanished youth' as to feel that you are never again to be quite happy.

LAWS OF SOLOMON,
The story of a man's alleged ill-treatment of his 15-year-old because the boy rebelled against attending his father's weekly Scripture lessons was told to the Staple Hills (Bristol) magistrates, recently. when the N.S.P.C.C. prosecuted Walter Sade, of Longwells Green, near Bristol, for alleged cruelty to his son Maurice, on September 13.
The boy said that when he went to play in the garden in- stead of attending his father's his father Scripture lesson, struck him with a stick, and then
In fact, the Greeks themselves were by no means unanimous about the felicity of being young, One of their pet stories was of Sophocles saying he thanked heaven he had left youth behind a mad and furious master." The ordinary man, I suppose, feels that both age and youth have their advan- French tag, "Si la jeunesse tages roughly summed up in the savait, si la vieillesse pouvait" had youth the wisdom, had age the vigour!
A set of modern young men, Dean Inge tells us, were asked to specify the elements in happi- ness, and the result was COTI-
siderably different from the Greek notion.

In a lorg statement to the magistrates, Slade said he was a Christadelphian.” I chastise my boy according to the laws of Solomon. It is according to the law of God that a father should chastise a rebellious son. I am under a law that probably you gentlemen know nothing about. I am unorthodox."
He admitted striking the boy with a rod, but said the blow with the fist was accidental. He was remanded in custody for a week for medical examination,

But I cannot think thesa modern youths are, as reported, quite normal. The ordinary young man may naturally desire to be a decent fellow and to poss sees a fair share of brains, and he may reasonably believe theso qualities are required for happi-| nese. But if you heard of a youth aspiring to spiritual and intellectual excellence would you think that he was in the way to reach either?

Dr. Inge is more surprised that the moderns are rather casual about wealth. They give it only the eleventh and last place among, their wishes, and Dean remarks that this "sounda juvenile or insincere." Let us be charitable and say that it is juvenile. A love of money is not one of the vices characteristic of youth, which is apt to err rather| in the other direction. Modern or Greek or of any other period; the general majority would agree that a sufficiency of this world's goods to provide for comfortable living is one of the conditions of happiness."
What is necessary to comfort is, however, an insoluble pro blem. The man who was pass- ing rich on forty pounds a year is proverbial. There was John son's clerical friend happily bringing up a large family on a amall stipend by feeding them "chiefly on apple dumplings,”
The difference. between the Greek and the modern concep tion of happiness which Dean Ire emphasised is that the Geek felt it absolutely neces sary to be good-looking, while our youth of 1981 do not think it matters much. But this seems to me a mis-judgment The moderns did, specify “phy |sical excellance" as one of the ingredients of happiness. Though good looks may not be as im- portant in the populous moderni world as in, Greece, where beau! tles, male and female, had a na tional honour, surely all sorts and conditions of people think ́á lot of them. Bund
The ultimate truth muy not bo very far from the fable which tells of an ancient Greek coming to life in the modern world and pronouncing that; the only ele ment of happiness known to us and 'unknown' to them was tobac co.
