Preparing for an Indian Summer

THE youngest among us are preparing an Indian summer of peace or laying the foundation for an unhappy old age. It is a long look ahead, but it is inevitable; unless we mellow and soften and ripen with years, unless we deepen the channel of the spiritual nature, unless we exercise a noble self-control and live for pure, high, generous aims, there can be no Indian summer for the soul. The aftermath is gathered from all that is gone before. . . . We think less than we should of the old men and women we are to be, if it is God’s purpose to let us go down the slope of life. Day by day we should seek to hive a little mellow sunshine for our Indian summer.—Christian Register.
