It is well to emphasize this two-fold aspect of the truth at a time when we are often tempted to define religion wholly in the terms of morality, and, while insisting on the duties which we owe to each other, to forget those which we owe to God.

It gives to youth its charm and makes of it a blessed time to which we ever turn regretful eyes.
