The Mission of Sport 



the loss of the placid fitness for the 

 quiet joys and comforts of advancing 

 years, and in the displacement of con- 

 tented age by the demon of querulous 

 and premature decrepitude! 



"For the good God who loveth us 

 He made and loveth all." 



A Law not to Be Disobeyed 



Men, in disobedience of this law, 

 may achieve triumph in the world of 

 science, education and art; but how 

 unsatisfying are the rewards thus 

 gained if they hasten the night when 

 no man can work, and if the later 

 hours of life are haunted by futile 

 regrets for what is still left undone, 

 that might have been done if there 

 had been closer communion with na- 

 ture's visible forms !
