Signs of the Times

with contributions from Astor, George Clarke Peck

[Lady Astor as quoted in the Daily Bulletin, Manila, Philippine Islands]

The only way we can affect youth, is not in what we can do for them, but in what we are. I have unbounded faith in my sex. I truly believe that women coming into public life is the greatest spiritual step forward that has happened for generations. The most selfless service comes from women. ... It is said that our young people are going back on Christianity. I do not agree with that. I believe the young people who are thinking for themselves may be far nearer the kingdom than the young people who accepted the faith of their forefathers blindly. Blind faith is not Christianity. I do not think, when so many women are thinking, that they are to reject Christianity.

[From the Times, Visalia, California]
