Yesterday’s
answer:
(D) The youth
of the church
“We are certainly undergoing radical changes in our
temporal and more especially our political affairs,” Susa Young Gates wrote the
following year. This sense of profound and unsettling change in the community
was focused in a perception of generational crisis, with fears for the future
expressed as the tendency of the young people to be spiritually unmotivated,
materialistic, and even rebellious. Such concerns appeared frequently in the
Young Woman’s Journal. “Sister Snow spoke intelligently and with feeling of the
indifference which seems to be growing up among the young in regard to
spiritual affairs,” according got one report, while Sister Talmage deplored
“the flippant way some young ladies have of referring to sacred things.”
Talmage revisited the subject the next month, asserting that many young women
were “’running astray’ rather than being ‘led astray.’” Fictional characters
voiced the concerns as well. “I tell you young people now-a-days don’t know
what life means,” Aunt Betsy declares in one story as she watches her young
niece prepare to be married. “They must begin it with everything heart can
desire, consequently they can’t enjoy anything.”
