Once Charles became of working age, in his early teens, he took advantage of his bilingualism to search for a farm work 30 km south of Farnham to the township of St. Armand East by the border between Quebec and Vermont. By leaving the Guillet 's traditional family area, one of the first to do so since this Guillet branch arrived in 1718, Charles would have to deal with the lack of family contact by learning to be independent. His first job on his way to manhood was with Alpheus Deming on his well established farm and saw mill, the first mill in the area. Alpheus, the second generation of Demings born in Quebec, had improved his loyalist father 's initial homestead, of 200 acres of mostly virgin forest, into 100 acres of pastures and crops and a 2 acre apple orchard.

Lewis is no simple moralist. His ability lies in showing the immense foundations and most normal propensities for present day life as good issues to be confronted or understood. The general lesson of his work is that quite a bit of present day life is irreverent and rather base. For instance, The family is the wellspring of profound love, yet it can likewise be smothering.

First of all, Lewis elucidates that some Christians scorn others for not devoting all their time to religious activities, and that to answer bad philosophy there must be knowledge of what constitutes as good philosophy. Notably, Lewis makes two separate points, but they connect to one another; for it’s bad philosophy if Christians believe that the only way to glorify God is by participating in religious activities. An educated individual would discern that even a person fully dedicated to
C.S. Lewis grew up struggling with his faith. Before his mother died in 1908, Lewis was a wholehearted Christian.
