Young Men and the Churches.


One OF the unpleasant features of
religious life is the lack Of young men
In the churches. The evil is not q
small one. and there arc indications
that II is growing larger; it has GER
tainly increased in the last thirty
years. Can the evil be removed or.
at least. rcduccdP We are confident
that somo things can be done TO i'm
prove the situation. For one thing.
the distinct recognition OF the fact
that there are too few young men in
the church should tend to better the
record. Systematic efforts to win
young men ought to be undertaken all
along the liue. The church wants
them and must get them. Many ways
to go about the enlistment OF such sol
diers OF the cross will be found. some
best fitted to one and others to another
locality or denomination. One OF these
is that young men will not go very
heartily into any enterprise when they
can only sit still. look on and liston.
Young men have 90 be enlisted as act
i've workers. Old men may be taken
in MS parlor boarders, but young
man must be set at work or he will
soon grow llstlcss. Besides. young
men can best win young mon. and 1t is
in such work that the value of youth
full members is always highest. The
principle has. however, another i'm
portant application. The officiary OF
too many churches has no young
blood in 1t. Give the young brethren
