the theme. Christ. the Young Man. OF
the very years OF Christ's life that would
most interest the student in college we
have no record. Yet we know enough
Of the life OF the time that we may
imagine what Christ was as young
man. He probably learned a trade
from his jewish father Joseph had q
broad chest, strong muscles and spark
ling eye. His surroundings probably
created in him love of the beautiful.
Christ was happy young man, strong,
educated, healthy. Christ was always
young il his lille ON earth. He called
| nimseli the prince Of peace, in the
midst OF war. He must establish
kingdom OF purity out OF corruption
and kingdom OF tender love where
iorce reigned before. The strength of
Christ's character WAS shown in his re-
fusing to change bread to stone while
an hungered, when tempted by Satan.
God doesn't want ostentaton.
II. +. Ward. OF the u. S. c., spoke on
The Way by Which to Bring the Uncon-
verted to Christ. intellectually nor
morality alone will do for the young
men who are to be the dominant factor
OF the world. TO be successful in saving
souls we must be in dead earnest all the
time. There ara men who claim to
have 30 much intellectually that they
claim the Bible is too small for their
mind. Some also hide behind the
hypocrises OF poor Christion. There is
a place where reason fails and faith
begins.
Chairman Hunt spoke few moments
in closing.

several weeks. At last DR.. Piereon pre-

go to the foreign mission fields. A
Princeton student went about the .coun-
try presenting the subject, and the leaven
worked until now there are 1000 students
who have joined the movement end
pledged themselves to be missionaries if
called upon. Already there are 700 of
these in the field at work. The object OF
the movement is the evangelization OF
the world.

spiritual blessing upon all who were

ing upon the mountain side, led by Mr..

forence: "a To send men into the rescue
work in the sums of New York. ~
