Where are the Boysa
On Sabbath evening last the Epworth |
League of the NJ. E. Church, of Middle
town. celebrated the sixth anniversary of |
the society which began with the union |
of the young people of five churches, now
abou. one and one-quarter |
A representative of the TRANSCRIPT drop
ped into the regular and on this occasion
the preliminary, meeting of the League
which is held half hour before the usual
evening service. Eighty per cent. of those
present were ladies and girls. There were
three or four boys between the ages of six
and sixteen. Query: Where are the boys?
In the anniversary meeting following in
the audience room of the church, which
was well filled, there were five girls, be-
tween the ages named, to every boy in at
tendance, and at least two-thirds of the
audience was Of the gentler sex. Again,
Why is this? and where were the boys?
The pastor referred to the organization
IF the Christian Endeavor in Portland,
Me-, in 1881, now numbering two and a.
half millions and the wonder is, are the
boys represented there. proportionately
represented? He spoke of the good ac-
by the Y. M. c. A. during its
organization for the past half century, and
he thought arose, If the boys "cut" Sun
lay School and ignore the League and
Endeayor Societies will they get back into
he Y. NJ. C. A and the church?
The preacher said in many respects "the
children of this world are wiser than the
children of light" and the query at once
presented itself, is this true of the manage
nent of these societies and of the Sunday
schools? The representative of the Tran
cRIPT is a stranger to the schools and
ocicties, hence the inquiry is general one,
,ut it is true, and may be true here, that
he fact is not generally recognized that
boys are not good merely for the sake of
'eing good, "like girls" and the hum-dru
outline, the machine ruts, become tiIesome
md irksome and they long for change,
