Quoting the exercises. The conservation
service at the morning hour was in charge
Of Rev. e. G. Anslrus of Riverside. the
subject of his address being youth 10 Ma
turity Religious Step" The tonor Of his
remarks was that from the beginning 10
he mi af % ha ri of
childish things. The youth becomes ma
ture when he ceases to look upon the
world as great pleasure house, and ac-
cepts the duties which are before him. This
acceptance Of the responsibilities Of life is a
religious step. He begins to love the well
fare Of his fellow men. 1t is the purpose
of the young peoples organization and
the church to emphasize this transmission
and prepare young men and women for the
more sober paths that await them. The
child and the man are one. The con-
scientious man Is child, ready to accept
the truth and live it-ready to consecrate
his whole life to the welfare of his kind
when he sees what to do.
