AN EVENING WITH STURGEON
An Organization of Young People at
Baptist Tabernaclae

What to do with the young people how
to interest them and utilize for good their
immense power and wonderful enthu-
siasm has always been Il problem with
the churches.
1t is a problem that the Tabernacle
Baptist church of this city has been
trying to solve, and it seems i'll fair
way to succeed. A week ago an or
ganization was formed by the young
men and women of the congregation. to
be known as a Young Peoples Union,
with Mr.. X. n. Simms as presidenet.
This. union will meer every Tuesday
night, and the work for the month will
be divided up as follows: One evening
a lecture by some distinguished man;
one evening devoted to study of the
Bible; one evening discussion of a his
torical or biographical subject, and one
evening devoted to some literary topic.
On odd evenings receptions will be given.
This programme, it is believed, will
get the young people Of the city interest
ed, help them to profitably employ their
leisure time and direct their energies in
a proper and useful channel.
The second meeting of the Union, since
the subject was "Spurgeon."
Miss Bertha Stein read short bio
graphical sketch of this great man and
powerful preacher-perhaps the greatest
since Martin Luther She dwelt espe-
cially on his childhood and early spirit

that formed his character and shaped
his course in life. Among the greatest
deeds Of this great man. she said was
the establishment of Pastors College,
where hundreds of ministers are edu-
Gated, and the building of boys or
phans home.
This paper was followed by a short
address from DR.. Thos. f. Skinner. who
spent more than a year in England and
knew Mr. Sturgeon personally.

in other words, if the whole force ex-
pended by the heart in twenty-four

stroke, such a power would lift 124
