DIR. COLLINS TO YOUNG MEN.
Well-known Educator Talks at the
Y.M. G. A. Rooms.

Y.M. G. A. Rooms.
Rev. Vaughn S. Collins, principal OF
the Conference Academy at Dover, made
an interesting address at the Y. Nj. C. A.
gospel meeting yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Collins took his text from the
10th Chapter, 2lst Verse of Judges: ''But
the Philistines took him and put out his
eyes and brought him down to GAIA and
bound him with fetters of brass; and he
did grind in the prison house."
THAT" said Rev. Collins, ''is one OF
the closing scenes in the life of one of
the national her.es."
Rev. Collins talked on the life of Sam
son from his birth until his death and
how he broke his faith with God by tell
ing the secret Of his strength, and how
that strength was taken from him by his
hair being cut by his enemies.
What was it that brought Samson
down? 1t was bad company.
81 tell you, boys, to associate with bad
boys and bad girls will bring you down.
When young man wastes his strength
with bad companions he is q victim of
the devil"
Rev. Collins concluded his address by
urging all the young men to give their
strength to God.
DR.. Wood, recently appointed pastor
of North Baptist Chuich, will address
the gospel meeting next Sunday. Music
will be furnished by the well-known
Oriental Qualtette.
