, This has become great feature in alE
, churches, a time when youth shall
lead the young. Youthful voices
nigh into the heart of nature sing the
songs attuned to the harmony and
rythm of poetry. This eighborhood
is one that is wonderfully strong in
the ability of its young people. 1t
has become now so that they have
come to an age where they can cope
with their elders in attending to
business. We doubt not if an enter
tainment was turned over to them
they could handle it most rs we'll as
the elders. But they all work we'll
together youth and age nearing a
common center, self accountability.
