day, six lyCeums OF prominence hold
sessions and in ali these cases, the peo
pie turn out and listen and discuss ap-
preciatively. No man who An walk,
needs to be iguola 1T in this Athens Of
America
Speaking or ly ceums and their bene-
fit to a church or immunity, have you
ever noticed that while most of them
Il 3urish, If managed properly, they are
seldom supported by the main b ndy OF
the CHURCHES n which ths sessions are
held For the most part, the controll-
ing office's are members of 9th
churches, the talent is almCsI VIII y
foreign and the audie ices are gather d
from the four corners OF the town, who
follow up the best attractions.
Why is this? And why Is it that most
church trustees regard q literary organ
iza ion purely from q mercenary stand
point, estimating its value by the
amount of money that it hands into the
church treasury? Even il operated at q
fra cal loss as far as light and heat
are concerned, does not the church owe
something to its young people, II they
are not encouraged to devote them elv6 g
to organization work and taught to
love that which Is el,vstiDg and which
brings them close to the altar, where
are the ministe ters' recruits to come from !?
Does not the presence of a fiourshI1g
general Iycf N advertise a chu' ch, ex-
tend its influence and carry its name
into sec ions where it might otherwise g
be unkno vi? If a Iyceum pays lis ex-
penses. it does well, but most of them
contribute from S25 to 500 per year d.
rectIy to the church treasury. And yet
the church members as a rule, do not
even turn out their presence. Why?
