n.ut. it mast br thought that some \
amusement, are legitimate, which are
under the ban Of the church.
Rev. +. II. TipPett agreed with tie
idea of holding a special service ocea-
sionally for the children. Many churches
have a splendid Old-Guard but lie" 10
take the places, few young people COM
ing ON to take the older P copies places
While keeping our eye upon the men
outside the church, they must not for
get the possibilities within. The qnes
ton of amusemeuts will he settled II We
can bring the truly Christian ideal TO
these young people.
Rev. W. =. Pritchard, Granny, ouer
thought that if he lad TO so through
college again he would not study Hebrew
lie wished he had spent the time on
, psychology aud the study OF human ma
ture he had wasted on dead languages.
: Rev. VIM. Mcintosh thought that 1t
5 was one of the sad features of our church |
t life that so many young people are neg
lected. The negative view OF the
s church life, the view of "giving up" has
!. been over accentuated. lie tried to
h teach his young people that 1t was not
Is giving up but getting to live Chrls
" tian life. We make mistake when as
lg a church we say "you must do this'
'you mustn't do that"

| Goods leading is not always in direct

ney sometimes halted, sometimes re-

he enter. Sometimes they were halted 10y
me hostile tribes, sometimes for purposes OF
to discipline. Oftentimes we are halted for
err purposes of discipline, but there are times
)ns when above the conflict of voices there
wn is heard the voice of God calling us tC
her the forward movement of thought anc
