President of Baptist Young Peo-

the Speaker.

"A few years ago progressive euchres.

our country. Some one thought to pray

| the world is to be redeemed"
This statement was made by John H.
Chapman Of Chicago in the course of an
address delivered last night at the monthly
mass meeting OF the st. Louis BaStist
Young Peoples Union at the Third Baptist
Church
Mr.. Chapman is international president Of
sition since the founding Of the society.

Nine years ago. when the union was in its
infancy, Mr.. Chapman spoke in this city 20

representatives Of twenty-five city unions;
Mr.. Chapman began by saving that If the

that st. Patrick was Baptist could be
proven true. the choosing of March IT for

a person to seclude himself and be peculiar.
Too many Christians are satisfied with saw

many lean souls.
God has given us no gift that he did not
intend We should use. Our physical sice
should be developed, that the mental side
may be healthy and clear. Both should be
cultivated, that the spirit in man may be
perfect. What the nation needs Is we'll

There is a sure and decided tendency in
this direction. In the Middle Ages the
Christian was not the bold, rugged hero,
but rather tramp and a yagabond Then
we had the stern, austere person who
pleaded for nothing but the renouncing of
the world and its follies. After him the
hard-faced saint who developed dyspepsia
rather than goodness. Now the Christian
people are the worlds best poole.
What makes as many Christians as any

and,
whereas. the investigation has proved
eminently successful, the result Of which
was to establish beyond any doubt or cavil
