for his home Certainly his every APP
pearance was many steps removed from
the man of the cloth and as other of1icers
were introduced. the amazement OF tho
reporter grew with each Introduction.
For some reason he had expected TO see
different looking men and different metn-
DDS In vogue. 1t requires much real
executive ability to handle conventions
where thousands are assembled, oul
everything pa ssed off in as businessllke
a way as that Of some great polltlcal
convention and much more quietly Ana
1t seemed almost incongruous to nave
such husinesSlike methods suddenly IN
terrupted with prayer or the Singing OF
hymns Truly this present gathering OF
the Baptist Young Peoples Union Is
wonderful combination of the sacred ana
the secular; of the religious and the
businesslike.
Imagine II you will thousands of people
rising in their seats beneath a veritable
canopy of multi-colored flags artistically
draped, waving their handkerchiefs in
silent chautauqua salute that gives the
appearance Of tidal wave Of white or
the combing of some huge breaker as IL
dashes itself into a mass of spray from
some long Journey on an incoming tiue.
And in every face of every waver the
happiest of expressions In which pride
and generous cOngratulation are beautl-
fully intermngled for the one who Is
the object OF this silent salute.
Another picture is that OF one young
wearer OF the Jaunty white caps that
may be FOUND well to the front In the
great congregation. An earnest speaker
is holding forth from the rostrum ana
this one is leaning forward In that I'M
mistakable attitude that proves that she
Is living far away from the thousands
that are all around her and Is quite
alone in the world OF which the speaker
Is talking. She Is not pretty IN the gen
eral acceptance of the term. The con-
tours of her face are neither classic nor
perfectly regular. But there Is IN heI
intense expression and the scarcely per
ceptiblc smile that drifts again ana AGAIN
across her features a certain something
that holds your attention and makes YOU
look a second time. And with the SECOND
look you turn again and again to watch
this same expression, confident that you
cannot appear rude, for she Is utterly op-
livious to all around her. And just as
you are about to be convinced that TINS
one is not like other girls you see another
and another and many more and finally
you are convinced that she IS just Ike
other girls-the other girls that are gath
cred together in the auditorium these
