Physical. intellectual and moral life
is all too poor in too many.
1t makes difference what we think
OF life. 1t will be no larger or better
than our ideals and plans.
What is your life?
Answers: 1t is something to your
self. 1t is something to your home. 1t
is something to society. It is some
thing to the church. It is something
to the State.

II Live for Those Who Love Me. ,"

address by Mrs. w. L. Green, the Sec
retary OF the Young Peoples board.

ing evangelistio work this summer
under the support of the young people.
Rev. W. d. Wilcox, of Chicago, fol.
lowed with an address, "What Should
Our Young People Be?' He said the
church of to-day is social rather than
soul saving. The God of the theolo.
glan and the God of Scripture are no
longer one and the same. Religion is
too much theory. Young people must
find pure religion in the church.
A short speech by Eugene Davis
followed, and Mrs. Fl. M. Maxson
spoke next ON ''The Child and the
Church." The child holds more i'm
portant place in the world than ever
before and should have more careful
study for his individual needs.
The home, church, Sabbath School
and Junior Endeavor Society are all
factors in developing the Christian
character of the child.
In the last five years 224 Juniors
have united with the churches of the
denomination. The church needs the
child and the child needs the church.
Rev. A. J. O. Bond next made an
appeal 1t was vigorous one for
West Virginia, his native state.

the Young Peoples board, gave an

we have been doing and do it better.
