PASADENA, June S.--Young men of
the city are planning a revolt against
the old method of providing entertain
ment at the church socials and other
gatherings whose purpose Is to Inter-
est the younger element in church
work. 1t is not infrequent that in
meetings where some Of the elder peo-
pie are called upon to speak that they
are interrupted by some of the younger
set leading with a song.
A young man in discussing the situ-
alton today said in his opinion that
something should be done to make the
young peoples meetings more attrac-
tive. For myself" he said, II am
tired Of attending socials and be forced
to listen to some old maid relate her
experiences in long winded fashion,
and that Is almost invariably what you
hear at most of the meetings I have
attended here. I propose that a de-
bate be tried for diversion. Argument
on some timely topic would interest
everybody and 1 am sure 1t would be
more elevating."
The suggestion will be taken up by
several of the church societies at future
meetings.
