DR.. Van Schaick Comments on Work
Of Y. p. G. q. Convention.
1.-The recent convention of young people
In our city made us realize anew the
worth and power of organized youth" de-
clared Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick, jr.,
pastor of the Church of Our Father, in a
| sermon to his congregation yesterday
morning.
He toook as his text Great Is the Lord
and Greatly to Be Praised Is the City Of
Our God" His remarks were directed to
the convention of the Young Peoples
Christian Union, which closed last We'd
nesday. He said:
To-day 1 desire to speak of three things
suggested by the convention.
First and foremost. we think of the
makeup of the convention-the personnel
the character of the people with whom
we were associated. They represent
eighteen states. They came from the far
north and the distant south. We have
had larger conventions, but never better
ones.
"In the second place, it will be joy to
remember not only the people who came,
but the way they did their work. The
business sessions were short interesting
and effective. What was needed to be
done was done without interminable de-
bate.
Tn the third place. We were impressed
with the way the convention was re-
ceived. the pulpits which were opened TO
our ministers. the good wishes and Of
fers of cooperation which came from
every SIDE
