influential leaders for good in a
Minnesota group OF country boys,
was few years ago the most reck-
less daredevil in town, although
the son of a minister. Among the
twenty-nine converts in an Iowa
county were included the captain
of high school football team, the
catcher of the baseball nine, and
a young lawyer who had been q
wife-beater. and recently run big
dance in opposition to the meet
ings held in the town.
A young Norwegian, who was a
member of a Minnesota group, at
tracted attention of the county sec
retary by his cleverness, ability and
character. Because of the training
given him he is now a Sunday
school field missionary among the
Norwegians in South Dakota.
These County Associations are
taking lead in athletics in their
sections by organizing field meets
which attract the attention OF the
country round. These are conducted
on clean sport" and fair play
principle, which the Associations
have introduced into the cities. Boys
are held under Christian influences
by this combination of athletics,
bible study and social service which
holds them at the time they usu-
ally leave the Church and Sunday
school The Bible classes are popu-
lar: for instance, 800 older boys
and younger men are found in the
Bible classes taught by older boys
", Mich. Much OF this popularity
depends upon the class leader as
in County Association in a lum-
Der community in Maine the Bible
class OF twenty-five young men have
for their teacher former crack
college athlete, who is the Principal
OF the High School.
When the Association begins to
work in section there are often
times no Christian young men. This
was so in an Iowa town. where
when Il Bible class of twenty men
was formed, only one man was a
Christian but today there is only
one of them who is not a Chris
tian. Sometimes the students OF
these lasses drive from three to five
miles to attend a Bible class which
may be held in home or school
house. At Grand Junction, Iowa,
the largest class is made up of the
members OF the Masonic Lodge,
who are studying the Life OF Christ
from His birth to resurrection, as
typiiied in the old temple worship.
But the County Associations
methods of work are not all lin
tied to Bible classes nor to ath-
letics, lectures and entertainments
are arranged, and evening educa-
lional classes according to the needs
oi the men In the summer the
boys camp together.
1t seems that this department OF
the organization is to effect in a
very vital manner the conditions
OF life among the young men in the
smaller towns and the country
communities. where fifty-five per
cent. of the young men and boys
of the United States live.

THE MYSTERY or SLEEP.
No Man Knows When the Moment Of

mo wan hnoWS WNeU inc moTncHt OF

There is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be over
looked. The sleep of Il human being,
if we are not too busy to attend TO the
matter, always cvokes n certain feeling.
of awe. Go into Il room where a per-
son Is sleeping. and it is difficult TO
resist the sense that one Is in the pres
cnce OF the central mystery of exist.
ence. People who remember how con
stantly they see old Jones asleep In
the club library Will smile at this, but
look quietly and alone even at old
Jones ana the sense OF mystery will
soon develop.
n is no good TO say that sleep is OILY
moving" because 1t looks like death.
The person who IL breathing so loudly
as to take away all thought of death
causes the sense of awe quite as easily
as the silent sleeper who hardly seems
to breathe.
We see death seldom, but were 1t
more familiar we doubt If u corpse
would inspire so much awe as the un-
conscious and sleeping figure-a smil-
Ing, irresponsible doll, flesh and blood,
but q doll to whom In second may
be called proud, active, controlling
consciousness which will ride his bodl-
~ and his mental horse with n hand
of iron, which will force that body to
endure toll and misery and will make
that mind, now wandering in paths of
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all its force into the
ruling, the saving or the destruction
of mankind. The corpse Is only so
much bone, muscle and tissue; the
sleeping body Is the house which Il
qulck ana eager master has only left
for an hour or so.
Let any one who thinks sleep is not
mystery try to observe in himself
the process by which sleep comes and
TO notice how and when and under
what conditions he loses consciousness.
He will, of course, utterly fail to put
his finger on the moment of sleep com
| ing, but in striving to get as close as
4, he can to the phenomena OF sleep he
will realize how great Is the mystery
which he Is irving to fathom.
