open to all young people not afillated
with some other UNCONVENTIONAL society
and statement of aims and purposes
was made by Rev. Roy NJ Houghton,
pastor, which made a very favorable
impression upon the large number of
young people who were present despite
the unfavorable weather. Rev Mr..
HoughtQn said he had no very definite
idea as to what the society should be.
but that he wanted whatever the young
people wanted. He thought 1t would be
a fine thing to meet every Sunday even
ing for Some kind of a service and have
a meeting of purely social nature once
In about two weeks He said there was
nothing more truly religious than that
which brought people together in a
proper social way. There cannot be two
standards of truth, he said, one for the
church and one for outside the church.
Whatever is right outside the church is
right inside the church. He said he ex-
pected to see the time when the vestry
would be open every evening In the week
so that the young people could go In to
read, play games and have other forms of
amusement. He called attention to the
large amount of room under the church
and suggested that II would be a fine
place for a bowling alley. Equipment

OF great satisfaction TO him to come to
this church, which was willing to learn
che truth and was not bound down by
tradition, bigotry and self-centredness.

at the evening service. and on motion of
Harold r. whitney. after general dis
eussiOn, a committee was appointed to
