 Mrs. LamOreaux Speaks
 | Mrs. Lamoreaux said in part:
 "We have been talking about raw ma terial for character building and now we talk of the feelings that help, that hin- | der, that make characters go out to help others The feelings we have are pic- | lures of what we are. We stand self re- vealed by what we feel. What have | in me will make feeling that comes when certain things touch me as they do not touch others.
 "That lad in the Sunday school class | is touched by the lesson, this lad is not: | 1t Is a difference In the boys in what | they feel
 | '"rhe middle teen period of the boys and girls life is the awakening to the power of T feel. At the age of 1S or Il years they realize physical con- sciousness that never makes itself known before and it is the ego the something within, the desire to give something of themselves to others. The problem Is that there is only ones self to invest and to invest this where 1t Is best ''The call from the uttermost parts of the world comes to all young people, Il sacred thing it is. Life begins to say to them, I want to mean something to the whole world Girls want some thing so high. so ideal that the worlds great awakening means to them an in- spiration to achieve. ea. .,s...-, "The last great awakening, I don't mean the first consciousness, is to the love of God. There are four awakenings to self and others to the world and the Divine, through which God is going to | lead them to be something worth While | When these feelings come 1t means that | they stand on the threshold of a life of beauty and utility if some one is then to direct them along the right lines.'
 Rev J. A. Bryan next led a circle of short prayer and bits of the Scriptures recited in unison, brief discussion and | prayer service under the leadership of Rev J. T. Plunkett, on the subject That We Be Diligent in Saving the Whole
