Karl Lehman Addresses Endeaverers at Residence of Deacon L. A. Hyde Forty Heurs' Devotion Opens at Sa-
 cred Heart Church.

The pleasant home of Deacon Lewis A. Hyde on Washington street was thrown open Saturday evening to q gathering of those interested in young peoples work. The parlers were at- tFRctivply decorated with apple blos- soms, Representatives of the Baptist, Methodist and Congregational church. es of Norwich were present and were addressed informally by Karl Leh- mann, field secretary of young peoples work in Connecticut.
 MT, Lehman, whe was introduced by c. F. Hyde, spoke briefly, before donducting an open discussion, of the problems to be met. l am delighted to see the splendid work being done among young people in Connecticut, he said. At 8 meeting of the Win sted c. D. union. held at Barkhamp- sted during the past week, the young people came from miles around; one society of 24 giving up a banquet and coming seven miles; others drove 21 miles to reach this remote and beau tiful spot, where trailing arbutus grows as the daisies do here. A per- feet union of interests is found, the Baptists taking the name of B. Y. P. U. c. E., the Methodist, Epworth league c. E., etc..
 In Manchester Friday evening fifty juniors were present. The feature of the meeting was the wearing of sashea different colors for officers, commit tees and members. Every society In the union was represented in the large gathering. Mapping won the banner of attendance, 24 of its 26 members be- ing present.
 An open discussion followed, many suggestions were made to be adapted and applied in the individual church. Different points were brought out by | those present. Get hold of a few earn est workers; use them fer a nucleus. The amusement mierebe is vigorous in the town. There is a lack of desire for intellectual development Juniors often contain the best material Stan ] by the things that are definitely re- ligious, Make the programme of the meeting attractive and varied. MT. Speer's Servants of the King Is g good book to use in meetings.
 Have leaderless meetings, have oth- CT meetings conducted by different committees, a pastors sermon meet ing, the latter containing the best things noted in the pastors sermon during the few previous weeks. Have | the midweek service in charge of diff
 ferent church organizations. The young people are more loyal to the church because of their society. Theirs is the only organization that tries to get others to attend church services.
 The question of using the Sabbath for secular pursuits was discussed pro and con. What we need Sunday for is our own spiritual growth. The best kind of character must be built, d l strong religious influence must be used towards this end.
 During the social hour those present
 met Mr Lehman. Fruitade and wa
 fers were served by Miss Hyde.
