Men and Religion Forward Movement
The most definite and encouraging
meeting Of the Payette Committee
of Thirty" yet held was that OF the
regular Thursday Lunch hour ses-
sion on January 25. About 20 men
were present and reports were pre-
scented clearly indicating that detl-
mite things are being achieved al
ready. Investigations are being con-
Quoted to discover the exact status
of work already being done by the
church organizations of the city, es-
pecially as relating to boys and men,
where the shortcomings are in pres
ent methods or application of the
same. and to find the way, thru
the unparalleled opportunity afford
ed by the Movement, by which the
defects may be intelligently ana
effectively overcome. After the con-
sideration of the several reports and
the announcement of the Banquet
committee, short talk was made
by Mr.. H. A. Dalzen of Portland,
who is state secretary for Oregon
and Idaho of the Student Department
and Boys Work In a few words
he clearly set forth the relationship
ri the Boys work to this move
ment that has a vital message for
the boy as we'll as the man. Follow
ing Mr. Dalzell, Mr.. W. S. Bruce
chairman of the Boise Committee OF
One Hundred, told of the increased
efficiency in practically all lines OF
Christian effort that has come in
Boise as a result of the call to SER
vice by the great campaign. While
the first impressions gained of the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment" surprise one with their mag
nitude and comprehensiveness, yet
deeper insight constantly increas-
es in ones mind the conception Of
the almost immeasurable possibilities
of this modern crusade.
