TALKS TO YOUNG PEOPLE

That the cliques, coteries and circles
of modern "society" retard the best
development of real society by exclusion
and ostracization of people who would,
by intermarrying, be help to, and
elevate and broaden that society, is the
belief of Rev. James II. Northrup, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church.
He brought out this idea in his address,
Young People as Girls and Beaux, - at
the young peoples day services last
night in the church.
He stated that often young men of
character grow up in city, live most
worthy lives and die without having
been recognized by those who claim to
be in "society." "Society is so stu
pid as not to recognize many fine citi-
zens that grow up and live worthy
lives,' he said. On the other hand, he
thought society circles do push out and
exclude many who are really Of low
character, and in that way do e credit
able work.
In speaking Of young people as girls
and beaux he advocated organizations
which bring the two sexes more togeth
er, He stated that 80 often at differ
ent meetings you will find a disparity
of one sex and majority of the other.
He praised the work of the coeduca-
tional institutions of the land.
He thought religious work should be
made interesting SO that the children
of the church, when they become
beaux and sweethearts, will not be so
distracted by parties and social func-
tions that they forget the church.
Mr.. Northrup thought it wise that
young men and women should mingle
freely, and not be restrained too much
by the old folks. "We, ON the part of
the church, would not separate the
young man and young woman,' he
said. Ordinarily he thought it well that
each young man should have q girl and
each Young woman have a bean.
Rev. u. j. Brewer, of the Children :
| Home Society, Trenton, spoke of the
| work of that organization, and gave
many instances of children from this
city who were helped by it. He said
that the proper place for child is at
home with it's mother, but when it has
none it cannot go to them, but that this
organization in many cases aids them
to find mother and a home; always a
home.
He stated that during the past year
eight or rine children from Perth Am
boy had been aided by that organiza-
ton, and that during the year 400 lit
tie ones had been helped without TAX
ing them into the society.
He said: cit is important to get
children while they are young and
PLASTIC. Pluto said: 'The future of q
nation depends on how you train your
children'.'
8. NJ. Lipscomb, secretary Of the Y.
NJ. C. A, spoke to the young men,
drawing his lesson from the first chap
ter Of John and the first eight verses.
He addressed his remarks especially to
the cadets assembled. His topic was
"Young Savagess or Little Gentle
men, He emphasized the fact that a
gentleman is man who embodIes
trath, r0rity and service. - He took
up each attribute and showed how ne
cessary it was to perfect gentleman
He closed by reciting Kipling's ia
nous poem, al"
The Westminster Cadets attended
the service in a body, and representa-
tives of the different church societies
were present The church seated a
large congregation, a large number OF
whom were young people, no doubt at
tracted by the caption Of Rev. North
rup's address.
