vi Augusta, VINO Is Taking an Active
Part in state Convention.
THE types of organization of boys
are three fold. First. the welfare type,
which touch certain phases of life,
which seek to dominate the boys leis-
ure time thus preventing evil. Such
organizations are represented by the
Boy Scouts and Boys Brigade. both of
which have proven helpful and sue
cessful in church work with boys.
Second. the semi religious type, which
seems to teach and find expressions
for the religious impulse through rit-
uaI and service This is exemplified in
the Knights of King Arthur and
Knights of ST. Paul, both of which are
in successful operation in Maine. The
tendency seems to be fore the boy to
outgrow both the welfare and the semi
religious types of boys organizations
and on the nart of the church and Sun
day school there is a growing sense of
the need of a boys organized Bible
class. This will include the common
forms of activities used to develop
the religious impulse and also makee a
strong appeal to the recreational ma
ture and boys deesire to render SER
vice. The working ont OF the plan IN
wolves the use of a proper program,
adequate leadership. and careful study
of the field. The State Young Mems
Christian Association and the Lay
mems Federation are both at the SER
vices EFF all Interested workers who
desire help along any of the lines of
effort
Mr. Eeald gave illustrations fitting to
each topic discussed. IF you want to

a little exploring. go at it scientifically,

things that are the best forsthe child.
Childhood in the world gives some
thought and attention for the little
folks. People did not use to consid.
ct the needs of the children, now they
are awakening to the fact that the
interests of the child is a very essen
tial matter" Mrs. Rryner was greet
ed with applause as she concluded her
address.
AT go, Arthur A. Heald delivered
an address on Boys Work" Mr.
Heald's talk was listened to with
great interest. An abstract is as fol-
lows: The church of today needs
every available source of power in the
prosecution of its work. The boy en-
ergy of the state is not being utilized.
IL is tremendous in it's quality and
quantity, and is available by the use
of proper organizations. An organiza-
ton in itself is not of greatest worth
but il is an essential part of the
plan. An organization Is like the
harnesses that we fasten To the horses

horse and the harness, If we are TO

forms of growth ale possible to it,
The latter type is what is most
