Plea for the Young People of
The Community.


God has planted in the heart of Mr..
Speake peculiar feelings Of sympathy.
Interest and love for young people.
The effect of Gods work in him was
shown last night in Ills appeal to the
young people and their response to
his plea.
Luke 1914 was brought 70 us-sin
and its grasp upon tho young people
on youth in Its heginning. Youth In
buoyancy Of youth doesn't feel It's
need to go in tho strength Of the Lord.
The soul. the heart. the mind Is the
bnttlc ground where the two powers
of the universe wage tao greatest hat
tie that has ever been fought, I,
The young life is played upon by
Elm and this should concern US. God
calls and challenges us to right while
sin Is trying to pull us down. ~ !,
So many Of our youth are swept out
by the world into worldfInesss. Not
worldly things. not things of life, but
spiritual things that are lasting
should conccrn'5 our children: Tic
youths spirit of investigation. ito
know things" cause many OF our
youth to step into impurity, to stop
into hell. .3-. i-;
In short Mr.. Speake. In n message
spiritual and powerful. brought out
tho youths relation to God. the
yontl's relation to youth, and the
youths attitude before the world.
Unless In our youth We know tho vis-
itation OF Gods power we shall never
iattain unto tho heights we could have
won through preparation. Young
people brought into the right and true
who are really n Vital part Of tho right
are by conscience and right accept
ing new principles, walking by new
rulcs toward new ,-iaeals, ciionsing
helpful paths, leaders. and oonpar-
ions. They eyldencei coed principles
by good practices, out In the world
before fellow youth. Tho walk In the
Spirit is not accomplished. without
conflict, but the love of God In. the
hearts OF our young people changes
the entire life. The surest evidence
