Rev. j. B. Green, D. D., pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Green
wood, spoke to the Erskine Y. M. g..
A. last evening. DR.. Green said he
was glad to be with the Due West
Y. M. C. A., and to speak a word
for Christ. He announced his sub
ject as: "Wanted-More Men and
More Man." Jesus was always 60
ing about searching for men. Young
men your King and your country
needs you. Gideon had $4,000 males
but only 800 men. To be man is
what counts. Are you man or just
a male? The great. need is for men.
The greatest service any man can
render is simply to be man. God
wants men in the home. God wants
mel in business to represent Him
there. There are many men making
money, but not for God. God
wants men in the State to interpret
and enforce the law. God wants
men at the ballot box-patriots. If
men had done their duty with the
ballot, the women would not be ask
ing for suffrage. There is need for
men to lead and men to follow. Men
ought to be what they want the boys
around them to be. Wanted-men
pure and holy; men who will not
:iefile themselves in any way. The
first call that comes to US all is to be
MEL. The Church, the Sabbath
School and the Y. M. C. A. are in the
men-making business. These are
some of the good things DR.. Green
said. He fully sustained his repu-
tatlon as a speaker. The young
men of the Y. NJ. C. A., with Miss
McLane at the piano, furnished eX-
cellent music. After the talk at the
Y. N. C. A., DR.. Green preached an
excellent sermon at the A. R. P.
church on From Principles to Per-
fection." Mr.. R. P. Blake, Mrs.
Geo. Bailey, Miss Edna Bailey and
MI. James Bailey of Greenwood, ac-
conpanied DR.. Green on his trip to
Due West.
