we nave something to offer the
young people he said. 1--WE can offer
them the gospel of a free church and
free religion. We also can prove to
them that religion is modern and up-to-
date"
He went on to say that in view of the
fact that young people as a rule look
forts on the part of the minister be-
cause they know it is a professional
matter with him, the laymen of the
church should lead in the work. To ge.
the iaymen interested, he said, the mode
OF church worship. particularly in the
Unitarian Church. should be more CON
gregational He recommended that the
practice Of simply having the ministe err
and choir conduct the devotional serv-
ices be done away with and that all
the congregation be made to feel as
though they really have a part in the
worship.
DR.. Eliot said that those whom he

PUBLIC MEETING TONIGHT

Declaring that the future of the
church as a whole depends upon the
young people and that there should be
continual efforts to always have an in
f1ux of new life into the church. Rev
Frederick NJ Eliot. president of the
Young Peoples Religious Union, in an
address before the Unitarian confer

urged that strenuous efforts be made
to interest young people in the work
of the church.
Some of the greatest work ahead of
the Unitarian Church. at least, is
among it's young people," said Dr.
Eliot. They have been drifting away
from US, but we must bring them into
the church to keep up it's spirit and
genius and to prepare for it's future
domination. Without the aid of its
young people Of today the church faces
a leaderless tomorrow
DR.. Eliot went on to say that in the
work of enlisting the services Of the
young people for the church the in

CALL FOR STATISTICS
WRITER WANTS MORE FIGURES
 AS TO THE AUTO.
Its Real Effect on the Life of the Ma. tion Has Not Been Made Suf-
 fieiently Plain.

Economists with a passion for ana. lyzlng figures have fertile field for study in the automobile statistics pre-. pared by the United States department of agriculture. To say that last year there were 2,4i5,664 motor vehicles registered in the United States and that the owners paid SlS,245,71S in registration and license fees is the smallest part of the story.
 To boast that in Iowa there was one motor vehicle for every sixteen in. habitants is to testify to the farmers prosperity, which has been no secret. But how much of the hundreds of mil lions of dollars invested in automobiles is productive investment for the own. CTS? How much of it represents ex- penditures for pleasure that brings no economic return? How far has the automobile contributed to economies in business? How much has it added to the general cost of living. in the pro. motion of luxury and ease among all classes of people? In the creation of new industries and new occupations for wage-earners?
 To make up balance sheet for the whole nation would be an endless task. Before it was begun the figures would be out of date. There was an increase of 734 ,325 motor vehicles in 1914 alone in the United States.
 Some day, however, a social survey revolving around the automobile must be made. Everything else connected with the family income and the family expenditures has been tabulated turned over and scrutinized. It still remains to be settled positively what Is the minimum wage on which respec' table American. faithful to modern standards of living, can keep a car.- New York World.
