For League Of Right Kind.
DR.. Boyd explained at the begin.
ming Of his address that his subjec
Lost Gods" would be better desig.
mated as "Old Gods For New" Com
parison was made of life today with
the psychology Of the time Of Aladdin
whose wife was eager to exchange
the old and furnished lamp that haG
served her husband e,Thfully, for the
new and brightly FURNISHED vessel
which was untried, but which shone
with the artificial luster of vulgarity
The foreign situation from Amer.
ica's standpoint was brought forcibly
to the minds of the audience.
II am for league of nations" ex.
planned DR.. Boyd, "but we must be
assured that the nations entering the
pact are honest and as sincere In
their agreements to the terms as is
this country. We must know that
their understanding Of the terms is
the same as our understanding, in
order to guarantee a lasting peace
He emphasized the fact that Europe
does not need the charity of Amer
lea. Europe needs work. And a
chance to get on her feet again is the
only thing they ask this country to
help in gaining for them.
Charity from America not only
wealkens them, but lowers u.s." he con-
tinued. 1T is easy for the giver to
be come a snob.
Give Armenia Chance.
'It is not our work to cultivate our
form of civilization in Armenia. Give
that country a chance to develop her
own form of civilization. Give her
our protection, for it is criminal to
allow life to exist when hope has been
cut Off"
DR.. Boyd scored the government at
Washington in several humorous
anecdotes.
An American audience is the easi-
est in the world to bring to tears,
but it is also the hardest to make
think a problem thru to the end"
said DR.. Boyd. 1--WE leave our think
ing for the government in Washing
ton to do. and that department does
not function that member"
In his talk to the class, Rev. Mr..
Boyd admonished them to be slow in
throwing away the ideals and beliefs
Of their childhood. and in picking up
the new, untried cults and doctrines
because they shine with a glow that
is later found to be the luster Of vul-
garity.
Look ahead Of you, and up" he
said in closing, "and then watch your
step. It may make you cross eyed
but it will get you there"
Rev. James A. Laurie had charge OF
the devotionals, and a chorus Of girls
sang Sparkling Sunlight" their ap-
pearance being very pretty In white
middies and skirts and black ties
Miss Cecal Nodland, Miss Zelma ST.
lence and Robert Montieth sang, 20
Memory" their voices blending in
excellent harmony. Miss Cecal Nod
land sang the verses Of the class song
the class joining in the choruses
Miss Nodland displayed very sweet
soprano voice. .
