Y. M. c. A. GET-ToGETHER
 DISCUSSES MANS INFLUENCE

Starting with the passage in Genesis, "Am I My Brothers Keeper" a very in- teresting discussion was held at the local '. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon at the weekly Get Together" After a lively song service, scripture reading and prayer, the topic was taken up, and many in the audience took active part which naturally made the Sour intense ly interesting and profitable Among the many points brought out in the discussion were the following, That event though man desired to, it is practically inpos- sible for him to live an isolated life even the hermit is n1inistered unto by someone; the scripture, Romans 14.7, "No man liveth unto himself is as true today as when it was written by the inspired writer. No man is so independent in money or position that he does not need the help of others; the richest man de- bends upon the miner, the farmer, the mill hand etc. Every man is responsible to an extent for the happiness of others, for as I am dependent upon other for my happiness so must recognize that owe contribution to the happiness of the other fellow. A mans influence is twe- fold. positive and negative; the only in 1uence often does harm. A man has a conscious and an unconscious influence, and he is responsible for both God will hold every man responsible for the in- fuence he exerts in the world. as indi- cated by the words of Jesus, ''It were better that a nillstone be hanged about his neck, and that he was cast into the midst of the sea, than that he offend one of these little ones. No man has right to do as he pleases, if in any way he inter- feres with the happiness of others, there fore, it is a rare occasion when a man has 8 right to drink intoxicating liquor, for generally speaking. in doing so he makes others unhappy, and also does
 himself an injury. While smoking will probably not send man to hell, yet
 probably no man who smokes would ad- wise a boy or young man to begin. Pro-
 fanity was termed the most foolish o1
 habits. in that It's does not give ever
 momentary pleasure, and 1t is direct sin against God. The passage in Thessa. lonians 5:21-22, was suggested as a good
 motto for men to live by: Prove al
 things; hold fast that which is good ah-
 stain from all appearance of evil.''
 At the conclusion of the discussion,
 pleasant social period was enjoyed, anC
 light refreshments were served
