full of pep, right to the point,
and outlined the community's

problems. Over 80 men and

Mr. Rippel led the boys in
singing several hymns, after

message of the story to the
lives Of the boys before him.
He was followed by Mr.. Litch-
fielt-who emphasized the clean
life of the true man, as the j.

for himself. The whole matter

life, and pointed to Christ as
the helper of every boy who
prays.
