 n. eetings from the boys Of France were brought by Guerin Desiardin, q French national Boy Scout and Y. M, C. A executive. A solo by Bertram Powers followed and in turn was fol- lowed by a lecture The Imperial Leader" by Rev. A, w Beaven. MT, Beaven said; The most people who have money Tn this country are those who started out to do something big and the money came of its own ac- cord. The fellows who start out to make the money, only, are most likely to sell out the very thing they most desire, in order to get 1t"
 Gcrmany's Error
 He told how Germany had weighed the military power of the allies, but that her mistake was because she failed to weigh the soul of the na- tions. The shooting of Edith Cavell and the sinking of the Lusitania let loose the moral forces of the two countries which contributed to her defeat
 Religions Success.
 He continued:
 The question as to whether re- ligon succeeds is not a matter of concern merely to the church. Man and everybody will be helped if it succeeds, and everyone will be hurt if it fails.
 For instance social stability de- bends on the moral idealism of the citzens. Solid business depends on the honor of the men in it. Credit rests on faith, in the integrity of the individual units of the commercial world. Political success in a democ- racy depends entirely on the moral conscience which animates the aver age voter. ..m.
 Again public health is dependent or the moral code of its citizens. Low standards of purity in a com munity cause infidelity with it's com plement of broken homes and chill dren reared without the proper safe guards. Immortality in parenthood results in less children as diseased blood in the father as a result of sexual sin is one of the greatest causes of sterile homes. Immortality in parents causes a larger percentage of insane, feebleminded, epileptic children 10 be born Public health may be said to vary directly with public morality,
 "All profit therefore by a high moral code in a country and all pay the bills if it is lacking, But how produce moral character. There is no other way of producing such quantity or quality of moral charac- ter in an individual that compare with religion. Get a person to love and follow the perfect Christ and you will get more vital morality than teaching that person all the moral codes in literature, Morality does not consist in knowing the good but in being willing to do the good. Re- ligion furnishes the inspiration for the latter.
 "One of the common forms of in door sport today is criticising the church. Part of it is deserved. But where can you find any other insti- 1 tuition doing more or better than this | task of moral instruction that society needs for its preservation. The very men who stand aloof and criticise depend on its product. The very next man they hire if they are em- poyers will be worth more to them If honest and truthful, but what are they doing to produce man like that |
 Men who criticise the church | wouldn't live long in a community | where there wasn't one. They | wouldn't dream of rearing their fam ily in some pagan country where the church had never been, at least not unless they had to.
 "The church with all its faults Is the largest, most helpful institution on earth and deserves. the support of every right minded syoung man. Moreover 1t deserves the best leader ship the growing men of this genera ton can give if.
