Sunday Afternoon Meeting

AT the conclusion of q stirring talk
by Rev. E. A. Pollard Jones of Water
vile at the Sunday afternoon meet
ing, which was held at the Congrcga-
! tlonal church. while the bows remained
with bowed heads following a PRAYER.
at tie request of the speaker nearly
@oo boys stood up one at a time and
expressed their determination to accent
Iod and to live Christian life by the
sihpie words Il Will" 1t was indeed
an inspiring sight to hear these bovs
one. at time from different parts of
the church pledge themselves in these
two short words to a different and
better life.
Pledge cards were then passed 10
each delegates and 1923 of them, after
writing his name and address, pledged
himself to some sort Of Christian sery-
Ice or TO living a cleaner and better
life.
The meeting opened with devotional
services and a song service led by jeff
G.. Smith, State Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
and friend of every boy at the confer
ence. w. w. Quinton of Waterville,
agent of the Lockwood mills. presided.
In his address Rev. Jones said that
this is busy age and that no one has
any use for a lazy boy or man. But
in the past 1000 years people have al
ways been busy earning their bread
and butter. Christ taught that IL is
necessary to seek the Kingdom of
Heaven and that that is more impor-
tant han striving to prolong our earth
ly existence. Everyone belongs to the
Kingdom of Heaven and wants IL. He
who does not is in danger and is alb
normal. The normal boy takes part in
the church life and does his bit. The
me who does not is abnormal.
The boys who says that he has no
time for this sort Of work, that he
wants to be free and have a good
time, is fooling himself because he be-
comes n slave to the passion for a
good time.
Youth wants that truth and that Is
good thing. but 1t is not necessary for
a boy to know all about Christianity
to accept God. The speaker declared
that he was offering them something

all to gain and nothing to lose

consecated fathers who realize the
sanctity of the American home. Pol
itics and business must be purified by
christian men and IL is only through
hose who accept Christianity that the
-ohibition law will ever become really
Tective.
After the pledge cards had been
yned the meeting was concluded with
song and prayer.

Saturday Morning Session

At $50 Saturday morning. the
: delegates assembled at the ConGre-
gational church for. q short devo-
tional meeting and song service. The
| newly elected president, Donald
Hewett of this city. presided over the
meeting. The song service was led
by John Taylor of Camden and the
devotions by Prof. f. c. Libby. Ii
brarian at Colby college.
At 8 o'clock the gathering separ-
ated into three groups, at which
! different phases of work were dis
/ cussed. The group relating to
! Young Peoples Societies met at the
Unitarian church with Thomas H.
Leonard of Auburn, city boys work
secretary. presiding. Rev. Alexan-
der Henderson Of Fairfield. was the
speaker at this group meeting.
Mr.. Henderson spoke of the
Youn- Peoples Society movement
which was originated at the Willis
ton Street church in Portland on
February 2. 1881. under the leader
ship of DIR. +. c. Clark. This was
the formation of a Christian En-
deavor Society and from this small
start have sprung today over SS,-
600 young peoples societies with a
/ combined membership Of over j.
000,O0 Other societies run on these
the Epworth League, the Baptist
Young Peoples Union and the
Young Peoples Christian Union.
The movement has encircled the
world until there is now hardly q
country where the young people
have not organized to help in the
work OF the church. This Is q day
of religious youth movements fol-
lowing in the wake of the war.
which should challenge the interest
of youth" said the speaker.
He told the boys what the young
peoples societies should mean to
them. First he declared that they
should help the boys to discover
themselves. Boys have powers and
talents of which they are not aware
and the societies should help to un-
cover these talents.
The societies should help In the
growth of the spiritual life through
intelligent reading and study of the
Bible and through cultivation Of the
habit OF prayer. They should help
to put religion into active use as re-
iigion is OF little use II 1t cannot be
put to work. Roger Babson. the

tunity for Christian service through
a young peoples society.
The best friendships OF ones life
should be formed in these societies
Many happy couples trace the be-
ginning of their friendship to the
young peoples society. They should
help to accomplish the task OF ths
church, by bringing heaven to earti
and not by merely getting ready fo'
heaven. They should help to saw
the social order as well as to saw.
the soul.
Mr. Henderson urged the boys te
return to their societies and help
them to understand intelligently the
work of their denomination and to
help the societies to do real work
for their church.
At the group devoted to Sunday
school Problems. Arthur A. Head OF

learn to be a pianist. II he will
practice finger exercises and scales
for many weary hours he will in
time become a good musician but ii
will not travel that narrow road OF
scales and finger exercises and pre-
fers the broad path that is easy at
the time, he will find that in later
life the scope Of his work will be
much smaller.
: He declared that we feel man,
: times that there is a great Judge
somewhere in ~the universe who
amuses himself by making laws for
] mortals to follow and that if we can
get by without living up to those
laws we are being clever. This is
not the truth however, but those
laws are the laws which explain life
and which cannot be ignored with
safety.
{; The speaker told OF his own case
and of the narrow life that he Was
Obliged to lead in his early ministry
and the many disappoinfrnents
which he had. He explained That
this was necessary that be might
get vision of that broader life
which is beginning to unfold now be-
fore him.
In closing Mr.. Crane stated that the
church, the Y. NJ. c. A. and those 9TH
er organizations which are doing SINH
lar work are showing. to the people of
the world a way to a broad fulfIiment
Aof life, but that because of the laws
which he had spoken of these ways
must necessarily be narrow.
The boys formed in a long line at
the conclusion of the. meeting and
marched to the State Capitol where a
conference photograph was taken,
shortly after IL o'clock.
Dr. Seerley was the speaker at the
leaders club banquet which was held
at the banquet hall of the Augusta
House about l o'clock He spoke to
! the men as leaders of the young bows
of their community and told them
many things they did not know about
the mental impressions which are
formed by children at early ages.
: He said that children begin to ac-
quire, mental impressions before they
apparently think to any extent. He
declared that these mental impressions
which they get from their parents and
the people with whom they are sur
rounded become part of their life.
They absorb these impressions before
they are developed enough to tell the
. good from the bad and therefore it is
1 of the greatest Importance that the
leaders should be careful of the i'm
pressions they create.
! AS much attention should be paid to
the impressions which a child is al
lowed to receive as to his diet. They
must be guided, but at the same time
they must not be too closely limited OF
their will power will suffer in after
years. They must be allowed to de-
velop initiative, but in the right direc-
ton.
! Youth is the time when We are lay
ing the foundation for the child's flu
| ture welfare and it is we'll to remem-
Der that his life will lated be dominat-
ed by these impressions, which may
be for the best or may do him the
greatest of harm. Many detectives,
the speaker declared are but persons
whose mind has been crippled by the
, impressions of childhood, through no
/ fault of their own.
