For my subject l viii! take "Christianity.
Christianity is the greatest factor in the his
tory of any country or individual. IF per
son is true Christian he can he trusted
and depended on. Christianity is good for
the young people. 1T throws the right kind
of Influence around them and encourages
them to greater efforts for their own good
as well as others. Christians are always
ready 10 help others, to encourage them aud
make their lives more beautiful. 1t has
often been said, Dent mix politics and re-
ligion. But l believe when the political
pot is boiling every particle Of Christian ill.,

should be put there. No organization or
country is greater than the individuals that
compose it, The reason the United states
is the great country it is is because it is
a Christian country, because in ObeyinG the
mandates Of Christianity it is ever ready
to lend a helping hand. In time Of earth

we wish our. country to be great and grand
we, the young peOpe, should be trained and
should be Christians and work for the
establishment of Christianity throughout the

cornerstone upon which the world is built,
and if, for any reason, Christianity should
lose it's sway, then the greatness of our cOUn-
