YOUTH MUST CURB
SELF, HUGHES SAYS
Cannot Ignore "Substantial
Things" He Tells Vaughn
Bible Class.

| day cannot afford to put aside those
| substantial things of life," Secretary
! of State Charles Evans Hughes out
lined what he considered the things
most worth while in an address before
| the Vaughn Bible Glass of the CAL
! vary Baptist Church, at a banquet in
| the Sunday school room Of the church
| last night. The occasion marked the
| thirty-fourth annual banquet of the
| class.
I'VE are all seeking to make the
| most of the great adventure we call
| life" declared Secretary Hughes. ITO
day we have life more abundantly
than ever before, better nourished,
more completely safeguarded, enriched
beyond the imagination Of past gem
erations No one should look askance
upon the eagerness and zest with
which youth seizes upon It's oppor-
| tunity," continued Mr.. Hughes.
Need OF Pofse Seen
''The Master came that we might
have life, and that we might have 1t
more abundantly,' he said. 1--WE must
have it's JOY. its untiring pursuits, Its
fresh victories. But, SO far as the
tendency Of our time is toward an in
crease Of nervous irritability, so far
as there is disclosed want Of self
control, q lack of poise and mastery,
the sacrifice of the more perman ent
interests and satisfactions to others
that are transient and corrupting, we
find not only cause for regret, but the
need of bringing UP reinforcements
through the consideration of what is
best"
What is most worth while?
Health is, for one thing. do not
mean simply the abounding vigor of
youth with abundance of fresh air
and exercise, with its reserves which
seem to mock the warnings OF elders.
mean, rather, the sustained and pro-
tected strength which is based on the
conservation Of physical resources
and gives promise of long life well
lived.
knowledge is worth while. The
world Is more interesting than ever
before. The history of the past Is at
our command with an extraordinary
fullness. The conditions of life in
all countries and among all peoples
are graphically before US. Art and
literature make the most generous
provisions. knowledge and contem-
plation can lift us above the drudgery
of daily work." he said.
Loyalty Worth While.
Loyalty is worth while. Some day
you will value most the friendships
that have lasted, the ties that are
never loosed.
Character Is worth while. Not an
assumption Of superiority, not mar
rowness of vision, not fixity of habit.
but dependableness, self-respect and
sense of honor.
Faith is worth while. We need its
support as we face the disorders of
life, the mysteries Of the universe.
"A truly Christian character" he
said, "is revealed in q balanced life.
Many years ago I attempted to sug-
gest to you its quality. Let me re-
peat what I said then for II sums up
what 1 would always have in the
minds of those who are trying to live
abundantly and well. What does the
Christian character or balanced life
mean? It Is this: ...
Faith without credulity: convic-
tion without bigotry: charity without
condescension; courage without pug
nacity; self-respect without vanity;
humility without obsequiousness love
Of humanity without sentimentality,
and meekness with power. That Is
our ideal"
