YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE CHURCHES

Rev. DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, noted radio
preacher and president of the Federal Council of
Churches Of America would not usually be con-
sidered an alarmist. But he told the ministers of
New York city few days ago. that the Protestant
churches are losing their grip on the young people
of adOlsseent age, more than at any time in 500
years
Many may differ from that point of view, but
many have been issuing the same warning. Much
of the blame for such conditions may rest with the
young people, but the churches also are partly to
blame for IT,
The young people Of today extremely in
dependent, and while that is a good thing up to a
certain point, yet they often carry it far to
wholly disregard the lessons of human experience,
and think that institutions that have been useful
for centuries should all at once be smashed. The
human race never made progress that way.
Bat If the churches wish 10 win the young
people. they need to dwell less assent to GER
tain ereeds and make the improvement of human
conduct their main aim. That was what Jesus
Christ came to the world for With all their ex-
travagances the young people of each generation
bring the stage a certain fresh point of view.
and they clearly abuses to which the older
have become accustomed and tolerate too easily.
The rivalry and duplication of effort of
Christian denominations is feature that offends
many Of these young people. 1t looks wasteful
and un-Christian TO them. They say that if two or
a number of religious organizations have SINH
lar point Of view, they should give mp their sep
Hrate associations, and strengthen their cause by
uniting in one organization. That method achieves
results in all forms of human activity, and ii is
needed in religion to win back these young peo-
pie.

THE RETURN FOR PRIVILEGES

Young people who finishing the work of
schools and colleges do not always realize how
much has been furnished to them free gift.
These educational privileges represent the toll and
sacrifice of taxpayers, and the abundant generosity
of,phanthropists.
college student may think that when he has
paid for his board and room and tuition, he has
paid for everything. That is not so, because so
much of the cost of these institutions is paid for
by hard earned tax money, by endowments and in
some instances, contribution of equipment.
Having received such overwhelming benefits,
ii is up TO each new class of young people in Key
West TO make return in the form of community
service.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
palm Beach Times)


The story of another near tragedy of crcum-
stantial evidence coming from the little town of
Walnut Ridge, Ark, revives the old question of
whether person convicted solely on such evidence
should pay the supreme penalty.
Last Thursday afternoon Seymore Christie, a
contractor well past middle lfe sat in the prisoners
box charged with murder in the first degree.
Inside the court railing before him sat his two
daughters and his wife, all indicted for completely
in the crime.

but the air was charged with the fiery condemna-
ton of the murderer in the prosecuting attorneys

The confession was investigated. 1t proved
