Young Peope's Society, choosing as
his topic. "The Revolt of Youth. Mr.
Mortensen spoke in calm and SIN
cere manner, pointing out that there
is longing and awakening in the
hearts Of many young people for some
thing greater and more satisfying
than materialism-not to cast away
the good that their parents had ex-
perienced and taught them-but to
add to that which makes for a fuller
and richer life. He was accorded
close attention throughout his lee
ture by the audience which filled the
building. The local branch of the
Young Peoples Society decided to ex-
tend an invitation to have Miss Dag

of the Young Peoples Societies. The
evening was rounded out with the
playing of ring games. Mr.. Mortensen
wi lecture again this evening (Thurs-
