Stephenson, pastor OF Temple Bap-
fist church, told Kiwanians yester-
day that when young people were
bad it was because they saw their
elders doing the same things.
Mr.. Stephenson, Kiwanian in
Madison, Ind, told members of the
club that the church could play a
big part in this training and that
the only way to create a good
church program was to grow it as
the younger members of a eongre-
cation grow.
He said it was very difficult to
get the interest of the young people
in church services unless they had
part in them.
Mr.. Stephenson uses, he said, as
one method, sleight Of hard tricks
to point out a moral.
For instance the oriental prayer

to the club, which consists OF
small necked glass vase and piece
of sash cord. In the trick, the rope
