The'keen observer mhst answer these cjuystious in the negative. win ir win V i:-H?rtTe Sunday s-'h ool N, the church services in general, you will find comparatively speaking, # a few young people.

One of the main reasons why the church is failiny to influence vi?nf.V? 00 if ? l-i - - * ?.. iv .-mi'kiu is amisunder.slandiny of the mind of youth on the part of many of those who am actiny in the capacity of leadership.

The preyer and class meetinys, a church minus "play and amusement lifted to' the level of Christianity, sermons with no messaye for youth and youth's problems, a church of "don'ts" as substitutes for positives will never catch and hold the attention of youth. Youth must be approached on his-own "plane, ,in acciirdam -o with ltw l-m-w of liiv nurn nature, if the church.and the schools are to yive him the medicine ho needs. ments of tip. col I eye youny men and women is that ttwv iln'i p^u?thum selves irt a position to he used by the church.
