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.
