What I hops most is that it will make many who have heard or read them in the Press, want to buy the cont pleto report which will be on sale at the Bible Shop in Wyndham Strect for two dollars or so, and is most readable. If a number of the younger men and women would meet to talk over the various re- ports on "The Christian Doctrine of 'God," "Marriage and Sex,” "Race," "War," "The Unity of the Church," "The Future of the Church of England" and "The Vocation of Youth," there is no knowing what a change might not come over this Colony.

The Call to Youth.

Where are the recruits for this crusado The answer is surely obvious. Where should they be lut in the ranks of youth, of those who have life in front of them 7 It is to them that our leaders call. What will be the answer? One would think that youth only needed to know Chriat as He was to want to follow Him.

J.

"There can be no doubt," says the Report of this Committee, "that the general outlook of youth is injuriously affected by a certain type of literature, jour- nalism and public exhibitions which pander to. the lower in stincts of human naturo, destroy the nobler ideals of love and mar ried life and tend to undermine the foundations of sexual. mor ality and human happiness." If it is for these things that youth tevolts to-day then surely that re- volt is of the Devil; and for God's sake let us say so and give up the sentimental uansoneo that every thing which youth does is fine and daring. Youth (and that means I take it anyone under 301 gets quite enough sympathy in these days and it is time there was more straight talking.

Child Education. That is the point on which we must concentrate first. These are days when the whole system of child education is being drastically revis- ed and the teaching in our schools is vastly better than it was twenty years ago. But let us be cloar on this

point-that any education is a failure which does not put first this aim, that every boy and girl shall leave school with ʼn sense of vocution. I do no mean that n particular carber should be decided upon; but the ruling question in a boy's or girl's mind should'. be "How can I best serve my day and generation!" If we begin there, with our children, Utopia will be already on the way. Then when it comes to choosing a career they will ask not What does the world Now there is a great don said We can judge this matter at our

"Ho the Hero Christ-hus al- ways appealed to that in men which loves to do and dare and suffer for great causes, and to that appeal there never fails re- sponse from the young and from all who keep a heart of youth" Yet the response seems to be lack ing.
