At the morning service Mr. Livermore’s theme was “Life’s Great Decisions,” 1-Ie dealt with the theme largely in its relationships wit-h the teen age members ef the school. I-Ie fascin’ated the boys with the story of his own boy life and their hidden haunts or shelter which a group of biSys used to visit every Saturday, He stressed in his morn­ ing’s message the necessity of the choice of truth even if one must lose. rr /■ . - -----the game in such, a choice. As the f TT e below,, the outcome of ail choosing he had t in view the great end. ‘.‘So that II might finish my course with joy,” He again addressed the children in the open sesson of the school in the afternoon. He has a remarkable gift in vivid story telling, which, stories he applies with clearifess and vigor. At the evening service he spoke on one of the neglected themes of the gospel. He set forth with strik­ ing vividness the power of Christ’s indignation against the evils of his day. Christ -was still a young man and the spirit of indignation finds] its fullest outlet and expression in young life. With the coming of age 1 we look more calmly and cooly on the 1 evils of the times, 1 - - - young men and women of-today are | Iv -in the leadership of today it must 1 be while they have the enthusiasm of I , youth.
