In the morning Dr. Thornton spoke on "Facing Facts." He urged; his hearers not to be afraid of facing things, to take one's courage in one's hand and go right up to the thing that was 'troubling one and, it might be that the trouble would be found not to loom very large. "There are a great nnany things which' will frighten us to death unless we face them; and overcome them," he said. Faith in Cod and a willingness '•to face the truth and deal with it will carry us through. In the evening he spoke on "A Trip to' • Nazareth with the. Boy Jesus, and spoke of giving to young People dhe leaderships and encouragement needed as they ga out:'te face life's problems.

He said he had tun.' around' with an ice cream freezer„for, years under the delusion that you had to .befeeding young people ice cream and cake to keep them in the church. It was a mistake., Young •people expected the ehurch,e' their religious leaders., to measare up to a high standard. of Christian Iife and then they wanted religious leadership from them.: So- cial life had its ,,place, but it should. be. a subordinate place in church ae- trvitres.
