Hayes and Mr. Walter Blanchard gave inspiring talks. Evidently the Central- Eastern Region intends to move forward in the young people’s work. The Ebeneezer Associa tion took as their aims for the year 1925-1926. New Unions 6. A-l Unions 5. AA-1 Unions 2. Increase in membership 75. Diplomas and seals awarded 100.

In setting these aims we expect ed the cooperation and help of every church and every Baptist member in the Association. There isn’t a more worthy cause than our Young People’s Christian work.

CLARK 1I y Dean of Men, University of Illinois. ’ • (©, 1824, Western Newspaper Union.) YOUTH MIDDLE age Is less optimistic than youth, less courageous, and meets pain and dangers and discom forts with less fortitude. My neighbor, Harris, shuffled Into the office a day or two ago when the thermometer was registering 96 In the shade and in the sun had pushed its way through the top of the tube. He was mopping a damp brow, breathing heavily, and presenting a general ap pearance of ill temper and dissatisfac tion. "Well, who’s sold you a gold brick this time?” I asked him. "I'm all knocked out today,” he re plied. “It was so blasted hot last night that I couldn't sleep a wink, and I’ll be no good all day.” “The trouble with you, Harris,” I said, "is that you’re growing old.” I’ve known Harris since he was a boy of . ten on the farm. He slept then in the unplastered attic just under the roof. The roof had but one little window in it, and this window gave no ventila tion to the room but served only as a means of entrance of the sun’s pitiless rays that beat cn the roof throughout the long August days and rendered the room a veritable furnace at night. And yet Harris scarcely noticed the heat then. He had youth; he was tired and groggy with sleep when he mounted to bls bed In the attic, and he dropped off almost the moment he touched the hot sheets and slept until he was awakened In the morning by his mother's voice. Now he has a cold shower before going to his pleasant bed In his sleep ing porch. He Ures under the most favorable conditions, but a little rise tn the thermometer puts him out of sorts for en entire day. I vigited Crane in the hospital the other day. He Is middle aged. He has had some minor surgery done on Mm—en Ingrowing toe nail taken off or a boll lanced or something of that sort. He Is as gloomy «g a grave yard, and as Irritable as a teething child. All his plans for the summer have been upset, and the little pain and discomfort he has suffered has put biro on "low.” It was depressing to talk to him. And then I remembered the letter J had from Blum. Blum was at th< front at the beginning of the Gennu drive. He met rain and mud and ver mln with a cheerful laugh; he facet a storm of bullets and blood, anc when he wrote the letter he was lying In a bospltal severely wounded. “Here I am 'sitting on the world,' as the hoys put It,” he wrote. "Nic« white enameled bed. clean white sheets, white blankets and alt Good food; nothing to do but eat and sleep Pretty soft. ''Don't have any worry about me; Pm In clover and haring a good rest Pm ail right; I'm eating like a hors* and kicking because they don’t gira me enough "Lore and good luck to everybody? Ob, youth, youth! Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Cross and lit tle daughter, Mary Frances, cf Sel ma, Ala., are spending a few weeks with thtir parents, Mr, and Mrs. J. H. Cross, near Irwinton.
