Wellwood, an inspirational address was given by Rev. J. R. Patterson of Orillia on The Call of Isaiah.. Mr. Patterson spoke of the need for spiritual vision in present-day life. He dealt with the call of Isaiah as a three-fold vis- ion. There was in the rst place the prophet s vision of V God, and the speaker emphasized the present need of a similar vision. Second, Isaiah` hada vision of himself and became conscious of_ his sin. Mr. Patterson said there -is a danger of leaving out sin. There is so much social ser- vice work, he said, that we some- times show. a tendency to ignore * sin. The third vision was one of service,,and the speaker urged a re- cognition of this call in the. same spirit in which the prophet answered it. - ` ' Teen Age Work . E. R. Thurlow of Midland, County Secretary of the Y.M.C.A., followed Our Teen Age Boys and Girls, in which he discussed the difficulty of interesting boys and girls in `their early teens when brought" together in the same group.
