The choir loft was crowded with boys and young men. There was a fair audience, consider! ing the stormy night. The boys lee the singing, under the direction o1~ Mr. Wiggins, and rendered a ringing! chorus. Mr. Dutcher presided at the organ. Jas. Cameron, member of the Boys Parliament for Barrie, gave an address on the workings of the Boys Parliament and what it was! trying to do to help boys. Master; Harry Livingston rendered a comet solo, I Love to Tell the Story." Three members of the Crusaders , Club delivered three challenges. Victor Brown addressed a challenge` to parents. If they thought the church and Sunday School good: things, they should lead the way and The parents might. take more interest in the play of the young) people. The difference in ages need not rob them of the pal-ship with their children which would mean so, much to both. Fred lielland deliver- ed a challenge to the Church. Co- operation was his message and thisl alone meant success to both young` men and the church. Howard Guest gave a rousing challenge to boys and` young men to then and there, right now, consecrate their lives to Christ. The young people of to-day hardly realizr-d their power and the conse- quences of that power if it were turned in the right direction. The Chi-i.:tian life was not an easy one.` It was a great task, a great venture l'or truth and righteousness.
