M. Gase, pastor of the Cen tral Presbyterian church, to members of the Real Stuff club in Guild hall Tues day night. The Real Stuff club is an independent group of 110 college men organized to handle the talks of .Mr. Adam and, as a member declared, "to stimulate thought in men nt Oregon on something besides sports and classes nnd dances.” Mr. Case described Mr. Adam, with whom he has had a long friendship, as ‘‘a mun, and a mun of powerful personality, a man who really makes his hearers think.” "I am confident he will accomplish the aim of the cluh,” he continued, “which I understand is to make the men think on the moral aspects of their life, and of the truly vital things of which they are so often only dimly conscious. Mr. Adam will make you think and he will not beg your pardon for doing so. He is of the type possessing supreme physical vitality and when you grip his hand you know there is no mollycoddle on the other end of it. “Long will I remember the perfect tor rent of fire he turned on his listeners in St. Louis where I first heard him. But he is not of the Billy Sunday type. But he is a powerful speaker and is ample of girth not only physically but mentally. Student Volunteers Meet.
