try. "Youth Is your chance tu
prepare for the struggles of life,
fr life, no nuilter what way you
look ut it is u battle." continued
the speaker. Also he said, it was
the chance to prepare for oppor
tunities, to be prepared to make
the most of the breaks which come
for by doing the (food turn each
day, the boy Is ready for tho biff
thing when It comou to tho man.
And youth was the chance to pre
pare fur the western side of life
Mr. HjiII based his remarks to
the scouts on the story of the wise
and foolish virgins, a story told in
the language of the day when Jesus
Christ spoke the parable to his
hearers. "Wen He inaklng to
you today, Tie would i-ui'a differ
ent story, no doubt," and conse
quently using the same thoughts
and Ideas. .Mr. Hull gave tho pic
ture of two basketball teams who
went Into tho tournament, one
having kept training carefully,
while the other had been careless.
"The two teams looked very much
of the same calibre and to all out
ward i appearances they ' hud tin
equal chance, but their difference
lay In the fact that they were not
prepared fur an emergency."
Mr. KtoveiiMiii Speaka

clear and concise statement of the
history and workings of the.organ

arranged the program and enlisted
tile youth of Kngland In the cause.
The attention of men in America
'' was cn 1 1 ed to the wo rl h of the
movement when a prominent busi
ness man or Chicago completely
Inst In a London fog was given
direction by a boy scout who ex
plained that he was but doing his
good turn. The movement spread
like wild fire here, according to
Mr. Stevenson, last year UUO.ono
having been enrolled. Fifty per
cent of these t roups are sponsored
by churches of I he United States,
M-i. Stevenson stated.
In describing the program of the
boy scouts, Mr. Stevenson said that
It was Interest giving, fun produc
ing and character making. It
taught the boys, among other
things, methods of living, compan
ionship, citizenship through ser
vice, the learning to do by doing.
