conferences. It. is hoped that
there (are but few parents who
think of them in terms of useless
ness. Their aid in establishing
solid foundations and cementing
together Christian ideals in " a
boy's life, can never be overval
ued. After attending a confer
ence, life has a 'newer aspect. No
longer, is it so difficult to fight
temptations; no longer does, sel
fishness, become the dominating
element in life, but is superseded
by a desire to do service. More
time is devoted to Christian living.
Can anyone tell us of a more flu
ting and proper place for us to
gather than in these meetings?
There s no doubt I that the les
sons learned are going to be reg

this organization. Gambling can
never exist under our codes . of
ethics.
The moral of it all comes to
this: Do not rely on false infor
mation and misrepresentation for
getting at the true facts. VisiC
these clubs, then give them your
hearty support and backing. You
can then rest assured that your
efforts are being appreciated and
that your work is building a na
tion of Christian boys.
