What kept Paul from conceit
and .self-satisfaction?
Can Christian gain be attained
without cost? Is your society
at least that leave room for a "better
vear." We can get more action
on finance, and surely we can have
personal work classes in more
than 15 societies.
The report says further, "We
regret that we do not find our
young men as interested and active
and loyal as our young women."
A partial explanation of the
matter seems easy. It takes more
courage for a boy or a young man
to be "religious," attend meetings
and take part, sitting somewhere
else than in the back seats in
church, and be openly against
swearing, unclean talk, and the use
of tobacco.
Apparently, toO' many
of the young men do not have
this extra courage. (Sometimes
the need in country congregations
for the young men to help with
"the chores" may account for their
absence from evening meetings,
but is that what keeps a young
man in the back seat and makes
him hesitate to speak out for the
religious side in public?) A boy
is allowed to do worse things more,'
openly than a girl, and it is all to
the disadvantage of the boy. Only,
