13 EVERY EVENING WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1916. A Bird's Eye View of Our Tract at 350 ATTEND THE MIIUL BANQUET OF THE y. M. C.

S. 9 MWE J. SOUTH two sons are to grow up knowing that it is possible to be Christians without having wallowed in the mire once. "The Y. M.

C. A. is helping to accentuate hat 1 term the newest prophecy in religion. I don't believe that the lino of prophets ended with the Bible. There have leen prophets every jear.

But surely our Christian folk see the utter folly" of trying to cope with evil situations with a segregated religion. We have no less than 146 sects in this country; 21 kinds of Luthemnism, IS different kinds of Methodism, 14 kinds of Ba-tist faith, and 13 kinds of Presbyterians. Christianity must face the twentieth century unitedly, or face the liability of getting licked. "Segregated sects look to me like a jitney theology. Here we are, men of different denominations, gathering together to face the problems of moral welfare of Wilmington, and not a single jar.

I have lecn in active Y. M. C. A. life for 30 years, and have never heard of one squabble on denominational lines.

It was in the form of what is commonly called a "talk, by Fred B. Smith, Fccretarv to the president of the Johns-Manville Co. of New York Citv, but in reality it was something more than a talk. It was the fearless annunciation of bold assertions. 'Pymn.

wiped out, and the licensed saloon, parasite on society, must be rooted out." Mr. Smith, in his work, has traveled an average of miles a year, and says he has never been in a car with the wheels off the track. He has given un active work with the Young Men's Christian Association to go about and proclaim the principles outlined above. Charles W.

One of the big moves was to have it in the Hotel du 1 ont, instead of following the usual custom to hold it in the association's Again, the attendance was greater than ever liefore. and predictions were made that next year the big dining room itself would have "to le enlarged, or the doors opened and some tables spread outside. Mr. Smith announced that the good old-time religion had been in his family since its members left the shores of Scotland, and that he intends to pass it on as long as he has strength to do so. It was this thing of religion that he challenged his young men hearers to take up with nil their hearts.

Hut. first, he made his hearers understand that he was talking alout real religion. Then, showing his enthusiasm for the "real product" and hi disdain for what, some have made it to lo. he proceeded to mercilessly flay some of the present-time exponents of "evangelism." WHAT THE T. M.

C. A. MENS. The speaker was on the list to speak about "Some of the Deeper Significances of Y. M.

C. A. Life." He rehearsed a multitude of facts about the activities accomplishments and enlargements of the work of this institution. Then he explained some of the accomplishments that cannot be put into statistics. First, the Y.

M. C. A. has been helping to emphasize the masculine note in religion "There has been an impression creeping out," he said, "that for a man to be downright religions there must bo a kind of efienumsm somewhere about him. If we don't look out, this country will lvniue stampeded with a shallowed and superficial religion." He spoke of the decline of some of the ancient powers, "when they were in military powre de luxe, but morally bad inside." "I don't believe the overshadowing dancer of tins country is the facing of gun-- by another country.

No nation has yet gone under through the effects of guns pointed at it by another power. None of the European nations will go out; the map wni remain fundamentally the same.
