D. Strong spoke to the young men of the city Sunday night and it was a lecture worth hearing. He is not of the opinion that every boy that is full of life and energy, and who sometimes does things in the exuberancy of youth that is not according to the ideas of the older folks is going to the bad. The impression that he was trying to make was that the world loves a man and that to be called a man by ones neighbors was the greatest recommendation that one could receive. During his lecture he had occasion to" refer to Sunday base ball.

He did not berate the players or the spectators, but told the older members not to be to harsh in their criticism, to just look back into their youth and see if they didn't play ball on Sunday or do something equally as bad. His idea is if you don't want the young men to hours Friday. Edith, and Frank Johns went Mrs. C. E.
