STANLEY JONES Evangelist Emphasizes Need Of Cooperation If Life Is to Be Success "If we can come to the youth of today with sincerity and purpose, they will listen to us." With this answer to a query submitted by some unknown questioner, Dr. E. Stanley Jones, known far and wide for his missionary and evangelistic activities, opened his talk last eve ning at St. Paul M. H. church. The building was packed as Dr. Ray F. Hunt, of the First Christian church, introduced the speaker. "Some of us have grown old, and forgotten what wc were in our own youth. We can't expect youth to take life seriously if It finds the older people mad about triviali ties," continued Doctor Jones. "The thing that Is bothering me about the young people of today Is that they are not challenging us insist ently. They have a tendency to alt In conferences and pick us to pieces, and then leave It at that." When asked Tor his opinion of the book, "Mothe,- India," Doctor Jones expressed the belief that It was not a fair presentation of the conditions In India. "Ii ' .:.!'-. some truths, but It Is not .: ...i;li. I should like to flrbld It outside In dia, and make every Indian read It." That there Is a center in life which we must catch If we are to catch life Itseir, was the opinion of the evangelist and missionary. A great flywheel In a power plant goes around smoothly and silently. But let It get oft' center, and It will tear Itself to pieces. Everything that is not Christian In life Is ec centric, and shakes itself to pieces.

Necessity will compel landladies and hamburger stands to take measures to protect their engineer clients If senior mechan ical eriglneers carry to a success ful conclusion their avowed intent of being the only one hundred per cent mo-'istached class to graduate this June. Faint traces of something tinde flnable have for some time been showing upon certain engineers' upper lips. Some passershy may have even had the audacity to think that these were grease spots carelessly left after an afternoon ln the power laboratory. The own ers of these promising young or naments to be, are appreciative of the fact that many great enter prises have been carried on tinder difficulties. They are willing to be martyrs to such a noble cause. All varieties of moustaches are dlscernable. Some are yet. In the embryonic stage and of yet un classified species. Others boast a bristly growth and are quite able to stand up for themselves. Some are blond, some are brown or au burn and a few black to match the wearers' hair. All, however, belong to the same family, which family is growing with amazing rapidity. Ornaments Mark Others A certain difficulty is liable to arise over the action of the me chanical engineers. It is that cer tain other persons, having grown their own moustaches don't want to part with them and at the same time are not envious of being pointed out as engineers when they perhaps have some other pet call ing. P.ut even as there Is no l:w against growing moustaches there Is none against shaving them jatt. This Is Just a hint to those af fected. After graduation futures long, silky moustaches ate seriously lu doubt for they are apt to form entangling alliances with machin ery upon the least provocation. Not only do such entanglements niln the moustaches but also cause undue anxiety to their owners. O'her kinds kept well on the Hp j merely look Impertinent and are I really harmless.
