NORWICH BOYS IN Four Present Interesting Papers on Different Phases of Work at Conference in Methodist Church—Valuable Sugges- SUNDAY SCHOOLS| - tions From the Viewpoint of the Young Men. T#ur original papers, covering top- les ting to the attendance of boys at church and Sunday school, were the festure numbers in the programme of a oonferemce held Friday evening at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church under the auspices of the boys' work committes of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. The conference had an attendance of 85, including representatives from the older boys of the schools, boys’ work committees of the church, Sunday school superin- tendents and workers with boys in general. Th nference began with a supper served at 6.16 by the Ladles' Aid so- eiety of the church, and for the pro- gramme that followed J. B. Stanton, chatrman of the committee, was toast- master, After the singing of the hymn, Blest Ba the Tie That Binds, the in- vocation was offered by Rev. . W. Coleman, pastor of the church. Chair- man Stanton then made some intro- | ductory remarks upon The Scope of Boys' Work, indicating how there was both a physical and social side to it. Why Older Boys Don't Attend Church. He introduced David L. Bacon to present the first of the papers upon Why Pon't the Older Boys Attend Church Services? Should They Be There? Mr. Bacon spoke as follows: 1f a boy's father went to church reg- | ularly the boy himseif would be en- couraged to go oftener. The father is the small boy's ideal; he serves as model whhich the boy tries to follow both in the home and elsewhere. We have learned from several lec- turers that the leader is the model which the gang tries to imitate, and that without a good leader the gang can_do practically nothing. Apply this to the family, and we| have the father as the ieader, the! bovs as the gang. If the father goes | to church the bobys go with him; null if he goes fishing the boys are still | ely to accompany him, From | 1 take the first thing to do | father—his natural | Perhaps a Loy is persuaded by some elder w-rr-m that he ought to go to treh if he wishes pldce in after life. Te \rw‘ it for few Sundays and gives it up, because the servic become uninteresting; the uses big words, far above his u standing; the sermon is long and tire- some to him, and deals with subjects in which he has but little interest. The boy would a discussion of something more alive than Old Testa- ment storis, which may be all right for older people to think about and ¢raw morals from, but which serve only to make a boy feel sleepy. Thus far I have been blaming nlher] people; now let us see where the boy themselv are at fault. A great ma boys are rather young to go to church, | they know it, but as they grow der they keep the same ideas, which gre no longef true, and put off indef- fnitely the time when they expect to| attend church. At this rate they nev- t there. Being taught that Sun- | s a day of rest, many try to car- | ry out the Divine will by staying in | bed until long past 1 time. These boys whe: to account | give various excuses, They stayed up e the night before, or they over- | themselves during the week. hem will admit that it ‘*\‘ v habit.

How to Increase Boys’ Membership, The answer to the topic, “How can we increase the boys' membership in the Sunday school?’ was presented in the paper by Benjamin M. Bruce. He indicated the decreasing attendance of boys akove 15 years of age at Sunday school. He went on to speak as fol- lows: What is the @fuse of this? Fear of ridicule from the boy's chums who do not attend Sunday school—lack of at- traction in the classes and lessons— inability of the teacher to hold ihe class” The first of these, fear tically unbroken. of ridicule, believe m: be eliminated, for no Loy who has been brought up in the Sunda cheol ever since he wore his first pair of trousers and who has thorghtful care from his parents, will allow such a thing as ridicule to keep him away from the school, no matter how it may affect him in other phases of life, ack of attraction!—there, perhaps, is something from which we may i The boy of the present age as as the boy of the past and of the future, s, has been, and always will be a seeker after the unusual, the tiractive If this were not so, he would not be a boy. Put a Bible or a Sunday paper on a table alongside of a popular school storybook, and every time the boy will take the popular school stor There is the plain, una- Gulterated excitement and action which the .boy is able to see at once. But docs this' mean that the Bible or Suncay school paper has nothing it wort of the boy's attention? Not a bit of it—only that in the latter the thought may be a little obscure for the young mind, and needs to be ex- emplified by some modern parallel in the every life of bo; Quoting from' A. Craig Bowdish of AI-J-‘ OUR FRENCH Hartford, who is conducting a teach- ers’ training class at the Y, M. C.
