A YOUTH- . What is he worth?

HAT is this youth-and what is he -W worth? Modern materialism says he is Brain -and as such is worth gold, all the gold his in­ telligence can mine from the world of economic struggle. The material world waits for him­ and offers him wealth. Modern paganism says he is Body-and as such is worth tons of pleasure, all the pleasure his emotions c~n seize from the realms of self­ indulgence. Paganism bids for him-and offers him sensual delight. The Elim Crusader Movement and junior youth branches, says he is more than brain, more than body. It says that this youth is Soul, and as such should be taught to seek the highest, the best, the most lasting. Christ died for him-and offers him a cross. But the Cross of Christ is his key to eternal life. Photo by] [P. N. Corry~

Praises in Prison This is one of the stately prison chapels where the London Crusader Choir regularly visits, and ministers to crowded congregations (whose attendance is voluntary). This last year, over thirty-five prison services were conducted throughout the country to _an aggregate congrega- . tion qf over 10,000 men and women. Such precincts regularly ring with Foursquare melodies and songs of praise. Congregations, too, join heartily in choruses that convey in no uncertain way the simple gospel message, bringing with it con­ tinuous results.
