OUE YOUNG MEN BENDER A
SPLENDED PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
Quito a crowd of friends and boosters
gathered Tuesday n lghl in tho district
court room and ilstonod to n splondld
program as rondorod by tho young men
of tho Swish or County Boys Division
of Uio United War Work Campaign Tho
splondld talents of theso young spoak
crs wcro all that tholr frlonds oxpectod
of thorn Mr J M Simpson director
for this division presided and his
masterful manners nnd easy flow of
words did much to mnko tho occasion
a success Tho Herald is indeed proud
of overy ono of those young men
Messrs Trus Cochran norron Ilngood
Gcorgo Tracy nnd Lnw Bone Tho In
spiring thoughts that they brought to us
wcro befitting men of experience in
public speaking Wo hnvo listened to
Scnntor Bailey Sonntor Slicppard Roy
Trultt Dr Brooks and other great mon
nnd In our minds wo could sco in the
future where theso voung men mnko
equally as great exponents of law and
rhetoric nnd wield as grent influences
in shaping tho destiny of our nation
as do tho great men of today Tiio
friends assembled showed that thoy too
had great faith in theso young
and appreciation for their present
worth and evidenced same by hearty
applause
At tho conclusion of the addresses by
theso young men Dr C D Itoyse of
Rockwall Indiana was introduced Dr
Itoyse is nt present in Amarlllo
and is supervising the work for tho
United Wnr Work Campaign In nn
easy nnd attractive manner did ho
speak Briefly did ho make mention
of the salient dates in this great war
Ho mentioned tho dates thnt wo now
givo to tho epochs of history but from
now onward wo would have different
dates From tho boginnlng until nbout
1453 he declared as his belief would
In future bo known as tho Physical Age
Then man worked and accomplished by
forco not proving anything but meeting
conditions and overcoming obstacles
by force From 3153 to tho present
year he thought would bo known as tho
Intellectual Age During this period
man advanced made progress by tho
uso of Ills brain From tho tlmo thnt
Columbus silled and until the present
man was not content to tnko anothers
Word for a thing but proved all
things From this ilato forward Dr
Royso thought would bo called tho
Spiritual Age Not that tho development
of tho physical nnd mental would
bo any tho less but that the development
of tho spiritual would bo the greaterDr Iloyso also gave a ringing tribute
to tho brave United States soldiers
nnd to tho wonderful accomplishments
of our National lenders Ho closed
with a strong appeal to tho people to
bo moro liberal than over to tho support
of tho seven organizations now
looking after tho soldiers While tho
war is over nnd some of the Govern
incut wnr preparation work is cut yet
tho cnll is oven as great and maybe
greater for funds for caring for tho
bravo bojs
Such brief was tho stirring talk
of this good man Our sincere regret
is that wo nro not ablo to print his
talk in full but wo appreciated every
word nnd HKowiso did tho other assembled
friends for most hoarty np
plnuso was given him
Tliis wns a most pleasant and profitable
evening for all In swelling our
hearts with pride and lifting us away
from our littlo troubles and opening
up to us greater duties nnd obligation
our most capable Tulia Band had nn
important part Tho sweet music of
thoso gifted musicians wns nil thnt
heart nnd mind could desire Rising to
their foot tho notos of thnt greatest of
nil tunos Tho Star Spangled Ban
ner caused tho imsemblago to come
to their foot And thus was a splendid
program brought to a pntriotie conclusionitpv O S Wyntt returned the fn l
