              y m c a mr m w ehnes speaks mr m w ehnes of ohio wes leyan university talked to the fellows on sunday night about the " students of christian and non christian lands in his first re marks he showed that the features of the young men's christian association gave it great advan tages over other organizations for doing certain kinds of religious work it is non-denominational which fact gives it entrance into the colleges of our country and the army and navy president roose velt was largely instrumental in establishing five branches of this organization along the panama route to be supported by the government it reaches the rail road men and those other industries where it is impossible for the church to enter in colleges it has great responsibilities in reaching the fellows when we consider that the higher and more developed the intellect the greater the tempta tions to which it becomes subject we see the power of the association in this field the world's student christian federation is a branch of christian work which binds together the students of the whole world in france the student is ignorant and indifferent about re ligion in germany he is a ma terialist and skeptic the students of japan where at the university of tokio alone they number over forty-seven thousand come from homes of heathenism and gross immorality india has one hundred and eighty student centers where buddhism and the caste system are to be overcome china has over one million literati who after securing government positions have an opportunity to oppress the lower classes the speaker showed how chris tianity alone was the religion that could reclaim this vast student body to noble and pure lives christianity is superior to other forms of religion because of its respect for womanhood and its offer of salvation mr ehnes is at present one of the secretaries of the student vol unteer movement he is a fine example of the christian athlete for four years he played
