8 w 'LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN!' AU VWGERS INVITED TO FOURTH CELEBRATION (Continued from Page· 1) The clQSing feature of the day's activities will be a dance given under auspices of the Legion at the Ouilmette Country club. One of the celebrated Benson orchestras wilt provide the music. · " Everybody out for the _Fourth" is the Legion slogan for this celebration . "It's for young and old and it's near your home, a nice walk from any part of the village. Let's go I" Wilmette Life is pleased to acknowledge for the Legion and those assisting in the Fourth of July celebration the following donors of prizes for the field events: Maay Prize Doaon Chicago Area Bishop Speaks of Child Problem "It is a terrible thing to put a child where he thinks that he must feign a type of conversion. Take heed lest you fasten a man's relationship to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ upon a child." These succinct assertions are part of a statement issued by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, Chicago's new resident bishop, in a statement on "Tomorrow's Younger Generation," which he issued to the members and friends o f the Chicago Area of the Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop Hughes is a son of the parsonage, has a son in the parsonage and had a brother in the Episcopacy. He has been in Chicago this week officially as chairman of the World Service commissioll. "Have you read the story of the Children's Crusade?" says Bishop Hughes in his statement. "Probably one hundred thousand little people away back yonder in the year 1212 marched down into Italy on their way to the Holy Land to fight for the receovery of the Saviour's sepulchre. It is said that the way of travel was strewn with their bodies and that only about one-fifth of the wee soldiers ever returned to their homes I What folly it was I What led to this senseless campaign? Was it not the blunder of getting a child to take a man's relation to the supposed work of the Kingdom? We should not repeat the blunder in any form whatsoever. The religious life should keep children true to the sphere of childhood- to their play and to their school. "! once knew an eleven -year-old boy who talked in public meetings as if the re~ous interests of the town were crushing his small heart. This was bad; it was priggish ; and it was followed directly by a fearful reaction. "The great Apostle wrote, "When I was a child, I spake as a child. I understood a s a child. I thought as a child." He might have added 'I was religious as a child.' 'Childish things' ought not to be 'put away' too soon. There is something radically wrong with any evangelism that robs children of their childhood. "_We are, however, more apt to spiritualize the mistake of the Children's Crusade' and to repeat it in deeper forms. How many little people have been sought for an adult's religious experience? There are pilgrimages of the heart as well as of the body. It is a terrible thing to pu~ a child where he things that ~e must fe1gn a type of conversion. It IS a terrible thing, too, to place a boy, who wants to be real, where he cannot ~ssibly find the . feeling he seeks, and d1rectly to send h1m forth with the fear that there is nothing in religion for him. Let us be cautious here. "To expect a child to walk into the Ku_ 1g:dom along the path of agony and s!nvmg,. whereon the obdurate and per51 te~t s mn~r must come, is to look for th~ Imposs1ble, and so to subject the ch1~d either to di appointment or insincenty. . \Vhen onr:c you have made up your ~n:md what 1s necessary in order that children may remain in the Kingdom, follow your course in all conscience . . But I adjure you by the Saviour of ch1ldhood that you touch wjth gentl~t hands the plastic material of young life a_nd that you work under Hi!l in· atructJons and by His principles.

It IS also exp~cted that a delegation of tax-payers w11l attend the meeting to make vigorous protest against any action favoring the petitioners' scheme. The committee handling the matter is made up of Paul A. Hoffman, chairman, and Trustee Albert N. Page and John Clark Baker.
