Third Year DELAND, FLA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ^ 1938 Price 5 YOUTH CONFAB HUGE SUCCESS Present Day Topics Discussed By Notable Speakers An outcry against the dangerous | I§|g position of the Christian world and ■ |||" the voicing of the immediate need ] | for remedial measures formed the keynote for the stimulating sessions | of the Youth Conference held here I last week. An array of prominent; speakers expressed their views upon world conditions, encouraging a greater show of energy upon the j part of young people in Christian America. Dr. D. Brewer Eddy, secretary of the American Board of Congregational Missions and brother of Sherwood Eddy, lecturer, delivered one of the most resounding speeches of the day. He told the delegates that Russian atheism, German Fascism, Nationalism and the Versailles Treaty, and our own narrow tendency of self-interest are all creating a situation in the world today never before paralleled. "We are being governed," said Dr. Eddy, "by a group who sound as pagan as Rome at her worst, bound by the narrow confines of self-interested thought." The guest of honor at the evening session, a banquet held in the Commons Building, was Mrs. W. J. Hartness, of DeLand. Mrs. Hart- ness is the originator of the expanded Chain of Missions in the state. Speakers for the evening assembly were Dr. Hamilton, of China speaking on the "Greatest Sport, in the World," with the theme, "Fishers ROBERT FROST TO APPEAR HER Famous American Poet Lecture Here February 1'8 Robert Frost, considered by some authorities as America's finest poet, is to be in Stetson Friday, February 18, to give a program of readings and lecturing upon his poetry and on various phases of poetry in general. The lecture is to be held at 4 p.m. of that day, and students will be admitted to the auditorium to hear the famous poet on presentation of their activities tickets. In a late issue of the Saturday Review of Literature, Bernard de Voto, its editor, says of Robert Frost. "He is the finest American poet, living or dead." He goes on to state that Frost's works will be "harder to get rid of" than any o- ther group of selections by other American poets. The Saturday Review of Literature, according to Dean Charles G. Smith, is recognized as one of the most capable and complete periodicals dealing with criticism of current literature.
