Dr. John Reeds message in To- ledo was directed to Chri tian young • people. It was a real challenge, cau - • ing us to evaluate the punpose and I goal of our live , and to cease elf– ,~centered aims, mak~ng "Living Chri t,, the real philosophy of life. Pastor Don Sewell,s message at the climax of the Cedarville rally was attended by the Lord's blessing. It dealt with time, separ,ation, and sou·I ' winning. One teenage girl received Christ as her Lord and Saviour. There was good interest in the four division attendance contest, with one division in the north rally re– quiring a ' 'recount,' ,before the plaque could be awarded.
