Youth Institute At
Walstonburg Ends
On Sunday night, Octobeg 89, the
Christian Youth Institute Sponsored
by the Walstonburg Youth Center
and led by the Sfiv. John T. Greene
was brought to a most successful
close. The last asesfen climaxed the
series of meetings that had been_ in
progress each Sunday night since Oct.
8. Several of the more than 100
young people who had been attending
each Sunday night were reluctant to
admit that this was the last meet
ing and stayed to question Mr. Greene
long after the group had been form
ally dismissed.
The program each night consisted
of a period of worship followed by a
movie, and an open discussion led by
Mr. Greene concerning dating cus
toms of the present day. Using a
wheel with five spokes as the basis
for his discussion, Mr. Greene point
ed out how a person’s physical, men
tal, emotional, social and spiritual
development makes for a well-round
ed life. He traced the growth in these
five areas from birth tp adulthood,
and showed how immaturity in any
of these areas might lead to later ma
'rital problems.
Interest and attendance not only
from the Walstonburg community,
but from Bell Arthur,.Farmville, and
the Wesley and Tabernacle common!,
ties as well, , showed that such an in
stitute has partially ^filled T real
need in the lives of young people in
this section.
Mr. Greene spoke to the young a.
dolts Sunday evening at 6:30 at the
Walstonburg parsonage on "Why We
Choose the Mates We Do.”
