No one advanced toward the table. The guMe repeated his message, "Boys, I am In real earnest. We must Insist that you leave your matches and cigarettes in this room while you are in the factory. Then a Utah Mormon bey wnswered, "We are Mormon Boy Scouts and we do not smoke. That is the reason no one advanced toward the tables. The account of thto incident spread througthout the factory and the city, i The leader of this same group of Mormon boys notified a restaurant keeper that they would have breakfast with him. He prepared an unusual amount of coffee in anticipation. Not a single boy ordered coffee. w Tk 1,-- Cl Unique Clpproach Two missionaries 5 s following short was given recently p ever KSl. unler the of the Youth Education Association. The in Cincinnati recently vised a unique method of presenting theur illustrated lecture to a large audience. Their problem was to get the audience and here to how they did it: We did not know how to use the illustrated lecture machine and contact many people. We finally bit upon the klea of using it on the street in this fashion: We obtained permission to use an empty store building that had a fairly large window In it. We whited the window for a screen then one of us went inside of the building with the lecture machine. The film, put in machine Inverted, when played on the window, could be seen through and made an attractive picture. One of us then stood outside of the building and asked people to gather around and hear of the ancient civilization of America and to see the pictures of the civilization. It worked like magic. We estimated that we had something like three hundred people looking and listening. After it was over we told them that we would give another picture and lecture on the history of the Mormon Church in about fifteen minutes. Many of the audience stayed to listen to It and when it started the crowd gathered again and we were as successful with the last one as with the first.
