The 275 ministers and church workers who gathered at Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan last week for their yearly conference received a nice category of youthful sinners and saints from Dr. Percy R. Hayward. Dr. Hayward is director of Young People’s Work for the International Council of Religious Education. His categories of youth:
“1) Carefree sinners who have no restraints.
“2) Unhappy sinners who are sensuous but have restraints.
“3) Unhappy saints who behave but do not want to.
“4) Happy saints who behave themselves and are happy to do so.”
