years AGO an inspired writer said. 81
have written unto you because you are
strong" Since then not n day had passed
when strength had not been valued high
ly. The Young Mems Christian Associa'
ton was anxious TO keep up sound
mind In a sound body. and. while there
was no desire to create acrobats, they
wished to make only all-round. healthy
and strong bodied young men. He fell
convinced that II the boys II the educa
tlonal department and the gymnasium
were az proud OF the Young Mems Chris
ton Association as the board OF direc
tors Of the boys. then there would be nc
danger OF the institution ever going down
After the recitation OF Salvador Won
by Mrs. Logan, Rev. w. j. Young. ID. ID
made a brief address. He stated that h
loved the Association becaEse II wa.
answering q question and solving prob
lem which was very hard for an,
church to solve. He spoke OF the varionl
attractions offered by the institution
Which only assisted ia developing boy
and young men In religious. mental
and physical direction.
At the close Of the. entertainment II
the big hall the audience repaired TO thu
gallery OF the gymnasium to witness ~
