BOYS SHOULD BE STRONG.
Mr.: West. before making the presenta-
ton. said: "Over 1850 years ago an IN
suired writer said, i have written unto
YOU, young men, because you are strong
In order fiat the sound minds of the
educational department might be found in
sound bodies, we have established and
maintained this gymnasium. When we
look around and see these boys, each
worth at least $4,000, we are proud OF
the work done by the Christian associa- |
ton" After having finished the presen-
tation Mr. West said: "All can say now
in conclusion is that IL the boys are as
proud of this institution as the institution
is of the boys, there is no fear OF its
ever going down."

the presentations, gave selected recita- |
ton. In which she wildly pictured an
exciting race between Tenney and Saliva |
tor, the latter winning by nose. When
she brought the, winning horse under the
wire she had worked her auditors up
10 equally as high II state.of excitement
as IL they had witnessed the race. Miss
Lottie Swain rendered a very delightful
piano solo.

stories to illustrate his position. He spoke |
of his love for the association, and In |
simple. but effective words, made n num- |
Der of references TO the Bible. He tod |
them that their love for God and Jesus |
should make them better than other peo-
pie. and. giving them some good whole |
some advice, he closed by saying: God |
bless the Young Mems Christian Asso- |
citation; three cheers for the Young Mems |
Christian Association |
