reproach to their position. Sometimes IL
may be well to use clean associate menu
bers on this committee; however, let
them be In the minority.
c. Young Mems Meeting.-Let the half
hour before this meeting be time OF
great sociability. See that men are on
duty to welcome heart and hand men
who come to the meeting. Likewise. at
the close, cultivate the Misunderstanding
fever among the members and attend
ants, and thus while the electric fact
that " the whole worlds akin" flows
through hand to heart, watch for your
opportunity to put home the all-important
question. II a decision Is not reached. in
love leave the seed to grow, and the
results to God. You have done your duty.
The promise is not to the successful. but
TO the faithful. You can be faithful.

be women whose social standing will en-

community which the association seeks
to reach. Having secured their co-ope-
ration. do not make them simply a
Kitchen committee; II you do, either by
silence or consent. you will soon lose
them. Use them In planning and carry
ing out co-social events. In the care-taking
of tho association home. and In
special efforts. The writer has used
them in special financial work. and In
the quickeniny OF the public interest; and
you will also find them ready and will

Women have larger hearts and more
