ASSOCIATION INFLUENCES.
Rev. Howard Rondthaler, who was
ON the program for Monday after
n
dress on "Ass ociatiOn Influences" I'M
til night. He spoke in part las
follows:
All our attention heretofore has
been drawn to the inside work, he now
takes US to an outside view of Asso
citation work All kind OF organiza-
tiOns exert some kind Of influence.
What Influence hen does an Associa-
tinn exert upOn town?
1st. The Y. M. @. A. shows to
town that our religion is good for
seven days in the week. We are too
apt to treat our religion as we do our
Sunday clothes
End. 1t presents to the world every
day cheerful, healthy, hearty whole
souled every day religion. 1t is the
religion that is unlike the old idea, a
religion not only for old men and wo
men, but the new type Of manhood,
one which all can wear and enjoy with
pleasure. The Y. M. @. A. has helped
to bring about this great and grand
change. Robert E. Speer is type Of
this class. So is Stagg, who is so well
known to us all. These young men
were the heroes on the athletic field,
as Jesus is proud of. The work of the
Y. M. G. A. is gradually, impercepti
bly,, but surely bringing about this
glorious change ia the young people Of
the world.
