A good representative audi

the evident eagerness of Mr..
Bidwell to be present., as he had

Mr.. Bidwell was received
with hearty applause and at
lonce secured the confidence of
the audience. The key note of
his address was opportunity"
The opportunity before every
man especially young men to
make themselves fit for any
honorable positions and then to
enter upon them.
He felt sure no man in the
audience had a father whose
yearly earnings were smaller
than his fathers earnings; and
he, himself, began at the bottom
round of the railroad ladder, as
a section hand and the only
white man in the gang working
with him. He knew all about

1t yields the largest comfort,

Mr.. Bidwell urged the motto
Of the club, suggested by the
chairman, as a noble sentiment,
"Know one another and we
shall love one another" He
urged the rubbing out of all
dividing lines in the commun-
ity, and the meeting of men
with men in this new club for
manhood and brotherhood. The
address was one not soon to be
forgotten. 1t was manly, earn
est and religious. It was an
effort by a railroad man to help
railroad men up to the firm
ground of Christian hope and
experience where he stood him
self, and it must bear good
fruits.
"a brief History of the Club
Movement" was next given by
the Rev. j. MacAllister. He
traced it from its beginning in
a letter to Mr.. Bidwell in June,
1901, down through all the
later correspondence with the
management of the C. & N.
R. R., I" and the hopes of pos
sessing- first a Y. M. C. A.
building then a gymnasium,
and down to the encourage
ment given by the C. & N. w.
R. R. in the generous gift of
5000 which started the sub
scription for the present club
room.
Superintendent Beveridge
was next introduced and made
one of his very ready and hap
py speeches. "He always lights
on his feet like a cal" when he
has to jump.
The audience then proceeded
to the club room, which was
formally opened by Mr.. Bid
we'll, who led the way with a
CHEEKY "Come in everybody"
and everybody was delighted
with the ample proportions of
the room, it's finish and good
taste. The furniture, the news
paper racks (made in our public
school manual training depart
ment), the beautiful pictures
that lined the wall, everything
was admired and commented
upon. Mr.. Forde had a rich
toned Edison phonogragh there
which discoursed sweet music
to the pleasure and satisfaction
of all.
Now the Club Room is open!
