i, training classes in New Orleans. MT. Gillesby said in the outset that he was more at home in instructing a class in dumb bell exercise than in making a pub lie address, however the manner in which he traced the development of Christian athletics proved most interesting to his audience and he held their close attention throughout his address. The speaker dwelt upon Christ, as the one great ex- ample in all our conceptions of manhood. In the physical sense, as well as in all things that go to make up true manli- ness, Christ Is the ideal. The speaker closed by an invitation to all who had not to accept Christ as his Savior and example. A number of men made re- quest for prayer and three defnately be- gan the Christian life.
 At the close of the devotional meeting social good time was enjoyed and many Y. M. c. A. members made the acquain- tance of MT. Gillesby.
