man or woman without home OF their
own. We must get home before we

slider it well. Open your eyes to the
fact that the Y. M. G. A. is an all round
institution. That 1t Is the best place
to bowl, to take shower bath, to take
regular systematic exercise, to read
good literature or to spend long win
ter's evening. That, in being identi.
fed with the association. you become
one of a group of real, live wide-awake
men and boys. That 1t Is an organiza-
ton of high character and with high
aims Therefore. Resolve that you will
take out membership right straight
away, that you will do it now. When
the new year comes round again you
will have had the best returns for your
money that 1t is possible to obtain.
