Justice Pitney thanked the manage

Sentation of the best of Morristown' S
citizenship present not only to enjoy a
good dinner the motive is TO keep
reminded of the work of the Y M. G.
A., but particularly in our own town.
He said the association stands for
something. He had been suspected Of
somewhat active participation in pub
lie affairs and believed that out of
every hundred men sixty are for good
government, but they confide the
practical management of affairs to the
other forty about whose aims they ale
in doubt. For personal salvation it
seems to be the rule for every man to
look out for himself. We need to
realize the Importance to the com
munity and usefulness Of the associa-
tion. Important in what it does di-
rectly, but also indirectly in clearing
the atmosphere for those in danger
We need the work for our boys or
friends if not for ourselves. 1t has
proved to be one of the greatest forces
in practical Christianity. The Ameri-
can citizen wants a greats many things
and these wants, if wanted very badly,
rise to the grade of needs One of these
is socialibility, and the association
furnishes a good wholesome club. The
germ of immortality is active and if the
other germ is not in action it will win.
The value of the association to the
community was the topic assigned to
William M. Kingsley, of New York
He enliyened his remarks with num-
ber of good stories and said seriously
that no association is doing the large
and practical work of the Y. NJ. G. A.
1t has splendid organization Inter
national State, local a splendid lot
of men in charge of the work and
splendid results are being accomplish
ed, in furnishing homes, employment
bureaus, educational classes, physical
work, 1t helps to make a life of high
standard, clean character and useful
service. The country has entered upon
the solution of great problems, finan-
cial, political, social. All will end
well, but what will happen between
now and the time of settlement of
these questions We should support
every factor which tends to wise and
peaceful solution of these problems;
the Y. M. q. A., with 100000 mem
bers, s., ,2000 600 invested and working
day and night is an agency that can
not be ignored.
