so tonight the Y W. c. A. is saying. The
field is the women of the world'-and all
the women, the students, the industrial
women, the million" women who by .
o'clock tomorrow morning will be at work
In store and factory, the women in do
mestic life, the women employed In our
homes.
From what you have heard this even
Ing some of you may. get the impression
that the Y. w. c. A. is a building. How
ever much the association may need
building, the association is not building.
1t is an association of girls, united TO
promote their physical. intellectual, So
cial and spiritual welfare
Mrs. Whitman showed the scope OF the
work by presenting some figures showing
the membership of the association II
has even spread to foreign countries. she
stated. and there are now thirteen city
associations in foreign countries, With q
membership of over 1900.
How do we account for the success of

think. In the first place" she con-
tinued. 1.-The Young Womens Christian
Association is an organization of girls for
girls. In colleges and In factories the
girls do not want an organization forced
on them: they want to feel that it Is
their own. And the second reason for
is success is the adaptability of the asso-
citation work 1t promotes the PHYSICAL.
| intellectual, social and spiritual welfare
| of the girls. Whatever a girl wants she
can get And the third reason for It's sue
cess is the characters of the secretaries,
| trained to the work and with just one
| aim And that aim brings us to the
| fourth reason for its success-the fact
| that there lies behind 1t great, vital
| force. The secretary feels that she must
bring to the girls the fact of Christ. And
because that stands back of 1t, the Y. w.
| c. A. is growing as it Is growing today"
Ambassador James Bryce, who was un-
able to attend. sent the following letter,
which was read by Justice Brewer:

attend the dinner of the Young Women's
Christian Association. But unfortunately
