cal center of the land, came from the
New England states. Now the promi-
nence Of New England in this respect is
passing, due to the wonderful growth Of
the West with its corresponding capacity
of producing and supplying the kind Of
men needed. Lest this Western influence
should become too predominant we should
do all in our power to awaken interest
in so maintaining the duality of our
young men, in SO training them in char
acter and worth. and in so meeting the
demand that is growing larger each year
for dependable YOUTH that New England
will hold her own. in proportion to the
population of the country, in shaping its
destinies both material and moral.
"A feeling Of satisfaction, a lack of
ambition and tendency to be satisfied
with less effort than characterized our an
cestors is coming over New England and
leading to it's dethronement from it's for
mer exalted place.
II say this as one who has native love
for the former and profound respect for
the latter.
There is no more practical and power
full agency to make young men prepared
for the peculiar demand that is now aris-
ing all over the country for those who
can be depended upon through thick
and thin than the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. l am frank to say that
think the time is coming when it will
be a more powerful organization for act
ual good in this country than the church
itself"
