TAFT'S ADDRESS At LAYING CORNER
Stone OF NEW FRISCO Y. N. c. A.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 6.-Fol
lowing is the address of Presiden
Taft at the laying of the cornerstone
Of the new Y. M. c. A. building in
Golden Gate avenue.
Ladies and Gentlemen: l am glad
to have the honor of taking part IN
those interesting ceremonies. 1 am
glad, as the head of the nation, when
ever opportunity offers 10 testify 20
the immense amount of good which;
is done for this country and for the
world by the Young Mems Christian
Association"
His listeners applauded the senti-
ment, whereupon the children lined
up on the street echoed the applause
by cheering Justify. This amused
the President, who smilingly contin-
ued:
81 don't believe they" Calluding to
the children) know of the sentiment,
but they are sure it is good. 1t fills
want in our society and in those
of large cities, particularly and es-
pecially in the Orient, that cannot be
filled in any other way. 1t furnishes
a substitute for a Christian home TO
those who are denied home, and it
offers for their leisure hours an OPP
portunity for rational amusement
and saves them from the temptation
of evils that the devil always offers
at that time.
ut has been my good fortune to
attend the dedication and the laying
of the cornerstones of association
building like this in the East, In the
Middle West and the Far West, in
Shanghai, in Manila and in other
parts of the world, and it shows it's
universal good that it should be able
to do so much for humanity under
such different conditions.
Eve are nation that is separated
in its civil government from the
church, and occasionally it is thought
that We are a calloused, unchristil1
nation on that account, but those of
lis that understand the springs of
American life know how unjust that
accusation is. 1t Is our belief that
churches can better maintain them
selves by the protection and energy
of those who make up the body of
the congregation than by leaning up.
