Promises Of strenuous and unceasing
efforts in the two days remaining in which
to raise the Sl50,OOO for the Y. NJ c. A.
and spirited speeches by Joseph Lippman
and w Mont Ferry were features of the
MONDAY luncn at the Commercial club
! yesterday.
The receipts for the day-that is. up to
noon. when the reports were made-were
light, but the explanation was easy Sat
urday afternoon found most of the offices
closed. and the weather Yesterday fore
bile brigades. Much Of the campaign is
centering in the outlying portions of the
city now and automobiles have been put
in service.
With the clearing of the weather in the
/ forenoon the automobile and the foot
brigades all got busy and there will be no
ietup from now until Q O'Clock Wednes-
day evening when the great campaign will
come TO a close
So anxious were some of the commit
tees to make the most Of their oppOrtu-
mites that several of them chose to re-
main at work on the streets rather than
come to the lunch yesterday, in the de-
termination to utilize every moment of
the time. Many of the committeeman
have absolutely abandoned personal bust
ness for the remaining three davS. and
among those thus devoting themselves TO
| the campaign are some of the most promi-
nent business men of the city, proprietors
and managers of big institutions.
Hard Work Necessary.
| Tt is conceded now that hard and untir-
! ing work is necessary and the committee
men are tackling it with invincible spirit.
The man who says fail if such a one
there be- will have difficulty in peTsuad-
ing any one TO stop long enough TO listen
to his theory. From Chairman p. J. Mo
ran down to the ''privates" all are singing
only one song, and the burden of it is
/ success and nothing short of success
/ The song was sung in prose and verse
I by Joseph Lippman in a spirited address
toward the close OF the lunch. in which
/ he quoted poetry TO emphasize his belief
/ that continuous and undertaking efforts
would win the desired reward, and in a
/ few minutes Of vigorous speaking aroused
/ the meeting 10 a high pitch Of excite
ment
