Bwanda Tumbo sat down upon a

large, scalding tears.
Wherefore weepest, master of

The Wonderful Y. M. c. A.

In the past ten years no other re-
ligious organization has received so
much money as the Y. M. c. A. Mil
lions have been raised for new build
ings all over the land, and with no ap-
parent strain. Its business-like admin
istration of its vast resources. its en-
ergy in pushing it's work-in the cities
and through the railroad. army and
navy branches-and its hne policy IN
following the armies in all recent
wars, have created for 1t . world wide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet OF
the international committee, Senator
Root affirmed that they had made
their way by working with men moro
than by talking to them, saying:
Come with u.s." not go do that.
By their appeal to all classes of Chris.
tians, as well as to non-Christians,
they have kept out of doctrinal theol
ogy, and by their activity In good works
they have escaped cant In religion
All interested in saving our boys and
young men rejoice In their worldwide

If the editor knew of anything that
would take the shine off trousers, he
would patent it and retire to enjoy
the rich profits arising to him from
