that these two men were doing
splendid work and could not be spar
ed He said that all Of the direct

Address BY Mr.. Peck.
State Secretary E. w. Peck was
introduced and spoke upon "Associar
ton Efficiency" He said that the
Y. NJ C. A. brings the denomina-
tons together, which was enough, If
the association did not accomplish
anything more. The association
should take an invoice and see how
it can be an efficient influence for
the betterment of the city. He COM
plimented Secretary Deerhake and
Physical Director Allison. An effect
i've or efficient association did not
lie in large membership, he, said, yet
this association has splendid mem
bership. But this is not enough. 1t
has the kindly feeling of the COM
munity and the cooperation of the
churches, which is fine. but these
are not enough. The Y. NJ. GA.
must have, a cleancutA policy, the
same as any successful organization
must have. 1t must have a thorough
organization, and also the. co-opera-
ton of the men. -. = - :.
I'VE want the sympathy OF the
men, but they must also get, busy.
No man is too busy to help some. 1t
is the busy man who accompliahes
the most. Don't say, Let George do
it," but do it yourself Throw your
heart, life and enterprise into this
great service. The happiest man 10
the one seeking to serve wherever
God calls him." J.
