Association Fellowship"
Vice President w. J. Fulton's re-
marks We're as follows.
TT is a rare experience for citi.
zen to receive the need of praise and
the tribute of appreciation that we are
witnessing tonight Ordinarily the
hero must have won naval battle
before breakfast-at least base ball
pennant, to secure the honors of his
fellows In such a measure. To my
thought the fragrance Of the flowers
must be sweeter, the pressure OF the
laurel more soothing when worn in a
work whose reward is ethical-a la
Dor whose product is better men.
TT is pleasure to work with Mr.
JOY in any line. The quality Of what
he does Is stimulating TO cooperation
The ardor with which he does things
is refreshing. But to have been fol
so many years associated with him
in the fellowship OF our board has

been an esteemed privilege. Some of
us may know that there are easier
tasks than managing Young Mems
Christian Association. The rewards
are not always praise. There has
been with sundry directors a sense
of WEAKNESS in we'll doing-a nagging
desire to get out of the harness be-
fore nightfall They would have done
so except for the inspiration of leader
ship In our president. He has set an
example of sacrifice in time, in work,
and in means that the laggard has
been shamed into constancy by the
enthusiasm and example of his chief.
1T has been the custom OF our
board for some years to hold our
monthly meetings after a supper to-
gether. the expense of which was
not upon the association, thus en-
deavoring to get through with the
work of the evening at an early hour
Referring to this custom it has been
remarked that the board of directors
had such good times together, it was
no wonder they were willing to serve
This social feature was an incidental
to the arch of fellowship in which
Mr.. JOY was the keynote. Some of
us have attended probably two hum
dred meetings of the board of direct
ors with Mr.. Joy presiding. but can
recall none in which there was not
reason to admire his tact, his patience
and kindly defprence Tn q formal
way our board has been glad to ex-
press our appreciation of these cour-
tesies.
The best thought Of all, surviving
our regrets at the withdrawal of Mr.
Joy, is that this fellowship is to be
continued by our brother in larger
fields--in a national mission. and
doubtless to the achievement OF great
er results in other departments OF

MIR. Joy responded in words that
showed he was deeply touched by the
many glowing tributes which had been
paid to him He gave as one OF his
reasons for resigning as the associa-
ton president the belief that he has
reached the extent of his usefulness
and had been in the office too long.
He told the people that the commun-

been felt by many of them. Mr.. Joy
said that he felt as though he was

On this subject, Rev. Geo. c. Will

Service and faithfulness are two
great words. There is plenty of ser
vice which is not faithful, and a great
many faithful people who do not serve.
Milton put good excuse into their
mouths when he said that they also
serve, who only stand and wait.
There are lots of faithful ISLANDERS
around But Mr.. Joy was not that
kind, and he had little patience with
those who Joined the noble army OF
ISLANDERS around. One of the secrets
of faithful service is to be found in
the fact that it has in it the element
