Mrs. r. II. Passmore of Minneapolis.
chairman of the finance department of
inc association. also gave an interest
ing talk on Motive Powers of sue
c"ssful Financial Work" II believe"
she said. that We have been looking
at the financial question from a wrong
standpoint. We should not feel that
We are begging when we ask for hnan-
clal aid for such Il work as that of the
Dung Women's Christian association,
but rather that We are offering a privi-
lcge to those approached in giving
them an opportunity to help do the
mplift work Of the world. We should
never go with an apologetical air. but
witt the thought that we are working
with God for the betterment of man
kind and therefore our asking is Jus
tilted. The supreme end of the Young
Women's Christian association can
only be obtained through spiritual
methods and this thought must stand
behind any successful work. Every
thing which elevates social conscience,
which purifes administration and
sanctifes laws. every method of this
sort becomes an avenue to lead women
and girls to the highest life and this
is the chief aim of the association"
BE filled with enthusiasm" she
said, know that vour work is right
and then you cannot fail in the sue
cessful CARRYING On of your work"
