Things Doing in the Clubs ant
Glasses. The supreme problem il
the unfolding and development o
human life is to keep its energies
conferred on right thought and whole
some activity. Abstinence from
things that do not elevate is imper
alive for him who would reach his
finest efficiency and truest service
~ife. But abstinence alone is not
Sufficient. There must be activity
in order that constructive work in
the life may go on. Cessation OF
all activity is death. Since its in
ception the Association has sought
to afford those activities that call
out and develop the latent powers
in the lives of boys and young men.
Hence. it seeks to be a conservat-
or and developer of the most vital
resources in any community. The
good measure of success already
achieved has been possible only
because of the hearty cooperation of
those who believe in such things.
The present is encouraging and bet
ter results should be achieved with
in the days to come than in any
time up to the present. Some of
the work now being done in Pay
cites Association is briefly outlined
in the following relative to some of
the classes and clubs now being con-
Quoted by the institution.
The Navajo Club" was organized
in June 1911 with six charter mem
bers who originally constituted the
big Six Club" The central fea-
ture has been Bible study though
many other activities are a part
of the club life During the summer
months part of the time at the
weekly meetings was spent in read
ing. The club is now pursuing a
course of study on the Sermon on
the Mount, also a course in Prob
lens of High School Boys by Jere-
ulldu JGuhS. IL NOulu NC hAAAANuAb ~
find study of more value to the in
dividual than Jesus matchless Ser
(mon on the Mount. In it are found
lie essentials of a truly Christian
Character and the standard of right
eousness that the Master came to
establish. The Club has grown in
numbers from six to "a and it is
quite probable that another club
similar in activities will be organ
lied to accommodate the numbers de-
string to enter the Navajo Club. Six
Navajos represented their club at
the recent Boys Conference at
Boise and eight others went as del
egates from Sunday School classes.
The popularity and growth of the
club has unquestionably been due to
the emphasis laid on things vital in
the building of character.
The Senior Group. Is your sue
cess or lack of success in life to be
the result of happen-so? Is there
field of service where your talnets
may be used to best advantage both
to yourself and to those who may
be benefited by your life service?
Are there actually definite principles
by which this field of service may
be found by each one of us? These
are some of the great life questions
covered in the course being followed
by the Senior Group that has been
meeting regularly since the latter
part of October. This study stands
as one of the finest and most funda-
mental ever published. Occasionally
the fellows arrange for a feed and
season of good fellowship together.
THE Ottowa Patrol" This is a
club consisting at present of fifteen
members. The boys are well organ
lied and have been holding regular
meetings since the first of 1912. The
first object of the club is Bible
study. Each meeting, however, IS
closed with a short social period
and tne1nembers take turn about
been made for outings as soon as
the weather will permit, and the
club has hopes of making camp
ing trip to the mountains during the
summer vacation. The club mem
bership has been growing rapidly
Ind many applications are under
at the present time
The organization promises to be a
oomplete success. and to keep the
bovs interested in educational and
social work as well as furnishing
them with wholesome recreation. In
the Bible study work good progress

Testament Manhood" or Men Who
