secretary's Report.
IT is well for US as members OF the
Young Women's Christian Association
Of Keokuk, to stop once each year in
the midst of the activities to review
facts and fgures--to take account of
stocks as 1t were-to pause at the be-
ginning of new year and in the light
of these facts and figures make plans
for the future-to ask ourselves hon.
estly and earnestly whether the In
yestment Of time. thought, prayer,
work and money of the 1873 different
persons who are serving the associa-
ton as board and committee members,
has paid in results
Our Judgment will be based upon
the fultillment Of the purpose for which
the association is organized. The
purpose as conceived by those who
laid the first foundations Of this work
over sixty-eight years ago-a purpose
which has never changed, although
the methods of accomplishing it have
changed with changing economic and
social conditions which have affected
the girl life of our country and other
countries.
