hr Atherton, speaking of the pur-
pose of tie dinner, said in part:
] Pleasure and Regret. @.
1T is with mingled feelings OF
| pleasure and regret that face you
mere tnls evening, pleasure that the
official families OF our two institutions
can gather together in this social way
and thus become better acquainted
reDret that the motive of our gather
ing is to say farewell to two who have
been so active in the work of these
two institutions and have made such
warm place for themselves in our
hearts, and who are so soon to leave
/ US.
However, 1t is again a pleasure to
know that even though they go from
us bodily, they cannot take away with
them the influence of their personal
ity. That will always remain part
of these Institutions. For, after all, II
is not so much the organization that
makes for uplift and progress, but II
is the lives of those who are its most
active supporters and workers, that
gives to it it's character and influence
In this day and generation, when
everything Is organized and II seems
as though to accomplish anything it
must De done by, in and through an
organization, that we have come to
Tovefvalue IT. In reality, however, II is
largely she'll oreframe work, and the,
active officers CT workers are the ones
who give to it. life and direction and
leave their mark of things accom-
p1ished.
Associated With sr3er.
And so the wonderful growth and
development of our association during
the past decade and this splendid
building and equipment will always
have associated with it the personal
life and power of q man by the name
OF Super. 81
ut is not my purpose to give even
a brief outline of the progress made
since Mr.. Super became our secretary
or to go into facts or i.gures. The
Associations present status speaks
for itself. To my mind 1t is striking
lesson of the power OF personality,
backed by devotion to Christian
purpose. sifrs
Il know 1t is with deep regret that
Mr.. Super leaves us as 1t is with the
same regret that we let him go, but
believe that the call which has come
to him is one that offers great posi-
bilities in Christian service and lead.
ership. To turn the forces of young
mems lives toward Christian service,
and to train them in that service is
one of the greatest pieces Of work
that one can be called upon to do, and
know that we will all rejoice with
him in the new opportunities that
come to him and Mrs. Super / know
that he will always retain the deepest
affection for this association and con-
tinue to serve US In many ways, es.
pecially In sending us from time to
time the choicest young men that we
will need in our institution.

one who has ,oEg been closely asso

to step into his place of leadership.
Such one, however, having been |
In the family, knows all its secrets,
and If there are any skeletons in the

time to bring them out / am going to |
call upon Mr.. Larimer for few words |
on associating with the secretary of

Mr.. Larimer spoke pleasantly of his
personal associations with Mr.. Super |

w. z. Harrington, for the press,
spoke of the practical good sense dis
played by Mr. Super In dealing with

also with the business office. 1t has
never been the custom of Mr. Super |
to ask for charity from the business |
