There is no fireside however defended

But of times celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.

seclusion
BY guardian angels led safe from
temptation
Safe from sin and pollution
He lives whom we call dead.

started an incentive among his little

The following is a clipping from the
st. Louis Argus, August End, 1916:
Several st. Louisans attended the
Business League in Kansas City and
all of them are high in praise of the
splendid service which the Taseo de-
partment Y. NJ. C. A. of Kansas City
rendered to the visitors who were
there.
Mr. w. c. Gordon speaking of the
Y. NJ. c. A, said: We could not have
been better cared for. Those of us who
stayed in the Y. NJ. c. A. as l did. saw
clearly the reason why every city
should have a center like this. Those
of us, of st. Louis especially, could
see what a help a Y. NJ. c. A. would
be to st. Louis.
Mr.. A. E. Malone expressed about
the same sentiment when he said: 4
have visited every modern Association
for Colored men in the country. and
| know the place that these Associa-
tions fill in the community. My party
and l used the Paseo Department dur
ing our stay in Kansas City, and we
were immensely pleased with the
treatment we received. l believe the
men of st. Louis who were in Kansas
City, determined as never before to
work for the new building in St.
Louis"
Mr.. Mitchell. editor of the Argus,
had this to say: The Paseo Depart
ment was a concrete example of what
a Y. NJ. c. A. a be to a city. I am
sure We will Meier forget the strug-
gle we are making for our new build.
ing, and we will win out as the men
in Kansas City did"
The above named gentlemen are
members of the oBard of Managers of
u local branch, and they are united
in saying that the Paseo is the center
of the social life of Greater Kansas
City.
