In them, we could make It in less time
than this.9 "Now our most timely
question is," he continued, will you
make 1t possible for the State Y. N. Q.
A. to maintain and extend Its scheme
Of work 30 as to care for the needs Of
young men and boys in the small coun-
ties Of the unorganized fields, or will
1t be compelled to reduce its organiza-
ton to such aE extent that some other
organization will come In whose mo-
live win be other than the religious
one.
Following Mr.. Dix, Rev. r. T. Nooe
Of Frankfort eloQuently advocated the
policy Of the Y. NJ. G. AS occupying
the entire field and offered a motion
to that effect. seconded in an equally
earnest and eloquent tone by Gibney
Oscar Letcher, an attorney Of Hen
derson. On the call of the campaign
director, G. 4. Tevebaugh, every dis
trict from the Purchase" to the Big
Sandy reported organization and a
hearty acceptance of their quota Of the
statewide objective.
Dr.. Motifs Address.
John r. Motifs address was one Of
the most impressive discourses ever
delivered in Louisville. The dist1n-
guished American was introduced by
Dr. e. Y. Mullins, president Of the
Southern Baptist Theological Sem
mary, who, in presenting the guest of
honor, called attention to the many
conspicuous positions Of leadership
which Dr. Mott has occupied. Among
these were head Of the Student VOlun-
teer Movement for years; head Of the
organization of the international Y.
Nj. c. A.; head Of the War Work
Council Of the Y. M. c. A., and head
of the Edinburgh Conference. Though
q layman, Dr. Mott is the outstanding
religious figure Of the day, because the
fire Of his spiritual devotion burns so
strong and so bright in the midst Of a
practical life" concluded DR.. Mullins.
Dealing With New World.
II remind you that you are dealing
with new world-a shaken, CULVER
| ing world-a world in which pillars
| that were deemed pillars Of strength
and were pointed to with pride, have
| crumbled to dust at our feet" said DR..
Mott, after a brief preliminary which
explained that he had for the past
thlrty-one years been cruising" over
the world on missions of helpfulness in
forty-six countries that he had visited
the war zones Of Europe six times
during the course Of the world war
and had Travelled 1000 miles on the
/ eastern front.
Continuing. the speaker said: 1t is
an impoverished world also, for up to
six months ago 1t had cost over 26O
billions Of dollars; it Is an exhausted
world both economically and vitality
as demonstrated by the 100000
graves that have been filled because OF
the struggle; and 1t is still sorrow
ing and suffering world, for in all my
six visits to the war zones l spent
much of my time in the homes, and not
one that / can recall but had been
visited once, and often many times
by the dark shadow Of death"
The World 10 ION its. Nerves"
DR.. Mott said that the people every
where impressed him as being "or
their nerves" and in a state of irri
liability, which is productive o.
criticism. He declared that it is {
wonderful time to live when Who'll.
world is accessible to new ideas. Com
paratively speaking, 1t Ia an unselast
world too, he said, for although it IL
not 50 nnselhsh as 1t was year ago
or two years ago, 1t is far more un
selfish than before the war.
II had thought that might see on,
Of two nations plastic, but / neve

but 1t will set, and set hard in a new
mold, and this is the golden oppor
