In launching the South Dakota
three questions to be considered. In
answering them this state can profit
by the experiences of state which
have already solved them. The first
question is: Is the need apparent,
is there an available agency, and is
the time opportune? Reciting the wal
record of the Y. NJ. c. A, the speaker
said the work was surely needed, else
a request for it from the government
would not have been made. 1t had
been apparent for many years that
the Y. NJ. c. A. was the agency
through which work of this kind could
be done. Stating that he had great
faith in the church, Mr.. Peck said the
church faces a serious problem. This
problem can be solved by the use Of
the Y. M. c. A. in connection. 81
wouldn't care for the Y. NC. A. in
the least if | didn't think it serves
the church as it should" he said.
The problem the church faces with
the Y. NJ. {. A. is the boys and young
men, the hope of America. Unless the
church can throw out lines of purity
to these young people, it will lose.
The need for a Y. NJ. C. A. to coop
crate with the church is as apparent
as can be. 1t will help the boys get
a bigger view of life. This country
has gone crazy over fun" the speaker
declared. 81 don't mean fun through
athletics, but through frivolous
means" He continued to link up the
Y. M. c. A. and the church as a means
of starting thought along a different
line. He declared it was time for the
laymen to get his eyes open and not
leave all the church work to the
preacher. 1t is not the work of the
laity of the church, but it can he
counted on for assistance.
