this State.
IF there ever was a. time in the !
history of the nation when there was
aneed for every agency for the NOR
al good to exert itself, this is the .
time" said a well known South Car
Gilman today. We are facing p !
rather critical situation. Our people /
seem to be restless, especially our
young people. Temptations iurll n:o
every hand. They crave excitement
The Y. M. C. A may be the instru-
meft that will help to keep many
from strayins from the paths Of
safety and sanity in this rather trying
time. 1t has the greatest opportunity
Of it's life now for service
hope the people OF the State wiil
not only give the $4,000 that it is
asking for but that they will double
as never before to save our young
men, many of whom have been led
by the excitement of the period to
the r ecipice. The Y. NJ. c. n. must
bring them back to safety.
The churches and the 7. NJ. c. a.
the colleges and all other agencies
must exert themselves to the utmost
and cooperate in the stamping out
Of the restlessness so prevalent over
oar country now, which is finding ex-
preston in crimes, uprisings AID
Rolshevist movements.
Il expect to contribute literally to-
everybody else Will so that our young
people may be saved and our coua-
try saved
