 Giving his atter.ion to the develop
 ment of Y. NJ. c. A. work Mir Roberts
 said: The eyes of the world are upor
 America. We have the distinction O
 coming out of the war a creditor nation
 The eyes of the world are turned {, America for deliverance from chaos o
 the worst kind. It is pretty largely LII
 to America and if to America to tn
 youth of America. The youth of Amer lea are the hope of the world.
 We are dealing with the most re
 markable generation of youths and boy the world has ever seen. Anybody wh
 thinks the war is over has another thinl coming. We must make supermen, mi , racle workers out of the present genera
 tion of boys There is no agency tha
 can do this work better than the Count
 Y. M. c. A. Unless we can produce better sort of mel. than our fathers W
 are a lost nation. And that is no re
 eflction on our fathers. In their da, they served faithfully and well.
 We call ourselves practical men. l we are practcal men we will addres : ourselves to the problems of the day. A go the country towns and rural life, S
 goes the nation. Our nation Is threat
 ened today. We must teach the boys t play the game, the .eam game. Some c . the most valuable lessons are taught o the playground.
 What the boys needs is friends. whs Fl Is a real friend? I know Websters dc : finition of friend but, to me, a boy o
 New York's East Side has better on He said friend is "a guy that know all about you and likes you just tn | same"
 | Shall we fear the problems that fac
 us? I think not If we renew our enel
 gy in promoting the Y. M c. A. prt !, gramme we will go long way in ar swering the appeal of the world.
