 k T ,Sxish ,it we're possible for many o, our interested contributors to feel thal the work of our organization warrantes a clause in their wills. whereby this orr ,ganfzation might benefit by an endowi ment in coming years. As our work doI velops and increases, the income from oui endowments is of great help fin meetini
 the. added and necessary expenses. F Appreciation. sf Admiaistrative ohiesrs. r cannot close this report without ex.
 pressing my personal appreciation and
 Etatitude to Secretary Hi, Office Secre' tary Rhfnehart, Boys Secretary Knowles and Physical Director Fritz. for the man' ner in which they have co-operated with me,, and with the board of directors dur ing this; past year. They have been | faithful at all, times in the conducting of the work entrusted to them, and while | do not wish, to make comparisons, I be- + ueye that there are few associations in
 the. country, in cities of the size of Nor. wich, where more constructive. we;ls
 balanced, and successful work has been lconducted.
 The members of the board of directors
 have been more than loyal fin giving oi
 their time and strength in planning and
 supervising the work of the year, and most, earnestly bespeak for the gentleman whom you-wiIl elect tonight, as my suc- cezsor, continuance of this. lsyAl, de- lvoted, and hearty cooperation.
 May I simply remind you that this is Ia Young Mems Christian Association 1 whatever successes or failures have been made during these ten years, the great aim, purpose, and ideal of our work hai ilheenethe development of character among
 the boys for whom we have labcred. Ths lsocisls, entertainments. gymnasium read Ing ireern, and every branch of our sc- uvtIes are but means to an end. We cannot measure In words the result | of eur religious activities, but we .belieN 2 We have seen tangible evidences of char
 eeter building in the lives of our mem fbers Vho have more than rewarded us fer an the time and effort we have rui lnto the work.
 The Young Mems Christian Association of Norw1ch b conducted for the beneh'
 of any sboy CT man, without regard to Lcreed, raee. color, sF nationality, and | fRill enly Gucceed tn the future, as 1t has ! tn the past, in proportion to the amount
 f ccnsccrsted Christian endeayor that | Il put into it by its officers, committees and members. therefore make In concfu- lgi0n, this one final, earnest appeal; thai We Wm net forget the ideals of the foan- ders of this organization of nearly fortI ] years ago; that we will remember thi . self sacrifcfnf service of all who h7ve
 during these years, contributed to th' : success of this work: and that tn c01fni : days because of the continuance Of thi . same desire, the Nofvinh assoctzkine, may be able to fill an even greater pl1e' of service than ever before.
