stone and foundation of all our efforts f we neglected this we would be guilty of
 forgetting our blrthright, which is, and always has been. the winning of young men to Jesus Christ.
 While We have not accomplished along this vital line what we desired, yet evil dence is not lacking to show that the seed sown for soul development has not been sown in vain, for there are those who have seen new vision of the Christ, and therefore caught glimpse of enlarged possibilities for themselves, and we thank God for such evidences of the results of the work of our, association.
 Boys Work.
 No phase of the work is more interest ing or more productive of results than that which is done for the boys In the formative period of their lives. God only knows the far-reaching effects of impress sions made on the young hence the ina- portance of the right kind of impressions, and we have attempted to place before the boys such ideals as are calculated to de- Yelop in them noble characters.
 F New Building.
 ;, Many times during the past year we have felt keenly the handicap of our old building. We have endeavored to do the Fbest we could with what we have but to accomplish what the association should in our beloved city is impossible with the present equipment. Therefore we are hoping and praying and believing for the 1 time to come when new home will be a l reality. Whoever has a part in erecting
 suitable building for the developing of Christia manhood will make a contribu-
 tion that will have it's blessed effects in all i the coming days.
