+; banquet was given TO the boys Of

probation of the work that this club
il doing in Sumter. The abundant
menu of the banquet was furnished
for the most part by the ladies' Of
the city who have been interested in
this club.
The boys OF the "HiY' club had
full charge OF the splendid meeting
conducting it in a most commenda-
tory and exemplary manner. Jack
Wright, club president. acted as mas
ter Of the ceremonies and showed
throughout his qualities for leader
ship and also gave good insight in>o
his Christian and manly character.
One Of the rules. which was observed
with only one exception. was that no
speeches We're TO be made other than
those made by the boys themselves.
The exception to this rule was hear
ing granted to Mr. 3. A Schnell, Of
Columbia. State Boys Work secre-
tary. He stated that after listening
10 the fine talks that had been made
by the boys that there was truly
nothing left for him 10 DO or say
However, he confined his remarks to
the pointing out Of the great an
lasting good that had resulted from
the recent boy.s work conference that
had been held in Sumter. The get
ting Of this conference in Sumter was
very largely due to the efforts upon
the part of the members Of the .Hif"
club. The other possible exception to
the house rule about speech making
was a short address made by Cuttlno
Mcknight He is always counted
however, as just one Of the boys. TIE
complete success of the work OF the
ply" club is in pant tc he con-
;ributed to the interest which Cut
tino has untiringly shown this year.
He has had charge for the most
part, Of all arrangements made for
the usual Sunday afternoon meetings
held in the y. Vi. c. A. building. Cut
tinos talk of last night had 70 deal
with the formation of a new club TO
be known as the Christian Comrades
club. This club Will be made pos
sible as a direct outSroWth from the
work which has been done and the
foundations laid by the present 'HiY'
club. The object Of this club will
be TO stress the Importance OF four
sides of the lives Of the young man
hood. namely, the physical, mental,
service and devotional sides. OF these
four sides the devotional will be the
one. to which the most weight Will be
added and most attention paid. This
club is to be organized now in the
very hear future. Several prelinlln-
airy meetings towards this end have
already been held and the boys are
showing marked interest in its for
nation. Cuttino explained in detail
az 70 the chart system which is TO
be used BY this club and showed
where it gave many young men who
had never previously thought along
this line a mighty good opportunity
TO check himself up" and TO spend
more time on those things in which
he found himself lacking. Cuttino in
his talk extended his thanks to the
ladies who had made the banquet
possible and to the girls upon whom
he had always called for hel-!.ls

ways respol.' ed to the call.
