ISOLATION is not club; it is not a
creed; it is not a charity 1t is COM
raueship based on a common faith. 1t
is not an institution but rather mode
of expression of that part of the
Christian church, able to unite upon
a common religious program. 1t is
in some sense, however imperfect,
concrete expression of the love of
Christ in any community
mo organization can long maintain
life without definite purpose. The OBJ
jective of the association is the deyel-
opment of Christian character. Char
acter is largely a matter of contagion.
Long ago great traveller said: i am
part of all whom | have met So
with the contagion of Christian char
acter as a definite object, our first
ideal for the association is that every
person in responsible position, shall,
in all her relationships as social be-
ing, embody the spirit of Christ, and
that through every department shall
throb the spirit of our Master. 1t is
this ideal which unifies all work and
makes the gym class, the club meet
ing, the travel class, cross country
hike, party, and the warm welcome
OF the association headquarters as re-
ligious IN purpose as vesper service
or Bible class.
"The work is administered by a
board of directors who are in full
sympathy with the purpose of the as
ISOLATION. They are directly respon-
sible to the membership for carrying
out the purpose and idea of the organi-
cation. To carry out the work of the
organization, there is an employed
staff of full-time trained workers, I'M
der the direction of the board, and the
part-time volunteer worker who
serves on standing and special COM
mittees.
