On window-sills,
That those they love
May guide their steps Alright!
SO like
A little lamp that shone
For me, in days of yore-
So like little lamp that shines,
On earth. for me
No more!
And when at evenfall, the stars
Dark hills of heaven jet.
They are not stars to me, but lamps
That waiting mothers set
On window-sills
OF heaven
That we may not forget!

In the Fall of 1922 the Bath Y. M.
c. A. was in debt to the extent of
$4,000 with no visible means of sup
port and the building in deplorable
condition. Today the institution
stands cleared of debt with a name
as good as gold in the financial
| world and offering one of the best
! programs for it's members that any
similar institution in Maine offers,
considering the size of the town
that harbors the Bath association.
This remarkable achievement was
accomplished through the untiring
efforts of Bath women, the Board of
Directors, its young secretary and
last but not least the awakening of
the people to it's value.
