spirit. The post World War / years
during which / grew up were lean
years for the Christian churches
A lot of otherwise high grade and
moral people were either too
ashamed or too lazy to go to
church and to stand up and be
counted as Christians or as believ-
ers in Christian principles. The Y
never shrank from this respon-

Of religious interest and religious
faith in this country. and our
Christian churches are now larger,
stronger, more confident and more

time, the Y has taught our young
men to believe and act according to
Christian principles. Here are two
simple but memorable examples
from my own experience.
"There was club at old East
Z that was roughly equivalent to
a junior Hi-Y club. 1t was called
the Wistgoma Club. It's motto was
taken fro mthe Bible. "And Jesus
increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man."
The first two letters of the words
wisdom, stature, God and man
formed the name Wistgoma and
the motto formed the backbone
of our program. Later, during
Senior Hi Y days, one of the most
memorable activities occurr at
the end Of each weekly meeting.
We stood in a circle and each
member took his turn at being told
by his fellow members just what
in his conduct and attitude needed
correction and Improvement. We
didn't pull our punches. Somehow

describes herself as a dirt garden

a chatty-type presentation on BE

When asked to cite the most

DR.. Russell Siebert, speaking at
the Farm and Home Week pro-
gram at the University of Della

usually start with a single plant,
perhaps rose, or a dogwood, or
a holly. AS he works with it, his
curiosity becomes aroused and he
trys new varieties or strains. Then
pretty soon you have an expert"
Such is the description of Mrs.
DeCoursey regarding begonias.
Her enthusiasm is contagious and
she gains many followers wherev-
er she talks about them.
