You'd rather keep men who keep pace with your growth, who rise from the rudiments to be directing heads. Such men are worth most to you. Their scars of experience, onco acquired, do not have to be duplicated in a string of successors, each of whom must make similar bulls and mistakes at your expense. But atrophied, anaemic frames do not generate staying power. Stunted, undeveloped minds are not capable of initiative. The man whose moral fibre has not been wrought and shaped is not to be trusted with the fullest responsibilities—morality is not an instinct, but a product of environment. Only the boy who possesses strength within himself can lend strength to your organisation. While he isgiv-. ing you his youth, give him the opportunity to give you a broader, a more useful and a more profitable manhood. The Y.M.C.A. is adding the temper of character to scores of young men who need its' gymnasium for their bodies, its night educational classes for their brains, and its ethical influence for their character uplift. The - more men it can help, the better it can help the commerce of the town. It needs money to carry on its work. Help yourself by helping the Y.M.C.A. to help some of your boys.
