On the other hand, it must be very gratifying to all who know of the work of your organization, to witness its good progress and accomplish ments.

Al though we have not been winders ev ery time we have- had the satisfaction of knotting that winning the goodwill of many cities, communities, schools, etc., mean a good deal more! to’ns-at representatives of Concord , than win ning competitions alone.

Grand total, ncludlng all activi ties over 414,000—last year’s figures. Concord, N. C., May 6, 1926. Dear Mr. Blanks: Because of the press of other duties, I have not been able to take an active part in the advantages offered by tha Y. M. C. A. since you have had it in charge, hut I can truly say that I have watched the good work go on with much interest and all good wishes, and that I think you have been most successful in the work. May I mention just a few of the many things that have been done by your organization in Concord to en rich the lives of oiir boys and girls? First, to the best of my knowledge, it is the only Y. M. C. A. which does not charge a membership fee. This enable? it to reach out and touch the lives of. many more young people than it could otherwise do, and Bil lows tha underprivileged, child .to en joy the game advantages as those more favored by fortune. Am I correct in my belief that it is the only organization of its kipd that co-operated directly with the public school in the matter of health education to the extent of sending its physical director into the schools dai ‘ly to give instruction in physical edu cation? It is impossible to estimate 1 the value of such training' to our children the past two years. Only time can fell of this benefit. I feel that you are doing a great work in training the boys and*girh> to be bet ter citizens by means of your ‘t‘eam” games which teach them to work to gether for the good of all, rather than for a selfish end. Mr. Denny's splen did exhibition given recently at the Concord Theatre, furnished abundant proof of the excellent work he is ac complishing in his "gym’ l classes. In the matter of entertainment the Y lias always stood in the forefront since you have been here. I am thiuking particularly of the two love ly May Day Fetes that have been pre sented on the lawn. A Pet and Hob by Show each year has delighted the boys and girls, as well ns older lovers of animals. The Y circus day is al ways a gala day among the young folks of our, city. The Y always has something pleasant and different to mark such holidays as Hallowe’en, Patrick’s Day, etc. A year or so ago the Y arranged for a program of vocational guidance which I thought was especially fine. In this, young boys who felt that they would like tp train themselves for a certain work in the world, had a chance to confer with 'older business men, who were experienced in their respective lines, as to their hopes and aspirations. Kvery effort was made to help the young boy to ascertain whether or not he had' any talent for the work he desired to do. Perhaps if more of this kind of work were done everywhere, there would not be so many "misfits” in .the business and professional wofld—so many square pegs in round holes. Last, bht, not leafet, the Y has never lost sighFof wl»at"tM“C!’ inits name stands for. it is a’Christian organiza tion, and, as 'such, his contributed greatly .to the religious life of our city. Each" year, it has reminded the people of - tbh spirit of Christmas and what it should mean. It has taken the lead in. the matter of providing for the wants of those in need at that season, hf bringing them in touch, with those desiring to cele brate Christmas in the best way. The Bible story contests, put on an nually, have done more, perhaps, than any one thing to stimulate an, in terest in the study of the Bible on the part of young people. And one of the finest religious influences abroad in our town, now, is the Sunday Gang. The boys are led to like to attend re ligious services, and the rules of the organization rail for a high moral code. In living up to its require ments. the boys are trained in ideals of Christian citizenship. Although. I do not believe another Y. M. C. A. ean be found anywhere that has done so much' for the young people, physically, mentally, and spir itually. What would we do without its wholesome and uplifting influence? Wishing you still greater success in'the future than you have had in the paat, I am, Your sincere friend, MARY F. KIDD. THE CHURCHES OF CONCORD .
