“Y” Pays Big Dividends
The following ere a few letters
picked at random from more than
£OO letters received at the Y from the
i 800 letters received at the Y from the
1 boys and girls of Concord
May 5 1020.
1 1 Dear Mr. Blanks:
1 1 You have benefitted our school won
ji. derfully by sending Mr. Denny liere ;
11 to give physical training. We are all
i|: very grateful for the pictures on Sat
urday nights, also.
i 1 Almost everyone in Concord heard
2 some part of the Bible Story Contest
i and if they. didn't they don't know
' what they missed.
We are all greatly pleased that we
, 1 can have you at the Y. Every child
[ in town has gained something from
i “the work of the Y.”
i' Many of us are interested in the
i May Festival and the circus. Also
j i the Sunday Gang must not be let!
out, either'. Many a boy has taken in
’ terest in Church that no one else
1 would have urged to go save you.
i We would miss the Y very much if
i it were closed. The Y has made many
J people move “up and about" since yon
j came here.
I am glad of such a good chance to
'I show my appreciation of the work of
; the “Y”. Again thinking you for your
wonderful work, I will close.
Your little friend,
NANCY HAYWOOD.

i| Dear Mr. Blanks:
|j I wish to tell you wbat I think of
i the “Y.” I think the “Y” is one of
'[ the best things in Concord for the
|j young and old. Whoever does not
i come to the “Y” certainly misses
'I something fine.
ij The fine exercise thnt you give our
- school daily, if you did nothing else it
J; would pay Concord well. The pupils
r have gained so much in weight, in
lung capacity, in taking directions
J properly and 'n co-operation,
i One of the finest things is the Bible
1 Story Telling Contest. It helps the
I children to speak before audiences. It
t is one of the finest things Concord has
' had in religious training,
i Another fine thing is the Sunday
' Gang. It teaches the boys to go to
i Church. Some would hang around
1 stores when they should be in Church.
, I never "ih dll my life have seen
i such good entertainments and I have
| lived in five cities. The movies are so
good, the circus and all the entertain
ments are good.
The “Y" has such good clubs at
nearly every mill in Concord, This
brings the boys and girls into closer
touch with the “Y.”
Sincerely yours,
KI TH KESTEB.

. Concord. X. C.,
Dear Mr. Blanks:
We all should be proud of the Y
for what it has done for us. The ex
ercise has made us strong and healthy.
The reason I go to the Y' is because
I go to a gym class and enjoy the many
games and sports which will make my
\ body strong.
And another good thing in the sum
mer timers the swimming pool, which
every boy and girl loves. The Central
School enjoys the physical training
which is given by Mr. Denny. Then
1 we have a good time going on arrow
| head hunts and hikes and another
thing is the free movies which arc giv
' en every Saturday night. And I am
i sure every boy and girl enjoys the
i movies. Another thing is the circus
j and shows which every boy and girl
i likes.
One of the other great benefits is
i the Sunday Gang, which all the boys
like and it is a good thing for the
i boys that they might attend Sunday
' school and church every Sunday. And
| some times Mr. Blanks takes the gang
i on trips and hikes. If the Y were
1 closed the boys and girls of Concord
| would not have a good time like tliu^
I had when the Y was open, and they
[ would get no training for their minds
! and bodies. That is why we all should
[ appreeiate the Y and* all it has.
j done for us.

IDear Mr. Blanks:
One of the benefits of tlic Y. M. C.
A. that I like is the stamp club, be
cause it is great fun collecting stamps.
I have had people laugh at me for col
lecting stamps. They think they are
not worth anything, but they are like
any other hobby. I have a good many
stamps which I like to spend hours
: with putting them iti my stamp book,
i As I put them in I like to look at their
carious pictures.

\ My dear Mr. Blanks:
I want to tell you how much I en
i joy the Y. It’s gym classes, swim

I would certainly be a lonesome Tilace,

B Dear Mr. Blanks: ,
5 I appreciate the Y. M C. A. be
ll cause it improves me physically, men
Xj tally and spiritually.
1 1 First. The Y has gymnasium class*
s es that 1 may attend daily. At the
! public schools I take physical truin
■ iug under the direction of Mr. j. W.
? Denny.
Second, by taking physical train
ing it keeps my mind fresh and able
to do the best in my studies and my
• work.
!• Third, Last, but not least, for my
I spiritual improvement the Y has the
• Sunday Gang that I may attend. The
Bible Story Contest that I may enter
and many other things.
The “Y” lives up to its name—“ The
Young Men’s Christian Association.”
Sincerely yours,
STUABT HENRY.

Dear Mr. Blanks:
As a pastor of one of the smaller
churches of Concord, 1 can give you
hearty approval of the program of
work. You are doing a work that no
one of the churches could do. a work
that all the churches of Concord are
doing iu co-operation with the Y pro
gram.
In planning a new church provision
was made for the worship and the ed
ucational program that is 'needful to
day. YVe made no provision for the
recreational, and very little for the
social. The reason for it is that the
Y takes care of the recreational and
the social in a far better way than
the local congregation can. The Y'
provides both room and leadership.
The Y is doing a good work for
Concord and deserves the continued
support.
Respectfully,
W. C. LYEBLY,
Pastor, Trinity Reformed Church.

Dear Mr. Blanks:
I want to thank you for what you
have done for the boys and girls of
our town. I wonder wbat we did be
fore you came?
I have become more interested in
athletics, and am therefore stronger.
I have been helped by the physical
training that Mr. Denny gives us at
school, for 1 do not have the colds I
used to have.
I have enjoyed the clean athletic en
tertainments you have had at the "Y.”
I would hate to see the "Y’’ : close.
Sincerely,
WILLIAM CANNON.

M.v dear Mr. Blanks:—
I take pleasure ill adding my mode
of praise for the splendid work you
are doing in our city. I think Con
cord would bo getting it cheap for
twice the money.
You have added greatly to my hap
piness and effectiveness during the
one year I have been privileged to as
sociate with you. For this I am
grateful.
YVith the equipment and means that
you have at hand I think the amount
accomplished is truly magnificent. Any
organization that is doing ns much
for a community as yours is doing
should have the hearty co-operation
and support of every public spirited
citizen.
Sincerely,
R. S. ARROYVOOD.

THE COjjßfep DAILY TRIBUNE
The Y. M. C A. a Builder of a
Community Center in Concord
The Y. M. C. A. of Osncord is do
ing a marvelous pies* of work for
this city in that it is serving as a lev
elling force to take away 'sonic of
those things that separate.people and
divide them into classes, T» is easily
Seen that class feelings keep down
many pieces of work iu the city that
should be put across. The churches
cannot do very much to put over a
city-wide movement because of the
denominational feelings Which come
to light iii our plank. Thercfore the
Y. M. C. A. is meeting a peat need of
the town in that it does not deal with
denominational issues. Our Y. M. C.
A. has as its task the bullying of a
new order in Concord. Any ope who
watches the work that is tjsarried on
in this institution can see tkat the ul
timate aim is for tlic largest amount
of good for the largest lumber of
people that it can possibly reach. Tlic
work which is being done In this in
stitution is a builder ofrigkt attitude
between man and man and at times
is trying to cause people to seek af
ter the righteousness of God.
The Y. M. <’. A. does not preach
sermons. Th<% Y’. M. C. A. does not
have a cut and dried system to which
it must conform. It lias no doctrinal
hobbies that it has to hold up all the
time. The Young Men’s Christian
Association of Concord to frying to
put full meaning into the name it
bears. The doctrine that it is de
fending is the doctrine of service and
helpfulness as is seen in the program
which Jesus brought to the world.
Jesus did not bring a religious pro
gram to the world and say work this
every Sunday and then run your bus
iness through the week as it seems
best. Instead Jesus tried to build up
a community of interest and helpful
ness. He wanted people to be relig
ious and He knew that in being relig
ious that that would take care ofetlie
whole life of the race. We cannot
continue to go on feeling that relig
ion is one thing, business another,

recreation another, social development

Many of the youth of Concord are
hungering for a unified program of
life and they are going to find it tet
ter at this place. Here is where spec
ial attention and effort is being given
to a program that meets the needs of
the youth. Recreation is good and it
is well supervised. The boy or girl
who cannot play by rules and do it
manly or womanly and at the same
time in an honest way will never be
able to live an honest Christian life.
The man or woman who lives in a
city 4nd cannot make some constribu
tion in a social way to building up of
the city should see a specialist: and
the greatest specialist that has given
a prescription for selfishness and nar
rowness was Jesus. When we take
His program and begin to live by it,
it means that we get into the best
relation to our fellow man and to
God. The Y. M. C. A. is working
along this line and is trying to wort:
up the best possible relation between
the people of Concord. If you are
not ashamed of your reputation in
the City or in some other place, you
ought to come to the Y. M. C. A. and
meet some people and see what is go
ing on there.
It is certain that the Churches of
Concord have been drawn closer to
gether. because of the work which
has been done at the Y. M. C. A. and
if the churches can be drawn closer'
together there evidently is something
of the community interest in it that
can draw the classes together and
cause us to see that we are children
of the same Heavenly Father. Con
cord ought to be proud of the com
munity of interest that is touching the
people as is the Y. M. C. A. Every
good citizen should give their moral
and financial support to the work
which is being done in this institu
tion.
