There ia hardly a phase of the Y. JJ. C.

BLANKS, General Secretary Hoys’ Work Secretary DOES THE CONCORDY PAY DIVIDENDS? The eyes of all America have been turned for three years on the Concord Association, its work has been writ ten up in many Association bulletins. Itis program has been copied far and near. It's critics have said that it's program of financing could not be a success. Jt has been a great success and it remains for the citizens of Con cord to show the rest of the world that they believe in the program; that they believe in doing for those not so fortunate as to be able tp do for them selves; that the principle ot the Con cord Association—that of opening the membership to every citizen is worth much more than the selling of privileges or the ruhning of a cheap boarding house. More than five thousand people have enjoyed the benefits of the membership Plan of the Association, and in years past Concord’s citizens have gladly paid the bills. THE CHIEF OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAM OF THE CON CORD Y 16* NOT ATHLETIC— h- While today it has,.-* -program not excelled by an Association'in America in Athletics, its greatest object and aim is to train the youth of our city for leadership in religious and social and civic enterprises.
