Fifty-three delegates were ga.u:ered| in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A.| when the president, Mrs. George P. Chandler, of Hartford, chairman of the state committee, called to order the 19th annual conference of Women's auxiliaries of the Y. M. C. A. of Con- necticut at 2.30 o’clock Tuesday after- noon. The opening meditations were led by Mrs. William G. Fennell of Hartford. Thie hall was beautifully decorated for the conference with laurel and autumu follage. On the platform on which were seat the state officers palms, ferns ‘and laurel were banked and handsome hydrangeas, asters and other cut flowers added to the beauty of the decorations. Welcome from Norwich President. Mrs. H. M. Pollock, president of the Norwich auxiliary, extended a warm welcome to the delegates and spoke of the benefits expected from the confer- enca.

A solo, My Redeemer and My Lord. was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Ar- thur B, Story of this city. Reported on Plans of Work. A member from each auxiliary rep- resented at the conference read a plan . of its work for the coming year, each paper being limited to three minutes. Many helpful suggestions and ideas were gained from these papers. Address by Mrs. C. F. Scott. The Value of a Dominating Purposo in Organized Effort was the subject of an Interesting address by Mrs. Charles Felton Scott of New Haven. There 1is, sald Mrs. Scott, a fire smouldering in the hearts of each one of these delegates, otherwise they would not be here, to carry on the work of this association. We all feel the dominating. purpose; to make the world a better place for our boys and to make better boys, the dominating purpose of the Young Men's Christian association. - Why is it that so many men are restless and dissatisfied with 'the old political parties and are deserting thein for other parties of organized effort? Is it not that they feel that the old | parties have made organization their dominating purrose instead of lettinz the dominating purpose lead the par- ty? Each year these parties seek a new pollcy, some issue on which to; base their stand in politics. So it is with cur organizations, we choose new purposes from time to time, but all the while we have the great dominating purpose, that s always worth while. But we must keep alive to new issues, we must keep up to date. We must study and co-operate with other or- ~anizations and thus make our own work immensely more worth while, It is too often the mistake of a pastor to make his purpose that of building up the membership and finances of his parish. The member- ship is destrable, but the dominating purpose of the pastor should be the saving of souls. With the real object | of his mission ever in view, the mem- bership will care for itself. As an organization let us make it our purpose to benefit our state and our city. To start the work is the: main thing, Believe in your dreams and they will come to pass. Don't be afraid that your Individual thoughts won't count. There is, we all know, an immense need of cleaning v~ the city and the state. Are not these am- bitfons worth while? Let us live up to the full opportunities of the woman of the 20th century. Let us keep be- fore us our purpose—to save the souls of men, and if we care for the souls of others, God will care for our own. Matters of minor importance were considered and the session adjourned. On the close the various committees met for business. J Many of the delegates are being en- tertained during their stay here by members of the local auxiliary. Mrs. Irederic Cary and Miss A. L. Cogswell are the hospitality committee. The Delegates Registered. The following delegates were regis- tered:’ Mrs. A. M. Merrell, Mrs. Marie L. Kedzie, Mrs. C. J. Leopold, Mrs. Charles A.

The evening session in the parlors of the Osgood Memorial, Park cHurch, npened at 7.30 o'clock with a song service led by Mrs. Aborn F. Smyith of New London. The Woman's Part. Following the offering, Rev. John| Richard Brown, Ph.D., of Y‘.ridge]lort) gave an Interesting address on “The value of woman's co-operation in all large undertakings.” He sald in part: The phrase, “Search for the woman” was first coined by the police depart- ment of Paris and betame their motto whenever any great crime was com- mitted. It soon became a cynical mot- to for the whole world. In any enter- prise, good or bad, the heart of a woman must be enlisted. Any project of magnitude will soen become sterile unless it 1s produceg or fostered by the woman’s heart, The questions before the world to- day do not relate to any particular people, nor to any particular class of people. They are great questions. It will take fifty years to settle satis- factorily the problems before us to- day. The woman’s heart must be en- listed in every project, good or bad. She may be the evil genius, or the inspiration. There was never in his- tory any great project or change in which the hand of woman was not written large. 5 Women’s Advantages Over Man. We have reached the time when women must be the servant of the great undertakings of the age. Wo- man has three great advantages over man whereby it becomes her duty to take up this work, Women have more time than men. Perhaps the average woman manages to keep busy as long as the man, but, nevertheless, she has more time to herself. It is astonishing how many women really don't know what to do with their time. This is just the cause f,: many cases of nervous prostration ‘women. Women’s Interests Widening. The women have a wider interest in some things than they have ever had. This is much more evident in some parts of the country than In others. ‘Women are getting the franchise. In Colorado the women have come into their own, in some instances in a startling manner. ~ The women of our time have larger opportunities because these hours, which were at one time spent in the field, at the spinning wheel, later in the kitchen, are now their own. The women of “our American cities have an unused energy, sometimes expended uselessly. The energy of woman is like the flash of sheet lightning across the sky of social life, oftentimes spent uselessly. But when this energy be- comes a bolt of purpose there will be results. With his diversified interests man has not the opportunity and when he comes home at night he has not the moral energy to deal with great questions. In modern enterprises of any nature; moral and religious organizations, wo- man is either a partner qr a parasite. If she occupies the nest and does naught to improve or sustain it, she is a parasite, a very beautiful one, perhaps, but still a parasite. Woman must be a producer as well as man. We are just beginning to realize that the woman parasite must be dealt with as something abnormal. Will Not Accept Compromise. It is only woman who will know the final need of any change, any oppor- tunity, or any force that works through human life, Mere man does not know. He Is content to let good enough alone. ‘Woman insists and will not accept a compromise, Man judges from the commercial polnts of view, he looks out for his dividends, while woman has a sublime disregard for dividends and regards things in what her husband Al considers a most impractical light. 4 The fact is that she is regarding ulti- TW"O’S l'“j mate needs, and is dissatisfled with 1 the fulfilling of anything else. The o restlessness in the home does'not arise | from the husband. It begins with woman. Where man thinks things are | settled at home he is suddenly assured by woman that nothing is settled. Viewpoint of Value. This sense of ultimate need makes the viewpoint of woman of wvalue. They determine the last sacrifice. Wo- man always makes the last sacrifice in the crisis; not man, It is woman who goes down into the valley of the shadow of death and makes the last sacrifice to perpetuate the race. What the woman is willing to sacrifice de- termines the value of any project. In the time of the civil war it was said that the side which could furnish the most dead would win. The north fur- nished a million more dead than the south, and won. Who made the sac- rifice? The wives, the mothers, the sisters. We don’t know what will come of the battle of today, but the woman must make the sacrifice. The men, too, must sacrifice, but the last sacri- fice is always made by the woman. Jane Addams demanded “What will the new party do to make safe the life and honor of the working girl, to & give the children of the street a home mgs. and a chance, to make the man come home less a sodden slave and more an understanding mind?” Sh: says that no party can claim the suffrage of woman that cannot bring up these final questions éf social righteousness. Jane Addams is a great representative American \woman. The creation of a new emrtfi in our country needs wo- men® Bverything for great and, final change demands the heart and hand' of woman. There are two alternatives for her. Partner or parasite—which? At the conclusion of the address,| Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard rendered | The Will o' the Wisp In a pleasing manner. A reception by the Norwich auxiliary followed and a delightful social time was enjoyed. Refreshments were served. 2 Programme Today.
