Delegates from many Young Men's Christian asoclations in the state and from many stote churches convened at the Central Baptist church on Friday morning for the 15th annual oconference of the older Connecticut boys. The conference, which will continue today (Saturday), was opened Friday morn- ing ot 11:16 o'clock with fully 100 dal_e_- sates in attendance. From 10 until 71:15 the time was occupied with reg- jstrations and this continued through- out the day, quite a few delegates ar- riving for the afternoon session. - As cach - one hée was given a program, a button and a banquet ticket. . Allyn L. Brown, chairman of the entertainment committes, was in charge of the registration and was as- sisted by Arthur Libby and George S. Jyde. Tho registrations were made in the Y. M. C. A. building while the conference Was held in_the Central Baptist church. Edward H. Kessler of/| Ziolyoke, Mass., led the song service, Which opened the conference at 11:15 o'clock. Mr, Kesgler-is respected and loved, mot only by the boys of the Pa- per City, but also by the boys of Con- neoticut to whom he has rendered splen- did service as the leader of the music of their conferences, for four consecu- tive years. . Called to Order The convention vas then called to order by the state secretary of the Y. M. C. A, E. T. Bates, and the officers of the association were introduced to the delegates. The officers are: James E. Hitehcock, New Haven, president; Fred H. Purvis, Norwich, vice presi- dent; Fred R. Kirschner, Bridgeport, secretary; Carl E. Kinney, Jewett City, assistant secretary. Spoke on Enlistment Another devotional. period followed DIr. Kessler leading the singing, and the first address of the conference was given by H, W. Gibson, state secretary of the Boys’' division of Massachu- setts, who spoke on Enlistinent. Mr. Gibson has been the successful state secretary_ of the.Boys' divisions of Massachusetts for a decade or more, and he is no stranger in Connecticut. He prefaced his talk by reading the 18th verse of the fourth chapter of Matthew. He brought to the attention of his audience the flaming posters of the government advertising for the en- listment of recruits and touched on the fact that the life of a soldier is not as rosy as pictured in the poster. He said the fellow who enlists in Christianity will find the same kind of courage rises within him as when he is appealed to to enter a football contest, He urged forcibly all present to enlist in God’s work. The hymn, The Son of God Goes Forth to_War, was then sung. Howard A. Johnson, D/D., of Stam- ford, gave a very forceful address on Mustering In, Enlisting, the speaker sald, is just the starting point, and that after taking.that step one should get into the business. A man must go into the fight convinced to win and that it is for life To do orto die is the way of a true soldier. » Welcomed to Eastern Cennecticut A welcome was then extended all present by Assistant Secretary J.H. Ely, Who stated that it was the first time the conference had ever been held in eastern Connecticut. Don Houghton took a group picture of the delegates on the steps to the Central Baptist church, after the morning session. Hrnest Waldo Newbury officiated at the organ during the singing. . The members of the Woman’s auxili- ary served a cafeteria lunch for the flelegates. There were baked beans, frankfurters, rolls and coffee, Those who were in charge of this work were the president, Mrs, H, M. Pollock, and -:{rs.

T. Bates, the state secretary. On the March. ,After the slnging of two hymns, Ternon W. Cooke of Derby gave an ©ddress upon “On- the March”, Mr. fooke is a graduate of the School of teliglion of Yale University, class of 914. He is a magnetic speaker. Hav- 18 recently returned from Europe he vas well prepared -to 3 opic assigned to nim, o Uren the Mr. Cooke said that after the sol- fler is mustered in the army he then ‘oes through a training camp which mepares him for the battlefield. Con- Inuing he said that we sometimes di- ide our lives when it comes to body nd spirit. Our start is physical and he better we are trained along the Ight lines the better spiritual men re become. When boys go into camp ne of the principle things they are rught is obediance. Obediance is the Iw of possession. If we ‘want Some- ing in a certain reglm we must first f all remember that before that realm an give us the thing we must learn > obey. It matters not whether you re marching in the army of your vuntry or marching in the army of esus Christ you must first learn bediance if you would be a good sol- ler. We must keep step; we must vt lag behind or go before. Another| A )ng that will make us good soldiers B gihe march is lovalty.

He ‘szid we ho are lookinz forward to greater lings in life are living in an age of ipactancy, illustrating his point by iscribing the.hush of expectaney just ifore a bie coliege football game such | he witnessed at Princeton. Mr. oblnson spoke of those attending the mference as missionaries and hoped nt they would take back to the boyvs their h. towns what they think 11 help them along in the great bat- » of life, 5 Mr. Robinson said the delegates muld be proud of the fact that they >re numbered in such a gathering as © conference becalse of the great use which they represent and which is an influence absolutely incompar- 1o in the world.

Durkee, Rob- f| ert M. Balch, r| Holyoke—Edward H, Kessler, - and the great owrk the association is| Derby—Raymond Thompson, Frank- doing among the boys. In part he spoke as follows: The song of the boy is the song of life and joy. His super-abundance of life is o contagigus that it percolates into the system & the grownups. Even joyous boyhood however has its troubles. Sometimes they are mathematical sometimes pugilistic, sometime because of lack of social ad- justment. Whatever kind of trouble it may be, ha always knows there is one who cares and whose sympathetic heart responds to his own heart throbs —his mother. Through the careful guidance of mother, the boy emerges from the period of early boyhood into the period of youth. He is preparing to become a man and as he looks over the field of life he needs the guidin~ hand of fathe~, the friendship of one who is oldre and wiser. Blessed is that father who can retain the spirit of youth and be the chum of his own son. B Mr, Gibson paid, a tribute to the life of George Willlams, founder of the Y. M..C. A, who was impelled to begin this great work because he saw the awful temptations griping young men in London. He called together a few fellows in his bedroom to talk over conditinns' and engage in prayer. It should never be forgotten that the foundation of the Y. M. C. A, was laid in a prayer meeting of youg men, in an upper room of St. Paul's church- yard. The historic date was June 6, 1844, Twelve young men were pres- ent. _The jubilee of the foundation of the Y. M. C. A, held in London in J-ne 1894 was a striking public recog- rition of the worth of the organiza- tion as well as an overwhelmine testi- mony to the place George Williams held in the esteem of the people and in the personal affffection of every member of the association the world over. From a group of twelve men the organization had grown in fifty years to over 500 branches h a membership of-cver half a million. Years of triumph followed and the laters years of George Willlam’s life were crowned in honor. At 83 years of age he attended the Jubilee of the World’s Alliance of the Y. M. C. A. held in Paris in April 1905. A few months later he slept and woke no more in this world. His burial in St. Paul's cathedral was the right- ful honor paid to one of God's noblest citizens. Seven years after the little group of iwelve men founded the Y, M. C. A in London. Two groups of men came together in North America, one in Montreal and the other in Boston and organized Young Men's Christian as- sociations. The one in Montreal was organized November 25, 1851 and the one in Boston on December 29, 1851. From this small beginning came the present mighty organization of 1925 associations reaching from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific, occupying 1004 build- ings valued at 74 millions of dollars, employing 3,853 men as secretaries and other officers and having a member- ship of 600.000, - Prevention Better Than Cure, ‘We believe it is better to’train a boy to do right than to restrain him from doing wrong; easier to cultivate good habits than to remove bad ones; cheaper to prevent crime than to cure the criminal; businessiike to reform character than to try to reform it, and better to win a boy to Christian life when he is in the formative than to ‘wait until he is hardened. Boy leisure is a greater evil than boy labor. .It is during the leisure time that character is largely deter- mined. The boy must play. The boy without a playground is father to the man without a job. i The lure of the out of doors is ir- resistible to a red blooded boy. Char- acter is taught; not caught. Leader- ship is therefore an important factor. Capitalizing Christian leadership. is a bigger and harder job than capital- izing a new business venture. John ‘Wanamaker once said: “Save a man and you save one, save a boy and you save a whole multiplication table.” To lead boys into definite relation- ship with Jesus Christ and the church is the main objective of the Y. M. C. The singing of My Country 'Tis of Thee followed and the closing prayer was offered by C. C. Robinson.
