The religious work of tlio Y
M. C. the past year has been
most eftcouragittg. Fourteen Bible
classes were conducted last Win
ter and Spring, and it is planned
to do a much larger work along
this Una the comine' Winter." It
is expted the SERVICE MEM
BERSHIP will increase the Bible
class work as this Is one of the
rennfaiten for MembershiD.
The ' Sunday afternoon .'optm
air services during the months of
July and August were well at-
tended. Able addresses were del
livered by the various Pastors ot
the City, Churches and , several
prominent Speakers from the out
side were secured: It is the
plan to increase the popularity of
these -services next Summer.
., It is hoped that Boys will be
more Interested in Sunday Schoof
work through the o-operation of
Committees representing the vari
ous Schools of the City . which
will operate tin connection with
the service membership of the 'Y.
The National Leaders of the
Y. M. C. A. are putting special ef
fort into the Religious depart
ment of the "Y." Mr. Jdhn R.
Mott will devote three months
visiting the larger Associations in
the U. F. to create interest in
the religious work.'?
Secretary; Allen, of the Seattle
"Y. ,has charge of this special
work- for the Pacific ''Northwest
and-is planning : to have teams

ritory v
The Rengions work committee
of the local ' Association win co
operate in this o special endeavor
feelinV that. 'any effort to Interest
our Boys aid Young Men in the

CItairman Boys' Work Committee.
the boys' work of the Salem
Association is one of the most in
teresting and one of the most pro
ductive of opportunities. ,. Our pro
gram as outlined last year .was far
exceeded during the year in most
instances due solely to the excel
lent work of Executive Secretary
Kells and Physical Director
Boardman. Our service member
ship was an experiment In the Sa
lem "YV and was on trial. We
are proud of the result obtained.
The Y. M. C. A. in Salem is no
longer an exclusive club for boys
who can pay their dues but is open
to every boy in the city through
the service membership plan. ,Ve
are not guessing now'. We know
it can be done, and with the ad
dition of the Boys' Secretary El
liott our Influence should reach
every boy.
Among the activities specially
planned for this seasons "work
are: - '
1. Further promotion of the
successful boys' service member
ship to make it more inclusive and
the ; service feature of-; more and
more importance in the dally lives
of the boys.
2. A more intensive program
for the individual boys and class
work. . v .
