NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER "I hfch the, o Lord rwi. that

r OUR BEST IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Fred. Ifanson. the new regional secretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association having under his supervision
the activities of the Pacific slope states, in his initial visit
wfth the Salem local board and official staff last week, illus
trated his functions in the newly created position which he
occupies by telling of an experience of the board of directors
of the Y. M. C. A. of New York City.
"theniembers of that board, a couple of ears ago, con
sidering the needs of the work of the metropolis, decided that
it was necessary to ask for a new building and betterment
fund of $9,000,000
And it was decided to send a letter to John D. Rockefeller
Jr. asking that gentleman to subscribe half the sum.
Mr. Rockefeller received the letter
And replied to it.
In the first place, he said hve was interested. And he
followed this statement with a series of questions, something
like these: Were the old buildings of the New York Y. M. C. A.
in the proper locations? Were they so arranged as to allow
the most usful work? Were they properly equipped? Just
what was the highest function of the Y? Were the official
staffs doing as well as that many employed officers should
do? Was their work properly supervised? Where would the
proposed new buildings be located? And, lastly, was $9,
000,000 enough money?
The members of the board at their next meeting consider
ed Mr. Rockefeller's reply
And they could not answer it., '
It was suggested that an expert be called in, from Colum-
! bia university. This was doneC ' The etxpert said the answer
! might be hsd, but it would take a survey of a year, and it
would cost $40,000. The directors agreed,' and personally
subscribed the 140,000-
And the result is that three of the great Y buildings in
the metropolis are to be. sold for other uses; one of them" a
historic building. And nearly all the new buildings are to be
located in different places than was contemplated by the
directors when they asked for the" $9,000,000.'. And nearly all
the old buildings are to be rebuilt and rearranged
Not only this, but the New York survey has resulted in
the greatest Y building in Minneapolis being built over, so as
to provide many small club rooms; and the same thing is
happening throughout this and other countries.

The lesson is that, no matter how well you are doing, you
might do better. And your best is not perfection. Your best
is not good enough. You may not, by taking thought, add a
cubit to your stature; but by making a survey and taking
thought you may improve upon your work
Andmake yourself a greater use to your day and genera
tion. -- .
Fortunately, the Salem Y has a splendid J new, building.
Its arrangement is good, for its purposes. But time will show
chances for improvement. What are its purposes? What is
the Y for? It does many things, and properly so, and does
them well. But the whole purpose is character building, and
many essentials are in the ingredients of character, building,
looking to purposeful, useful lives. ...
HOT air v
Through the Loud GpcQlicr
Scientists hint that eventually they'll be able to broad
cast heat. When that time comes coal -men will be
operating broadcasting stations and you'll be tuning in
your radiator as well as your radio. However, that's but
a whisper from the future. ;. :
In the meantime the wise buyer continues to. use
Hillman Fue) company's quality fuels 'And"f or the very' .
simple reason that the coal is hand picked at the mines
which prevents all static, now known.asclinkers;-it is'
low in volatile thus preventing all interference, in the
flues; and is high in B. t. u.'s thus making perfect re-,
ception, of the heat. Also, it probably costs a whole lot
less than the heat txf the future through the loud
speaker.
Call 1855 or 27 today. That's the answer to the burn
ing question ef the present.
