C.'A.work. W ell'laid foundations through the years have made this possible. When in 1SSD Weidensall presented the pos­ sibility of carry ing on Y. M. C. A. work without the use of buildings on the County or Community basis his words fell upon deaf ears- Finally after several years of waiting counties were organised here and there in several states. Not until 1903 did the International Committee provide national secretarial leadership for this de­ partment of work. In his unpunished memoirs, Mr. Weidensall tells the story of the reception given his message and plan, so 'unlike that of the Associa­ tion Employed Officers’ Conference of twenty-four years before. “ At the Princeton Conference Sep­ tember 4, 1903, I was especially favored with ample time to present the County work as it deserved to be. I was fully prepared with information from the whole field. The Holy Spirit was present in the Conference and prepared the way for. this ad­ vanced step. At the close of my address, Secretaries and Committeemen assured me that I had won my case and congratulated me on the sueeess of the work already accomplished. Vice-Chainaam of the International Committee, Mr. Marling, with his congratulations, said, “ Mrs. Marling and I want to give the first $100 for the support of the new secre­ tary and his work.” Mr. Mott said, “ My wife and I will give $100 to this work, and I never gave any money with more cheerfulness than I do this.” Other gifts followed, and with this good start, Mr. Weidensall soon raised the fund needed, and Mr. John R. Boardman, State County Work Secretary of Massachusetts and Rhode* Island was called and accepted the position as tile first fulltime Secretary of the International Committee for the Town and County Work. ' » „... Today four Secretaries servo on the National staff and many states give supervision to this ex­ tremely productive typo of Y. M- C. A. work. Dr. Warren H. Wilson who headed a commission which was asked to study the Town and County work made this significant statement before »the 1922 Inter­ national Convention, “ No influence in the country has been more effective for a modern community program in the name of Christ than the County Work Department..........I am here to plead for ex­ tension of that work.” One of the most inspiring scenes, that evçr catno to the attention of the Tidings editor, was staged last night in tl»e city council chamber. Ten men were gathered there, on one side of the railing sat fivo eonif»osing a portion of the present city council and the mayor. On the other side, sat Mayor Pierce, and four of the newly elected council. Both the old and the new were there for a pur­ pose, they had met there to work out some of the problems that confront the city of Ashland. The only thing tliat seperaled either the old and the new was the railing.” They were as united in their ideas as it is possible for ten men all working with a common purpose to be. And that was the beautiful thing about the meeting, these men all residents of Ashland, were giving of their time, in order that their city might receive the best. Thia spirit deserves the praise of the entire community, when men are found, who take the affairs of the city as seriously as these men, who are willing to give of their time and talent as imstintingly as these men, they should receive the cooperation of the entire community. The Tidings predicts for the new council a most successful administration, and to the old, we can hut say, by vour generous and broad minded atti’- tqde you have proved yourselves greater in defeat than had victory been yours- More and more college Mien are taking up crime as a pursuit, according to the warden (ff King King. Well, there are some great opportunities in that field right now. Two lmliy girls were found living in a wolf’s den in India. That completely substantiates Mr. Cross’ charges that the ladies are getting wilder and wilder. W. H. PERKINS, New« Editor Q J. BEAD, Manaani Editor ESTABLISHED IN J876 OUR WAV OH soq ' hé .
