“There are three things which are greatly needed to-day," said the Rev D. Gardner Miller, when speaking at the annual tea of the Y.M.C.A. last night. “They are (1) social justice, (2) racial friendship and (3) a warless w-orM.” To get these things, he said, a race of men was needed who were fit, morally, phvsically and mentally fit. This was the class of men the Y.M.C.A. were endeavouring to turn out. A nation’s greatness was to be measured not in terms of wealth and poverty but in the fitness of its youth. There was a great need at the present time for the type of manhood the YM.CA was turning out.
