              Best Gift of Time
'"pHE passing of years is like the coming of
dawn—slow, silent , inevitable. The most
eager cannot hasten the quiet , irresistible move-ment,
and the most reluctant cannot forbid. .
Some gifts the years bring which we would fain
. decline—age, sorrow, disappointment. Some
treasures they take which we would keep for-ever-^
youth , beauty, innocence. But .there are -
more precious treasures which time cannot sup-ply
and the years cannot remove—friendship,
patience, faith and love.—Herbert L. Willett.
Secretary For Y. W. C, A.
Miss Mary Hopp er Writes of Prospects For
Hershey Association
H
' [VERY metnfcer of the Y. W.
C. A.-i s tejbicing over the
fact thaid a secretary has
¦— 1 been calleqf to begin work in
January, and to know that with her
coming all the long months of faithful
working- and patient waiting on the
part of the board of; directors and mem-bers,
will begin to bear fruit.
Miss.Alice S. Elder, of Salzburg, Pa.,
who has been a teacher for many years
and has taken the training for the sec-retaryship
in the Territorial Training.
Center at Germantown, is to be general
secretary of the local association. ,
With the splendid rooms in the park
so well adapted to bur use that have
been given us by Mr. M. :; S. Hershey,
the work will have more than adequate
equipment for a young association, not
more than ten months old.
Classes in gymnasium, shirtwaist
making, embroidering and millinery
will be the beginning of a large educa-tional
department. Bible classes, both
in • the Sunday School lesson and the
Life of Christ, will make association
of service to the churches by training
the teachers in the Sunday School.
The association rooms will be open
Sunday afternoons for young women to
feel at home, have a quiet talk with
the secretary and enjoy a short gospel
services. When the new garage is
completed early in the spring', that will
become the boarding' department of the
association where forty splendid rooms
will be available for at least eighty
young women. This \tfill give a real
home to young women irom a distance
who -are employed in the factory or of-fices
and who really want to be at
home. There will also |be a cafeteria
lunchroom similar to the one in the
Harrisburg Y. W. C. A., where each
young woman serves Herself and not
only saves time but gets a good lunch
at very reasonable xates.
All these good things coming at this
time, of the year seems to be a splendid
Christmas gift to the young women of
Hershey, and * with the spirit of love
and joy and peace which- the Lord
Christ brings to every heart, the asso-ciation
of young women, called by His
name should be a real blessing riot only
to Hershey but to neighboring towns
as well. < ; • ' ¦;. . . ¦
If every one who is now a member of
the association should try to get four
new members by January 15, a riot im-possible
task, it would be entering into
the real spirit of service and sharing all
their good things with her friends.
I wish all • association . members in
Hershey a Happy Christmas and Glad
New Year.
