"The Y. M. C. A" he continued, "has made, its mistakes. Its organization has been faulty In many respects. It ban perhaps been too nmbltlous, too grasping of opportunlt cs w hen It was not In a position to do them Justice. But I re turn from a close study of Iti work con vinced of tho magnitude of Its real accomplishments.
