This Association has ever been a
pioneer in the launching of schemes. for community betterment, some of which schemes have been adopted and furthered by other institutions. But you to attribute it is too generous this development solely or even prin- cipally to my efforts. As I look back over the years I can see a whole pro- cession of able and devoted men both in the lay membership and on the 08-sceretarial staff who have united their efforts for the common good. It is because of this united endeavour on the part of so many that the growth has been steady and uninterrupted.

It has been a real joy and privilege to have had a small part in this work, and I shall never forget that together we have shared in its dif-
culties and in its triumphs.
Thirty years is quite a long re cord for any one to be associated with one institution. In his period of long service with the Y. M. C. A., Mr. McPherson has seen many changes. Ho has seen the Chinese Y. M. C. A. grown from a little apartment on the site of what is
