"It Is my hope," said Mrs. Mulli-
gan, "that they will be air inspira-
tion and a call to all Mankind to lift
their hearts and minds to God as the
days and years of life's grim battle

ae; Dew president, who letroduced Al
Murray.
The report of the year's activities,
_I'S read by the treasurer, G. F. Grind-
rod, showed total receipts during the
year of $1,861. The Association had
a deficit of $148 at the beginning of
the year. This was reduced to twen-
ty' dollars, E. C. Boswell reported for
the auditors—himself and M. A Reid.
Welcoming the •guests, Dr: IVIcMas-
ter commented that he may times had
been asked, "Does sport pay divi-
dends?" "In answer," the said, I al-
ways like to make a comparison. For
intstance, watch the man you meet on
'the street. How often do we see men
and boys slumping around, never
standing erect, throwing„ themsetses
out of shape -trying to find .a muscle
a little stronger „than others to sup-
port them. What is the result? A
crooked, bent and unbalanced body,
with muscles. and nerves out of place,
unable to perform their functions pro-
perly. The result, a weakened body.
On the othee hand,n, he continued,
''sports develop the very opposite.
Boxing and baseball develop judg-
ment; football, will power and cour-
age; hockey, aggressiveness and mote
courage. That these statements are
based on fact a shown by your ex-
perience."
Toast To Sport
Charles Stewart, in replying to a
toast to Sport, proposed by Tom Sills,
said: "As your c:hairman has put a
time limit on. me am not going to
take much of your time. I would,
however, like to take time to leave a
thought with the younger members of
the Seaforth sporting fraternity. It
is this: Sport never leaves any man
the way'it finds him. Either it builds
up a strong, healthy body by judicious,
consistent training, or you do 'untold
injury to your heart and imalth, by
endeavoring to play gruelling games
when you are not in condition. Mahar
you develop keen mines by learning
to think and act quickly and correct-
ly, or you become an indifferent and
ineffective player. Either you bullet
up character by learnieg- self-control,
control of your tounges and tearnpers,
control of your passiots and appe-
tites or they control you. Either you
lteax-n to win and respect yoar adver-
sary; to loose and still respect your-
self, to take it on the chin, and stalks
Either you are a square shooter sect
a fair player, or a chiseller.
"Why do I tell you this? Because
sport is like a 'big separator; you
come out either wheat or chaff, and
whatever you are when you quit sport,
that is about the kind of sport you
will be to the end of the road. The
same strong body, the same clear
mind, the same Sterlin,g character,
the same courage and confidenee land
fortitude that is necessarytto ,win in
the game .of sport is'essentiaa WI win
in ate game of life. '
"It Is of paramount Imeortance that
the young men of to -day come through
clean living, straight ehooters. Be-
cause there never was a time when
the world needed men, strong in body,
clear in mind, dependable in charael
atm', men .of courage and vision, than
it does to -day. You young men, vehen
