Seen and Heard — Y.M.C.A. Lecture on "Self Control"

Council Bluffs, Iowa, 1908

March at Y.M.C.A. — An address by H. C. Raymond, the veteran fruit grower, on "Self Control," and a resume by F. J. Day, president of the Young Men's Christian Association, of the work so far accomplished by the organization, formed leading features of the Y.M.C.A. literary meeting last evening. The program was in general appropriate to the month of March, Mr. Day's remarks being peculiarly fitting because of the fact that the Y.M.C.A. enterprise in this city was begun in March. Mr. Raymond made a forceful talk on the conservation of both physical and mental powers. Historic events that took place in March, the life and work of St. Patrick and other subjects bearing on the month under consideration were discussed by the younger members of the association. For some unexplained reason, the March hare was left shivering on the doorstep and did not come in for any discussion. Attractive music varied the otherwise literary character of the program.
