Since the- organization of the Exchange Club we have all heard the question: a What is the 1 Ex change Club? I will venture a definition. It is a group of real men, organized for a definite pur pose, with a radiant spiiit. “The Man Who Just Belongs ft Don’t be the man who just be longs, • i Who just gets on the rides, Who joins the fellows in their songs,’ And nothing else besides. For men must work as wbll as play, Must give as well as take— You have to work as well as play, My boy, a club to make. The National ExSfoang^ Club has assigned a town ti riffin in which to establish an Exchange Club.” We know that Exchange is a good thing; we belWe' it to be the best of the civic clubs. It is our duty and privilege to take this Unity for Service to our neighbor. President Parson will appoint a committee of two men to be- in charge of the establish ment of the new club. Let’s co operate with the National Club and with this committee and put over this new club. The-members of thb new club will forever be thankful to our club, fort, we will give to them an opportunity to unite for service; the entire popu lation of the town in which the Club Is to be located will be grate ful to us, for we will give to them an organization having as its pur pose the betterment of that city. What does the Exchange Club believe? *The Exchange Club be lieves in a better America. .It is a sense of a Christian obligation —call it by what name you will. For all true religion carries with it the^Abiding foundation of mu tmrF'TtgpIce, mutual forbearance, mutual friendliness and a unity of service.
