There are trained leaders for many things from the professions down to the most menial of jobs; but when it comes to the training of leaders along social and recreational lines, then ' the average town and cityis woefully behind. v We are realizing as never before the importance of play that 1 . i God-give- . - j background of his sober musings' and suddenly as never before he realized the shortness of individual life. Suddenly he comprehended that such life consumes scarcely a second in this scheme of things through which the earth itself lives but a day. And somehow thei thought soothed him. He discovered a longing to merge with the vastness, to lose his identity and become of the infinite. e He fancied it would be to disport with the wisdom of the spheres, unthinkably thrilling to throb- - withthat infinite consciousness which tolerates the aspirations of the individual but lends the power of achievement only to humanity as a whole. With this idea claiming his faculties, he became aware of a change in his surroundings. No longer could he feel the warmth of the sun ; nor could his fingers locate the reassuring knots on his cane. The voices of the birds were 'silent. He seemed to be sinking into a void with a stillness that struck no sound. Then, distinctly as a bell, he heard a voice speaking. And the tone of the voice was gentle, for it spoke of those who people an insignificant garden whirling among the countless bodies that inhabit an ever changing and endless space. The old man did not imagine" this, for clearly he heard the voice say: You, who feel yourself. old, were indistinguishable of the whole and I breathed in you and at once you became separate, distinct, as a bubble blown from The sea. You were given youth and power and individuality. But like the individuality of the raindrops that live and fall, some sparkling in splendior, others dashing unseen in the darkness so do you live and fall. Those that are born of the sea, return to the sea, for, of all things in the Universe, nothing can perish except th?tpower of the individual. Regret, therefore, no failure of personal 'gain. Your reward will be measured not by what you have accomplished for yourself, but by what you have done for the whole.

But the game must be learned as well as the principles of organization and instruction. Someone must do the teaching and many must learn. The cumulative experiences of the country must be tabulated and sorted, the bad discarded and the good saved. Then this be put" in proper form and made available to the communities throughout the land. The job is never finished because people are never finished. Civilization is advancing and the problems and needs are forever changing. The procession is forever moving onward. A few people are well ahead of the procession, others are keeping up to it, others are catching up, but the great mass are in the rear and almost lost to sight. Community Service, Inc., workers, with their great national laboratory of experiments and service, are helping the whole pro- cession onward.
