520			_aPast President of the Rotary Club of Manila and Past Governor, District No. 48, R.I. I consider the following as the most important Tests of a Mature Rotary Club: 1. IS THE CLUB GROWING NORMALLY IN MEMBERSHIP? The unfilled classifications should be filled as soon as possible. The undesirable members of the Club, the dead wood, should be eliminated. 2. IS THE PROGRAM OF THE CLUB WELL- BALANCED? A Club in its infancy, naturally, emphasizes the Club Service and later the Community Service. But, as it grows older, it should emphasize equally the four (4) avenues of service. Programs should not be one-sided or lop-sided. 3. ARE THE FINANCES OF THE CLUB SOUND? A mature Club sees to it that the financial obligations of the members are met as promptly as possible, and that the Club's obligations to third par- ties, especially to Rotary International, are attend- ed to with the least possible delay. A Club is not mature which allows its funds to disappear through improper administration. 4. DO PEACE, HARMONY, FELLOWSHIP, AND GOOD WILL PREVAIL AMONG THE MEMBERS? A Rotary Club is composed of mature and responsible men, and there is no place in it for un- reasonable and intolerant men. Little differences or misunderstandings should be ironed out as soon as possible, thus preventing them from assuming threatening proportions. Let all Rotarians remember that a Rotary Club is a "fellowship Club." Let us, therefore, "give" and "take" in the best spirit of Rotary.
