ceedings began by singing, prayer rat theta °Here 1 by
Mr. Mic'eoletts, the secretary, of Weymouth, after
which • portion of Seripture was read, when the chair.
than stalled upon Mr. Thiselton, lam of Poole, but now
of Weymo3th, to read a pap r on " Tho b.'s: moans to
induce young men to join." Me stated that the air
Associntions of the county contained 210 members, the
largest number being at Poole, whilst, he thought, the
number clubd be increased very largely, if proper
effort i were used, lie offered various hinti to this end.
A discussion followed. Ur. Dix); the secretary of
the Dorchester Association, spoke of tmir system of
working. Their test of unomberahip wis CIO Christian
character of the young NO:la prepesed and they are

Led as associate, by which they he! use of a library of
450 eels., ant th i pririlego of atteuliug meetings, but
were not eligible to take part in its management. The
secretaries of Weymouth, Poole, and Liridport follows I.
One of the spuakere said that to irburo success it
would be wise to have the troollif of the society always
open, if not all day, every evening, so that members
might be able to take advantage of opportunities pre-
senting themselves, having • plum whets to take any
they might induce to accompany them. It would, he
thought be vire useful if the plan adopted by the
Dilate! Association, of supplying a cup of tea or coffee
and a couple of biscuits for 23 could be adopted ; this
would make the rooms a sort of home for young men,
"Ad Provo • touter attraction to the hotel airl public
places of ri.sort, especially if tuagazinei or other papers
could be provided for them. The afternoon meeting
was brought to • close by a hymn an] a short prayer.
After • quarter of an boar's stroll in the county town,
the party returned again, and found the tables beauti-
fully supplied with the necessaries for waling and en-
joying a really good km, all being provided by the
excellent Chairman, who lime alwaya token a deep
Interest in the spiritual welfare of young men. When
the tables were cleared, the evening meeting began by
singing and prayer, and reading a portion of scripture.
The Chairman then called upon Mr. Charles Edmunds,
