Young Mems Christian Associa.ion Lee

AounS Mems Christian Association Lee
tures. Iaf tf7ss-
To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
Will you allow me to call the attention of
our people to the course of lectures to be de-
livered in this city, under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association. A
mere statement of the reasons why they should
be encouraged will be sufficient.
Their intrinsic oorth will far exceed the
cost. To say nothing of our own citizens
whose abilities need no commendation, such
names as those of Manning, Agassiz, Governor
Bullock and DIR. Storrs, cannot fail to inspire
confidence. A single lectare may be selected
from the list that will be worth more than the
expense of the whole course No more able
or popular list of names has been offered to
our people in former years. Z. n
2.-The loss Of the City Hall has made it al
most impossible to have our usual public lec-
lures for the want of a place where an audi
ence can he comfortably seated. But for these
lectures our churches are to be opened, which
will be even more comfortable than the City
Hall ever was. And yet the lectures are not to
be different from those of former years, but
are to cover the usual ground of morals, sci
ence and politics.
3.-The special object of this course is good
one. The Association lost all its property by
the fire, valued, including the library at 81
500. They do not design to purchase another
library. But they wish to be able to secure
and furnish rooms again, where the best peri
odieals and papers in the country may always
be found, with other means of moral and in
tellectual improvement And this course of
lectures is designed to raise money for this
purpose.
4.-And certainly no one will deny that this
Association itself is worthy of encouragement
and support. In these times, when there are
SO many influences tolead young men astray,
everything which will have tendency to save
them, deserves especial favor. And what can
be moro efficient in this respect than pleasant
rooms, where they can meet for social inter-
course and reading and mutual instruction?
They offer all the good influences of club.
rooms divested of all the evil.
Among all the institutions of modern times,
none have been found more useful in our cities
than these Christian Associations for Young
men. They open the way for those who 20 in
70. o.fhc eisy as strangers, to become acquainted
with the best class of its people. And to all
young men, whether citizens OF strangers, they
give the means of spending their leisure hours
and evenings proftably as well as pleasantly.
TINS taking the place of amusements of a
doubtful tendency in this respect. 1t is to he
hoped that such an Association here, having
made arrangements for valuable course Of
public lectures, in order to repair its losses by
the fire, will receive the encouragement it so
well deserves. w.D

Death of Henry d. Turner.

We regret to announce that this venerable
and worthy citizen, long a resident of Raj
eigh, departed this life on Tuesday last. MIR.
Turner was in the 10th year of his age. He
had suffered long, but he was patient and
resigned. He is sincerely mourned by many
relatives and friends.
The deceased was model of integrity He
was prompt and methodicai in his business
transactions, and strictly honest. In this re-
spect. as we'll as in respect of his personal vir-
tues. we commend his life and example to
the imitation of the rising generation. He
was followed to the grave by large num-
Der of our citizens, his funeral sermon having
been preached by the Rev. ]. M. Atkinson,
OF the Presbyterian Church. The stores and
other places of business were closed during
the progress of the funeral services, as mark
of respect to his memory.
