Notice to the Friends Of thc Night
school.

This activity of the You've MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION is too we'll and favorabiy known
to require any mention of its merits and OF ltS
claims upon the beneyolence Of all philanthropic
rs well rs Christian citizens.
There was, perhaps, never time when TINS
School promised more good by way of lmprov-
ing the boys of the city by this means than at
the present.
Numbering about forty pupils, who every
night in the week are taught and trained IN
those things thst go to make them good and use
full citizens, instead of being left to roam round
the streets without guide, aim or object, nothing
could be more desirable than the continuation
of this School.
But it becomes necessary TO make known to
the citizens that all the funds for its support are
exhausted, and it must be discontinued at once,
unless the means are Immediately placed in the
hands Of the committee to keep it up.
We are sure that this notice is all that is need
ed to secure the desired help.
All funds for the above object Will be sent to
