THE CHRISTIAN UNION Library.
10 Tic Editrr Of 1ht Chicago Tribune:
S1a: pornis rae. through THO columns OF TIE
TRIBUNE to cali tho attention OF tho members
aud friends OF tho Christian Union to tho Brb-
ject OF its library.
This is an important feature Ct the work Of tho
Union, nll its members being privileged to draw
books aud retain them two weeks. The number
OF volumes in the library, in suitable order for
use, is now about 1,600, whilo over 400 members
are drawing books regularly, and the number is
so rapidly Increasing that the supply is made
qunte to satisfactorily meet tbs demand.
Hard times have made it impossible for the
Union to add to tho library by purchase and
meet it's current expenses. Some valuable do
nations have been received, and il is believed
that there are many persons in the community
who have books seldom or mover used by them.
Library il their attention wore called to The sub
ject. II placed on our shelves they would
ut once tind their way to the board
ing-houses OF workingmen and women,
and into tho homes Of families not Ablo to pur-
chase books. Such disposition OF them, to be
who need them most, would certainly bo moro
satisfactory than to have them remaining unused
on tho shelves Of tho o3ne.B.
Ono feature Of the management OF the Chris
tian Uuion Library that commends itself is this:
That the members aro permitted to 60 directly
to the shelves, examine the books, and selocs
for thcmselves, without the Intervention OF any
formalities or red tapo in the method ct obtoln-
ing books, which would be necessary in the con-
duct Of large public library. This brings the
people directly IN contact with tho books. mud
encourages many to use them who, otherwise,
would not do so. There are many pezBons Of
wealth iu tho community. who aro especially in
terested in tho general diffusion Of intelligence
and education among the people who choose
pubic libraries a. tho objects for their charitable
contributions in preference to other forms Of
benevolent effort, feeling That money 30 ex-
pended gives permanent and lasting returns to
the community. To such tho Christian Union
Library offers channel for bringing their bene-
factions directly to the people, Of which it is
hoped many rill avail themselves: Tho Union
will thankfully receive donations Of books Of any
Kind suitable for its library or complete volumes
OF magazines suitable for binding. Packages
may be sent to the rooms, No. III Madison
street, or they will DO called for in auy part Of
tho city if notice Is sont to tho Office.

To Tie Editor IF The Chicago Tribune:
S1R trust you will allow NE brief space

most agreeable thing to be called from the third

throwit into the street. 4 friend tells me she had
for long time given food and clothing to n very
small boy who had been q constant visitor at her
house for months, aud, becoming quite interest
