The organization Of the Young
Mems Association Il few wears noe
WAS an important move forward. ii

est IN tho young men of tho lund
and cngcndcrcd in them feeling OF
responsibility and proprictorship in
part Mt least of tho gospel work.
The results of the happy conccp,
ton were apparent ut once Branch

IN nll the leading cities in the coml.
Try, and young men who had hithcr-
to been without the reach of rcli.
gious agencies were brought within
the grasp of holy and everlasting
influences. The church should
always be kept prominent us the
great means Of salvation, but the
idea that tho church needs auxiliary
ilil'l"lircs caiinot be too strongly
impressed. At present there is no
organization outside Of the church
from which moro good cnn ho cx
pcctcd than this ASSOCIATION all over
the country, who pledge themselves
to work for the elevation and sane
tltication Of their fellows. An ap,
peal from one young man to nnoth-
cr has II power which tlo"S not lie in
the cxhortation of II superior. One
invites his suhicc M brother, tho
Other advises rs one higher in digni-
t. and importance one has warm,
; sympathetic and fcllow-fccliny,, with
linn whom he seeks to influence, the
; other is deprived Of these aids. and
his words arc too often but cool
prcccpts.
The value of the labor of Young
mon among their fellow beings hc
ing admitted, the Young MEMS
Christian Association is logical
deduction. No other means ever
awakened them SO lively to the work
1T was their special province to pcr-
form. There were never 50 many
young men ut work in the vincvurd
of timer Master. They feel that it is
their work, they have the RESPONSE
blhty resting on their shoulders,
they often labor with zeal which
puts to the blush the efforts of lag
glnS Christians. Such is The Young
Mems Christian As.a>cip:;m. Ol,

association must meet with the ND.

The State Convention held in this
city indicated the extent to which
it's influence has extended 1t is in
the hands Of Young, active, brave
men. It's success is written on the
scroll of the future in such bright
letters that we can always see them
shining through. 49,. >.lHMtu Couxti

The following specimen OF Eng
lish pure and undciilcd is from the
Liverpool Times: "a doctor was
lately summoned to Il tottngc at
Hawood, in Teas'lalc, md found IL
boy i'll need Of his services. Put
out your tongue, said the doctor.
The boy stared like an owl. My
good boy, requested the medical
man, let me see You tongue. Talk
English, DOCTOR, snid the mother /;
and then, turning to- her son, she
said: 'Hoppcn thy gobblcr, and put
out thy lollikcr. The boy rolled
out his tongue in moment"

Her head then dropped upon tho
