Y. NJ. G. A.-Important business
matters were transacted at the
monthly meeting Of the Young Mems
Christian Association last Monday
evening. The committee on rooms
were instructed to secure the hall
now occupied BY the association un-
til other arrangements should be
made. The committee on employ
ment and benevolence reported a
number of applicants for labor, and
said good situations had been secured
for a number of persons since the
last monthly meeting. But few ap-
plications had been made for food
and lodging during the last few
weeks, and all applicants had been
supplied. A resolution was passed
providing that where persons die in
the city and have no friends to assist
at their burial, the association will
furnish suitable persons to assist in
giving them q Christian burial. It
was in accordance with this resolu-
tion that Rev. I. Dillon was selected
to conduct the burial services of Mr..
Perry Dunfeld yesterday. The
street services are to be continued
during the winter months, and after
next Sabbath the afternoon meeting
will be held in Yesler's Hall if the
necessary arrangements can be et
fected. The association is in pros
porous condition, and is accomplish
ing much good.
