The Young Mems Christian Association Of
this ci has just entered upon = new year of
it's existence, the annual meeting having been
held only . week or two ago. It's undoubted
influence for good in the past is matter Of
history, the fruits Of which are visible in the
reformed lives Of many who we familiarly met
each day upon the public streets, and who
would, most probably, have travelled tho down
ward road to ruin and degradation at . break
neck speed. had it not been for the Chris
tian hands stretched forth by tho association
for their rescue Fl ,m destruction, and to
steady their first weak footsteps on the upward
path. Not content, however, with its past laurels
fairly won and deservedly won, the association
has started out upon its new current year with
. course mapped out for wider range OF Chris
tisn usefulness than ever, and which it is in
tended to pursue with all that persevering
vigor of which its past history affords IN ample
guarantee.

braces the following aims: l. The sustaining

| With the view of making the social parlor'
as attractive and home-like as possible. the as
ISOLATION has determined to beautify it as un-
Internationally as possible, and thereby consti-
tute it pleasant place of resort, in the hope
tr its quiet. and innocent pleasures may
ments which are scattered broadcast through
| out the city. The association, therefore, while
| expressing it's heartfelt thanks for many hand
some presents already made in this direction,
would respectfully solicit donations of such ar
ticles as the following: Flowers vases, stere-
|
ornaments therefor, plants, canaries and cages,
AID sets of checkers, and checker men and ia

The religious work of the society has, at
present, two stated instrumentalities. a bible
class, which meets every Sunday afternoon at
clock, and prayer meeting on each Mon,
| day at P. NJ. At the bible class the Sunday
school lessons of the international course on
the objects of study and comment, the lessons
being taken one week in advance, SO that Sab
bath school teachers will find it of especia
benefit to attend. The exercises are purely
voluntary. The attendance at the Monday
evening prayer meetings is quite encouraging
the proceedings are spirited, and have been
productive of good results. To both sof these
