The Approaching International COnven-
tlon Of Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion
Pursuant to a call of the International
committee delegates from the various Young
Mems Christian Associations of this country
and the Canadas are to meet in council at
Baltimore, Md, May 2lst TO Goth.
At tho last International Convention
which met in Louisville, Ky, in 1877, it was
resolved thereafter to hold the conventions
but once every two years instead of annually
as formerly, and the fact that the growth in
numbers and influence of those societies in
the last two years has been greater than that
of the same length of time previously, added
to the announcement made that great care
has been taken in the selection of topics
and tho obtaining of the best talent in the
country to discuss them, gives evidence that
the gathering will be one of unusual in
terest. There are now over one thousand
Y. NJ G. AS in this country and
Canada, and from these will be
sent probably from five to six
hundred delegates, making when convened
up as strong and influential a body of
lay church workers as could be gotten to-
gether. Arguing from the fact that Mr..
Wood is just about closing work of remark
| able power in the city where the gathering is
to take place and that united prayer has
been going up for weeks in the individual
societies for an especial blessing upon this
convention, the friends of the cause look
forward to rich spiritual arising in con-
nection with this gathering.
The following topics, relating to the work
of the association, are suggested for dis
cussiOn at the convention:
l. The present condition of State and Pro-
| vincial organizations.
9. The Importance of The study of the
various studies of the bible, and an illustration
of how to engage in such study.
g. Important phases of the work Of a
general secretary.
| 4. The Office and work of the secretary in
associations not employing general secretary.
5. The work intrusted to the executive
committee:
l. At the West.
2. At the South.
8. Among German young men,
4. Among railroad men.
5. Among college students.
| 6. Among commercial travellers.
The first of those relating to the work Of
the executive committee at the West is to be
opened by Mr.. D. Il. Noyes, of this city.
Convening six days before the grand
general convention the general secretaries
have conference of their own and
the subjects of particular interest to that
class of workers will be discussed and meth
, DDS of work be determined upon.

r land, general secretary of the central inter

, mems Christian association work on the con
. tinent of Europe.
