the Young Mems Christian Association.
 One of the papers last week in the ''real estate transfers" indicated a conveyance of property on Chapel street to the Young Mems Christian association. This was mis- take, the property mentioned being for the Young Womens Christian association. Since the conference of general secretaries in this city in June, however, and the excellent pre- sentation of association work in the North church Sunday evening, June 11th, unusual interest has been shown by the citizens in the future of the Young Mems Christian associa- tion, and it is possible that at no distant date there will be convenient and attractive building, we'll located, devoted entirely to the work for young men. The reports of con- | mittees at the regular monthly business meet ] ing Monday evening last indicated prosperity | in all departments of the work, especially in the religious meetings, many young men hav- I ing become interested for their personal sal | vation. Every Thursday evening training l class for young men is conducted by the gen ! eral secretary with attendance of Is to 1S 1 The association will make their annual 1 cursion to Osprey Beach August 8.
 A large number of young men are reached l daily by the different agencies of the associa- tion, and the opinion of those who know of the work is that building is an imperative l need.
