YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA.
TfONS.
How Young Men re to he Reached.-Work
OF the General Secretary.

The General Secretary of Young Mems
Christian Association is Christian young
man who gives his entire time, under pay, to
the secular and religious work of the Associa-
ton. He is not an evangelist nor a preacher.
but at the same time is skilled in the use of
the Bible. He is young man of pleasing
address, of culture, of executive, ability. He
occupies the same relation to the association
that a superintendent does to manufacturing
establishment, or a principal to n high school.
At the close Of the there were but
three of these paid Secretaries in the United
States and British Provinces; now there are
over 100. and the number is constantly in
creasing. They are employed by Associations
in towns of all sizes from 1000 people up.
Young man in some local Association shows
qualifications that make him fit person, if
trained, for the Secretaryship. His name is
given to the State Secretary and to the Inter
national Secretary. Association literature is
furnished him to read. lie is induced to at
tend International, State and District Con-
ventions. The matter of leaving business
and entering upon the work of the Secretary
is mentioned to him. He considers it per
haps for weeks or months. II he feels called
to the work he is sent to visit the most sue
cessful Associations, and at each point spends
from two days to two weeks, receiving in
struction from the General Secretary in
charge. He then brings to the local Associa-
ton Of which he is to take charge. inf0rma-
ton gathered from broad survey of the
work He suggests plans of work, and un-
der the direction of the Association executes
this enterprise and that not doing it all him
self; taking for his motto. 81 would rather
set ten men at work than to do ten mems
work, even if | could" Under him the see
ular agencies can be brought into being and
successfully conducted. Under him the re-
ligious work of the Association can be MAKE
more effective. He will take care that the
Association does not clash with the church !:
that it shall become. on the other hand, an
aid to the church; that it keeps out of debt :;
that mistakes are avoided. and that legitimate
association work only is undertaken.

DEDIcArNG rnE1s vEsrnr.


Last evening the commodious new vestry
underneath the auditorium of the Methodist
church was dedicated to religious uses with
simple but appropriate services. large
audience was present, including several
OLD pastors of the society and ministers
OF other denominations. After some
sweet songs, rendered with true Netho-
DIST fervor, DR.. f. j. Roberts, chairman
OF the building committee, was called upon,
ana gave suceinct account of what had
oeen done in transforming the antiquated and
inconvenient yestry of few months ago into
ne present pleasant apartments. The dedi-
catory prayer was offered By Rev. d. B. Ran
dali OF Lewiston. Rev. DIR. Mckeown of the
Chestnut street church, Portland, was then
introduced, and delivered a most excellent
discourse, taking his text from Psalms XVI
IL: "ln thy presence il fulness Of joy; at
thy right hand there are pleasures forever
more DIR. McKeown is a large, robust.
man, OF sanguine temperament, who looks as
If he enjoyed his religion. He has a great
deal of personal magnetism, and his method
of presenting the truth rivits the attentions of
his hearers. His sermon was most original
and logical production, in which he enlarged
upon the fulness and duration of the joys Of
the heavenly life. 1t was generally COM
mended. After the benedicton the audience
fingered to inspect their new vestry, and to
congratulate Rev. Mr.. Sanderson over the
fruits of his efforts.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VEsTRI.
Two doors, one on either side of the main
entrance to the church, lead from the open
air into small vestibules. Descending few
steps, we open another door and enter the
new vestry. 1t is a room Al l-2x45, and ii
feet in height. The walls and ceiling are
covered with snowy plastering. and the pill
lars are also painted white. The effect is
very modest and pretty. In the southwest
corner of the vestry is a small room which
is to be used for the library. There is an
arrangement of boxes like a post-ofice, and
a wicket through which the books can be
passed by the librarian. Connecting with the
vestry are two class rooms-25xl4 and l4xl6
feet respectively. They open into each other by
folding doors. The two furnaces, which
were formerly exposed to view, are by this
new arrangement shut up in little rooms by
themselves between the main vestry and the
class rooms. One would fail TO recognize
in these well lighted, modern and cheerful
Al al "a.
disco'ored walls which formerly served the
society; and the wonder is, how they got
along fog so many years with the old vestry.
The Improvements which have been made
cost about $1,000, which sum has been all SUBJ
scribed. The carpenters began work, No
vember 2lst, and have but recently COM
pleted the job.

ceremony took place at two o'clock. in the
presence of the relatives of the happy pair
and a few invited guests, Rev. G.. W. Quinby
Of Augusta tying the knot in the most ap-
proved style of the art. Miss Emily was
elegantly attired, and looked as sweet as
brides ALWAYS do. After the ceremony and
congratulations were over. those assembled
repaired to the dining room and partook of
the wedding feast, and many a hearty wish
for the future happiness of the welded pair
was pledged by all present. The presents
were numerous and costly. Among them
we noticed an envelope containing $500 in
greenbacks, a solid silver butter knife, q
