A Movement 10 Organize a Young Meas
Christian Association.

A number of persons interested in the
young men Of our city invited Mr.. Themss
K Cree, Of New York, secretary Of the In
ternational Committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association, to visit Memphis, aud
confer with them in regard to the advisable
~ of organizing . Young Mems Christian
Association here. Mr.. Cree arrived yester-
day and is stopping at the Peabody. There
is a growing interest here on the subject OF
Young Mems Christian Association reading
room and secretary who shall give all his
time TO such for young men; visiting them
when sick, aiding them to get employment,
recommending good boaI ding houses, and
organizing social, moral, literary and re-
ligious work for young men. There are
now SSI OF these organizations 10 this coun-
try, employing 300 paid secretaries, ewning
over 100000 of property. There are
some sixty railroad secret aries employed in
the interest of railroad meD, aud the rail.
way companies pay So, 200 per annum to
sustain this work among their employees. 1t
il q remarkable fact that every city
except our own, OF its sizs and Importance,
has a Young Mems Christi an Association.
Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville have
each a paid general secretary, tne read
ng-room and psrlor, courses OF lectures, re-
ceptions and musical entertainments, and an
active religious work for their youag men.
There is a fee & Id here for just such work
as the Young Mems Christian Association
proposes TO do, and such an organic alton
would receive the hearty support Of our
business men. Mr.. Cree visited our city
some years ago, when Messrs. Hall and Cree
were making tour of visitation of the
| S,uthern cities, and held pleasant series OF
meetings here. He does not propose to or
| ganize an association, but simply TO confer
| with those interested IN the subject.
