One of the objects of the Y. NJ. C. A. is to
procure a good library. where young men
MAY while away an hour, or go for more solid
reading and instruction. The members have
begun to raise money for the purpose. They
should receive the encouragement of every
good citizen. Books will be very thankfully
received. Judge VIM. T. Wood has made a
good beginning in this direction by the pre-
S entation to the society of a very valuable
work In SIX large volumes, being ''The Com
prehensive Commentary on the Holy Bible"
by Rev. William jerks, D. D. The work IS
all that its name implies, and will prove a
great aid to those who wish to s'search the
scrlptures.'
The following committees were appointed
at last Sundays meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association :-Committee on devo-
tional exercises-Rev. D. c. Browne, Henry
Kramer and L. l.. Henson. This committee
has charge of the religious meetings, appoints
leaders and selects subjects for discussions at
such meetings. Committee on membership
Rev. Geo. L. Leyburn, R. R. Vaughan, and
Walter McCausland. This committee is to
seek out all suitable young men and urge
them to become members of The association
and present their names for action by the
association. Visiting committee-Jas. 4.
Moorehead, Ernest Chapman. and Jesse
Crenshaw. This committee seeks out and
visits sick and needy young men. visits hotels
and invites men stopping over Sunday to at
tend the meetings distributes literature. etc.
The objection has been urged that the
Young Mems Christian Association might do
mira onoH If ire Stonlorl for ,nopaho,,b;o
were not so high, and if it did not require
Christian membership and moral standing as
prerequisites. This view Is based on the
idea that dissolute or immoral young men
are not welcomed by the association. This
is an error. On the contrary, they are the
very ones that the association desires to
reach. How Certainly not by turning to
them the cold shoulder. o, no; bat by ex-
tending to them the warm right hand of fell
lowship; by welcoming them to the meet
ings; by pointing out to them that there can
be cOngenial, pleasant companionship out
side of the haunts of sin; and that there ia
more pleasure in good ways than in bad.
But it Is a "Christian" association; hence be-
fore full fellowship can be obtained the high
est degree In the order must be attained
that Is all. But there are no hobbies in the
way; no fine-spun theological theories; a
member of any Christian church is eligible
to membership. All are welcome to the
meetings, whether members or not.
The Young Mems Christian Association
met In the basement room of the Christian
church, last Sunday afternoon, at 3 O'Clock.
The attendance was yery good, nearly, II
not quite n hundred persons being present.
MIR. James MoOrehead, presided. The special
subject for the meeting was to hear reports
from the delegates to the convention at Sc.
dalis. After a few hymns and short prayers
Prof. Henson addressed the meeting on the
subject of how to raise money for the work,
his remarks being based on a paper on that
subject, which was read at SedalIa. DIR. R.
r. Vaughan was the next speaker. He SEEM
ed toihave been greatly impressed with the
work of the convention itself which he de-
scribed at some length. Capt. S. j. Andrew,
the next speaker, made the principal speech
of the occasion, reviewing much that was
done at Sedalia, and empssizing many points
regarding the practical way to make the as.
ISOLATION useful In the reclamation of young
men. Mr.. Henry Kramer closed the speak
ing with u few well chosen remarks. in a some.
what humorous, but still earnest vein. The
meeting was adecldedly successful and pleas
ant one. and indicative of an active and useful
career for the association.
