There will be general regret at the
announcement that c.. H. Sage, gener-
al secretary of the st. JOhnsbury Y. M.

ing to retire July L. Mr.. Sage leaves
st. JOhnsbury to accept a similar pO-
NJ. C. A. of New York city, which has
nearly completed a handsome five
story building, to be called the Young
Mems Institute, where aside from the
regular Y. NJ. G.. A. religious work,
special attention will be given to prac-
teal educational work and to physical
sports. Mr.. Sage has been here for
over four years, and has shown him
self to be specially adapted for the pc
culiar duties of his position. The as
ISOLATION has done effective and syste-
matte work, and Mr.. Sage has been
personally popular not only with the
young men but in the community at
large.
Mr.. Sage's resign alton was accepted
by the Y. M. G. A. directors last even
ing, to take effect July l, and the mi
tial steps taken to secure a new gen
eral secretary, through the medium
of the Y. NJ. C.. A. International COM
