Growth of the Association.

The Y. NJ. G. A. was instituted by
Mr.. George Williams, of England,
about 40 years ago.
He was a boy but 81 years of age
and clerk with Hitchcock & Co., en-
gagged in the dry goods business in
London. He was christian full Of
the love Of God and burning with zeal
for the advancement of the cause Of
Christ.
He was associated with about eigh-
ty young men, fellow-clerks, most Of
whom were irreligious and wholly in
different to the claims OF Christ He
commenced the meetings in one Of
the bed rooms in the business houses.
lie is now the leading member of the
firm OF Hitchcock, Williams & Co.,
and the Y. M. G. A. are found in sue
cessful operation in the following
countries, viz: Africa, IL; Argen-
tine Republic, / Australia, 90; Aus

Ladies in the Y. NC A.

While the Y. NJ. c. A. is n work Of
the young men for the young men, it
is great mistake to suppose that it
can be or ever has been run without
the aid of christian women. In the
larger towns and cities they are adj
mitted to membership and their
branches OF the work prosecuted by
them. They can do much to create
public sentiment in favor OF the Asso-
citation, and are always a great power
in influencing their sons, brothers and
friends to become members and par
ticipate in the work OF the Associa-
ton. Their visits to the Association
room cheer and encourage the young
men. The interest which they mani
fest in furnishing the rooms with mot
toes, pictures, books, &C., and their
valuable services on the commit
tees on social and religious
gatherings and entertainments
have made them great power in the
work for the salvation OF the young
men.

ooh, that | knew where | might
find himp The exclamation OF a
man in deep grief, for whose wounds
earth had no balm, "whose stroke was
heavier than his moaning" Into the
vale Of darkness, under the shadows Of
the same deep sorrow where the rich
es OF earth offer no healing balm and
tender caressing no soothing, must
pass the soul dead in sin, to the way Of
life and the beauties of blessed Re-
deemer.
In deep darkness, lost to earth, and
earthly ties, lost to self and selfish mo-
tives, lost to man and all that man
can do, with all the powers OF the
mind and heart bent on the single
question, "where shall | find him" the
lost soul for the first time fixes its
gaze on the rainbow OF hope in the
sky Just above, hung forever there in
the promise "Ye shall seek me and
find me when ye shall search for me
with all your heart" and steps forth
into the light OF IL new day, whose sun
is Jesus.

The committee in the next few days

Quite a number Of young men were
in attendance on the devotional exer-

Dr. Edward B. Footc rs reprcsen-
tative of Eclectic Medicine, as writ
err of popular medical literature, and
as physician stands prominent, and
is, perhaps, throughout the world,
better known by his writings than any
other medical writer who has directed
his teachings to the people rather
than the profession. Born and rails
ed among Connecticut settlers, on
the western Reserve" in Ohio, he
early began the work Of many self
made men. Starting at the age OF
sixteen as printers devil" in n news
paper office, he worked his way to the
editorial chair, and was severally con
nected with the most prosperous
weekly (of its time in Connecticut,
and the first successful morning paper
OF. Brooklyn, N. Y, but his main i'm
pulse had always been toward the
study Of medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until in apprenticeship with noted
botanical specialist and course of
study finishing with graduation, found
him prepared to follow out the bent
of his life to its completion He was
among the earliest OF those who adj
vocated the publication of anatom-
ical, physiological and hygienic books
for the masses, and his success in
writing interesting and popular books
has been conspicuous. His first and
best known book, entitled "Mcdical
Common Sense" reached Il circulation
of 100000 copies, probably because Of
its originality and novelty in new
field; and his subsequent writings
have been mainly in the same line,
Science in Story" having been writ
ten for the purpose OF providing a
readable book for children. and one
which should make plain to their
comprehension the facts which he
considered it necessary for them to
know concerning their own bodies.
In speaking OF the late Prof. J. S.
Smith of Oxford, London, Nature
remarks at has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have always been con
ceived before the age OF thirty" This
is probably true, also original Of this
portrait. His most radical thoughts
were published in his first work,
written before he was twenty-nine
years OF age, and though his pen is
never long idle, his first success has
not yet been equalled subsequent work
though his "Plain Home Talk" II re-
vision and enlargement of Medical
Common Sense" seems likely in time
to ATTAIN circulation rivalling that
Of its predecessor.

been Independent, progressive and

1t is high time the board of railroad
commissioners made Il move in the
direction of securing a reduction in
railroad rates-n0t that. we suppose
they have the power to accomplish
anything, but by way of a response to
the general and urgent demand for
lower transportation rates. We pre-.
sumo the railroad companies will
lower the rates anyway. We are
coming OH near the time when another
legislature will DO elected. Some sort
of concession should be made to the
people. lest the growing discomfort
eliminate in the election of legis.
lature hostile to the railroads. We
look, therefore. for a reduction. Presi.
