 Great activity is lately manifest through out the Stnte and country by the Young Mems Christian associations, and their many friends. Several of the cities of Connecticut have built new buildings for these associa- tions in their midst, and number more are now in process of construction in different parts ot the country.
 New Haven is one of the large cities that has no special building for her branch of the association, and offers us do immediate pros pect of erecting one unless more donations are made.
 At the recent State convention of the asso- citation in Bridgeport, great impetus was given the work in that city by the generous interest and donations of MT. I. DeVer War; ! ner, who pledged large sum for building in Bridgeport.
 Many advantages are to be acquired by the association having it's own building in ! each city. The edifces constructed for the purpose are usually fine structures, and are an ornament to any spot where they may be placed. It also serves to increase the power ! and influence of the association among young men, and proves valuable piece of property.
 Present indications point to 8 great in crease of accommodations for the members everywhere, their buildings furnishing ex- cellent and ample opportunitirs for lectures, athletic exercises, reading rooms, appropriate games, concerts, receptions, and general moral influence.
 In New Haven, although a little back ward, the interest shows signs of awakening, and the few generous bequests and donation promise to give the association building of its own. A prominent citizen has made 8 pledge of $5, 900, to be one of ten like dona- tions towards an edifce, and by the will of the late Mr. Gabriel $5,000 more is given, conditioned on the life of his widow. The association here has also $1 ,000 as 8 surplus in it's treasury.
