SECRETARY's REPORT.
WORK OF THE,YoUNG MEMS CHRIS
TAN ASSOCIATION FOR A YEAR.
Handsome Acknowledgment Of Courte-
sizes From the Press : Great Need OF
Specific Work for Young Men = Re-
sponsibility In the Premises.


The following report was read at the fifth
anniversary of the Young Mems Christian
association, Tuesday evening, May %, by
the general secretary, VIM. ID. Iaumaster,
and shows the progress made during tho
year just closed:
Mr.. President, Ladies' and Gentlemen:
II will be impossible for your general sec
rotary TO present ~ this audience full and
detailed report Of the work done this year.
We will, therefore, simply give an outline,
and reserve the full report for the daily
papers, where II can be read ut leisure.
We do not come before you az o perfect
organization. The history of the past five
years contains many mistakes, some OF
which have given us trouble and worry.
But these mistakes have been corrected In
nearly every instance, and this fifth ami
yersary finds us more actively engaged than
ever before, and confronted with increasing
numbers OF young men seeking the associa-
tons advice and assistance, In both their
temporal and spiritual interests.
We feel that the past year has been one OF
reasonable prosperity, and we trust the labor
and money expended have been fully COM
pensated by the moral and spiritual In
fluence that has been brought TO bear upon
the young men OF our city.
While we sec several departments Of our
work In good running order aud doing
effective service, there Is much, OF necessity,
through inadequate accommodations, that
we cannot undertake at present.
Our success Is due In great measure 10 the
efforts OF the members composing the differ
ent committees, and we cannot speak too
highly OF the work accomplished.
hn a..
ety. have been ready and willing ut all
times 10 help, and have admitted sunshine
into the hearts Of many young men by their
acts Of kindness.
OF the many courtesics shown 10 us none
call for more open acknowledgement than
those received from the press Of Memphis.
IL gives us pleasure 10 acknowledge that we
are much indebted 10 them for the promi-
hence given 10 our notices of meetings, re-
ligious and secular, relating 10 the associa-
ton, and Of other matters TO which we were
anxious 10 attract public attention. We feel
encouraged by this assistance, and are led
confidently 10 hope for n continuance OF
their kindly offices in the future. We need
the help OF every agency which is power
IN the community, but especially do We need
the help Of the papers OF the city 10 bring
prominently 20 the notice Of young men the
value and benefit OF the associations work
They have helped us In the past, and they
will have n grand opportunity TO share In
our work for young men In the future.
To the citizens generally who have 30 lib
orally given time and money TO the sup
port Of this movement we give our heart
felt thanks, aud 10 all those Who have con.
tributed IN any way toward the success Of
the association, whether by giving time or
money or tnlent'
We arc glad our association has also en-

II left San Fran cisco on May 5.h on
the steamer Zeslandia. and arrived al
Honolulu on the 18th, where visited
several officials, and on the l4th left fo1
the leper settlement, where I arrived
yesterday evening, May 18th.
Last night was given a concert by
the leper boys-now eighty. five in mum
Der. They sing quite we'll. Their
leaders are two blind lepers.
'sThis morning after Mass [ visited
the hospital, where one may see the
worst cases. No sight like that can be
seen anywhere but on tbs leper island.
Faces and bodies are horribly disig-
ured. On numbers the ears, nose. lips
and cheeks are very much swollen.
The loathsome disease does not work
the sans on all, but appears in various
forms. Young boys look like old men
Of seventy. Some seem to be all rotten.
The smell is quite offensive.
Father Dauien's hands are SOME.
what better, but his ears, face, neck and
arms are covered with boils and swell
ings. There is here at the settlement
a convert from Episcopalianisn. Broth
or Joseph button, who has devoted his
life to the care of the orphan bows and
others. He is like the good Samaritan
-unassuming-but he does the work OF
saint.
Nov about remaining uncontami-
mated, I must put my faith in God; for
/ do not see how ANY one living here
for number OF years could possibly
escape. Our cooks are all diseased.
The lepers put their hands everywhere
and in everything. Even the chickens
eat all the often flesh the lepers throw
to them.
s'This morning, when eating some
eggs, the idea came to me that the eggs
had queer smell. After breakfast ]
found that the chickens were eating all
kinds Of rotten matter. The bread is
baked also by lepers. I sit near Father
Damien, himself leper. All can say
is. God save mel happen what may.
1.-THE poor lepers seem quite happy.
If white people were afflicted as the
Kanakos are with leprosy, [ think
many would commit suicide.
$50 morrow the superintendent Of
the leper settlement who does not reside
here, will come to select a location to
build a house for the Sisters of st.
Francis, who care especially for the te.
male lepers.
81 beg the continuance OF your prayers
and those of my other friends, thaS ]
may persevere in my arduous mission.
I remain your most devoted servant,
