Y. m. C, A, Notes.

There is unusual activity throughout the
State in the Young Mems Christlnn Asso-
citation movement. A deeper interest seems
to be manifested than ever before.
The business men of Bangor have given
over $4,000 towards building and plans
are now being prepared.
The State secretary Mr.. A. Lawrence has
recently visited Belfast and Sanford and
succeeded in organizing an association in
each place. Officers have been appointe d
and rooms will be secured at once.
Mr.. Lawrence spent last Sunday in Dexter
where union service was held in the even
ing, when the Y. M. G. A. work was pre-
sented. 1t is expected that an organization
will be effected very soon.
The rooms of the Augusta association have
been refurnished and improved in many
ways. There was never better feeling in
the community with reference to the work
than at present. As an evidence of this we
state that citizen of Augusta has re-
Gently given $1,000 toward the erection of a
building. The secretary of the association,
though one nf the youngest in the State is
meeting with unusual success.
The rooms of the Portland ass ociation
having been remodled the work is being
greatly enlarged and the influence of it win
probably be felt here this winter as never
befoIe.
The Bath association recently dedicated
new and beautiful rooms and the work has
developed more rapidly than was anticidat
ed. The influence of the work is being felt
in marked degree in the city.

We find ourselves with sixty-one years of

year was like many that have preceded it,
for the poor we have always with us, and in
this association the work is necessarily OF
about the same character each year. We
have held eighteen regular meetings and
two special meetngo. We have five new
members, and two have withdrawn; death
has not touched our immediate ranks this
year, but In the death of Mr.. Reuben Town
shend the association met with heavy loss
For number of years before his death his
interest was. unfiagging, aud his jealous
work In our behalf was great help to all
workers for this cause, Surely whatever
his hands found to do, he did with his whole
heart, and his CHEEKY word and boupdless
courage helped us over many hard place.
lh0ugh we miss from among us his pleasant
presence, his memory will always be treas
ured by the society for his kindly help in all
times OF need. The association made de-
parture from its usual methods for raising
money, and came before the public the first
Tune lot the winter with an entertainment,

IN November a supper in January; the
fourth OF March ball and our fair just closed
completed the list of entertainments for our
sixty-frst year. To all our friends who
nave given us their aid we extend our hear
ty thanks, and especially to the press of our
city, who have been unvarying in their
kindness toward US, and who have granted
pleasantly all favors, and they have been
many. we would say thank you," and wish
them continued prosperity.
