Monday evening Sep. 10Th was the
third anniversary of the founding of the
Young Mems Christian Association in Ke.
nosha and its annual meeting was attended
by nearly hundred people The program
for the evening included the reading of re.
ports by committees and officers. the
election of officers for the ensuing year, two
selections by Prof A. Lincoln Kirk, a
talented Elocutionist, selection ON the
either by Mr. Strube which was enthusiast
tically encored, a song by the Arion Quar-.
tette and last but not least the elegant re-
1reshments served in the parlors by the ev-
er faithful Ladies Auxiliary. The occasion
was one very interesting to all who believe
In the work of the Association. The re.
ports OF the committees showed very graft
tying results all round. The membership
OF the Association is larger this year than
ever before and the statistics furnished
proved that the Association is extending
more widely and strengthening more firmly
Its hold npon the youths and young men.
The devotional committee reported eleven
converts to christian life among the young
men during the year and showed higher
average attendance ON the meetings of the
Association than ever before. A positively
religious atmosphere pervades the work of
the Association and the increasing number
OF young men who avail themselves of the
gymnasium, reading room and library and
other attractions the Association has to of
Ter, must be benefited thereby. Youths
and boys of all classes have been drawn in
to the gymnasium and have used it and
many more would be reached if the facili.
ties were what they should be- The Finance
committee reported the Association free
from debt at the end Of the year with a
small surplus on hand. The Association
has expended this year $1,563 in its work,
or nearly $500 more than last year. The
citizens of Kenosha have endorsed the work
of the Association by sustaining it so liber.
ally and it is hoped that they will stand by
it in the development and extension of its
work. The chief extra expense contem-
plated for the ensuing year will be in the
enlargement of its gymnasium. A larger
room with high ceilings is needed and such
equipment as will attract every one who
wants place where he can 60 and enjoy
little rational exercise where the air is
pure and the surroundings conducive to
moral and physical healthfulness The
election of officers for the ensuing year re-
suited as follows: President, L. A. Cass;
Vice President, F. Fl. Lyman; Secretary,
A. Lindquist, Jr.; Treasurer, C. III. Hurd.
Directors-J. II. Charles, F. Becker, ST.,
c. G. Theleen, F. W. Engel, E. l.. Gran
and L. M. Theirs.
After the business of the evening was
finished, Mr.. Strube was called on and
gave the audience selection on the either,
an instrument he plays beautifully. He
was encored very heartily and responded.
Prof. A Lincoln Kirk was then CALLED for
and recitcd couple of humorous selections
which the audience appreciated thoroughly.
The Arion Quartette was called on and
rendered "Last Night" in their usual good
taste. That closed the program and the
audience adjourned to the parlors where
refreshments were served.
