The Young Mems Christian associa-

ton of its building. The raising of the
fund has been placed in the hands Of
Rev. +. s. Williams, who will make
vigorous campaign this winter. 1t is
desired to resume work on the building
in the spring.
The plans Of the association for the
coming seasons work are just being

PrOf. X. l.. Weston, the well known in
Structor of the st. Paul Y. NJ. C. A. ath-
letic department, Will give the patrons
OF the gymnasium the benefit of his
knowledge of athletics. Secretary Eli
Oft says the year has been very sue
eesSful one. and he hopes that the new

relative TO the instruction offered by
the Y. M. C. A. Mr., Ellicott said:
Along the intellectual lines of our
work we have planned for five evening
classes: elocution. under the supervision
OF Prof. CipricO: shorthand, taught by
Prof. Bowers, of Bowers shorthand
school; and vocal music, primary and
advanced class. under the direction of
Prof. l.. c. JOhOnnot. We have also ar
ranged along this line for lectures by
some of the professional business men
OF the city, such as Hon. W. S. Pattee,
dean of the law department of the state
university; Hon. r. D. Russell, city at
torney; David c. Bell. ESQ.,, Judge Ell
florence, DR.. D. j. Burrell, DR.. c. F.
ThWing, DR.. Mabie. Bishop Fitzgerald
and others. The following are sample
of the topics: ''Can We Beat the
Dutch"' What Is the Love that God
Commands" etc.
Spiritually, the plans of the associa-
ton are more extensive and complete
than in any former season. We have a
junior department with fifty-one paid
up members. Their plans are COM
pleted for fall and winter work. with a
number of thoroughly wide-awake and
efficient boys taking lead in the
work.
The total membership of the 7. NJ. C.
A. IN the city is now 1.194. The num-
Der taking gymnasium training was
l3l. over 100 young men were assisted
to employment. The reading room has
been made an attractive place and Is
well patrOnized. There are regularly
on file III papers and magazines, The
daily average number of visits to the
rooms has been POI. The total at.
tendance at the railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms was Y, 564 for last year.
He spoke of the agony Of this time
with the Savior, when every one was
against Him, and He stood entirely
alone with no one to appreciate His
ctft h. haG 10
time He had said: Il must go up into
Jerusalem" Must go to His death.
Here, the speaker said, required the
temptation of His early life, to yield
to the people and His disciples.
and become political leader. For the
disciples were unable to understand
Him. Peter had said: This shall
never be unto Thee, Lord" No Won
der that He had uttered the words,
''Get thee behind Me, Satan" So he
had gone to his doom alone.
Yet by no means aid He go in spirit
of fanaticism. In proof of this the
speaker showed how He had avoided
conflict with the rulers, and had not
gone until the time came. and then Ut
terly at the disposal of His Father.
constrained by the power of the
truth, behold He goes up to Jerusalem.
So the divine man illuminated the path
for human beings. In His examples
there were suggestions for all human
beings, because we must all GO up to
some Jerusalem. The paths are varied,
but to all of US at some time will there
come some supreme call of truth"
So all should have ideal purposes in
all things. In loyalty to the truth in
the little things of life, the speaker
held, was to many the great trial of
life. Finding the truth, like Jesus. all
must be loyal to it.
The address concluded with an eX-
empIifcatiOn Of the fact that Christians
should take no second place. If God
calls to go to Jerusalem, there is no
stopping by the way-there is no sec
ond best-there is naught to do but to
20 the full way.
