The election of Directors of the Y. nj. G.
A. Tuesday evening resulted i'm the re-elec-
ton of the old members OF the Board.
Much interest has been manifested this
month in the meetings at the Y. nj. Z. A.
hall on Sunday afternoons. The address
last Sunday afternoon by Chas. Holman, of
COrunna, was one of the most practical of the
series being delivered. Next Sunday Rev.
j. r. Andrews, the talented preacher of the
Baptist church, COrunna, will speak on the
subject, 1.-THE Greatest Aim in the World"
There will be special singing by male cho-
rus.
The members Of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association will give reception on
Thanksgiving night to their gentlemen and
lady friends. The boys are getting up the
entire reception themselves, and expect a
pleasant time. They cordially invite their
friends to attend. 1t has been the custom
in former years for friends to bring books
for the library to the Thanksgiving recep-
ton. The committee request this year, that
instead of purchasing the books, friends
will leave the amounts of money with them
at the rooms that night The committee
knowing the needs of the library, can eX-
pend the fund to better advantage. The
library needs great many of the standard
works of the day, and this will give the
public an opportunity of showing their in
terest i'm the matter
The Y. M. G. A. season tickets are still
good investment.
The second number of the Y. NJ G. A.
lecture course-the lecture by Jas. M.
Barkley-will be given i'm the Congrega-
tional church, Tuesday evening of next
week, 22nd inst. Holders of tickets will
take notice.
OF Mr.. Barkley's second appearance in
Flint, in the Y. M. G.. A. Star Course, the
Journal of that city says. among other
things: For nearly two hours the eloquent
speaker held the audience in closest atten-
ton. 1t was most pathetic recital Of
wrongs done individuals, families and
states to promote the glory of Southern
leaders. The humorous side was not omit
ted, and the audience was convused with
laughter by the speakers inlmitable mimi
cry. The eloquent passages were vocifer-
ously applauded. His splendid tribute to
Lincoln, and his praise of the Silent Soldier,
Grant, were received with greatest demon
STATIONS of approval. The conclusion of
the lecture, where Mr.. Barley describes the
battlefield, with its attendant sufferings and
excitements, the breaking up of the South
ern army, and the hOme-gOing, were pas
sages of oratory that should be heard to be
appreciated. The whole lecture is instruc-
tive, taking the audience to the other side of
the fray and introducing scenes of privatiOn
and suffering wholly unknown to those OF
the North living in war times"
Some time ago, the committee appointed
by the Directors of the Y. M. &. A. to ar
range for their fifth anniversary, extended
an invitation to Hon. &. Il. Grant, Judge of
the Supreme Court, to deliver the address
on that occasion. The following reply has
