thousand are roaming our streets as
Migrants and tramps; 81, 1856 are in pen
itentiaries, jails, military prisons and
hospitals for insane convicts. 10000

Owosso ought, as matter of moral
protection and religious investment,
erect for you building worth 800
from which the income would make
your rent free. The real worth of your
society to the city cannot be estimated
in the coin that perishes. You give
tone to public sentiment, you make it
tolerable to enjoy life here. You are
doing what the churches cannot dosin
any other way. You are reclaiming
young men the church cannot reach
save through your fundamentally.
Rev. J.W. Clokey, d. d.. says, ''The
day is not far distant when Christian
men and philanthropists will be just as
Jealous in having an elegant Young
Mems Christian Association building in
every town and city as in having the
church and school house."
The young men are to carve. the
future. They are to mould it, to grasp
it, to control and, guide it. We must
then be aggressive. The education of |
young men in the midst of present day
wickedness vice and the sweeping tyr
rany of the saloon power, will result in
fitting them for the mighty struggles
which await them in maintaining and |
defending the sacred principles and
God-given rights bequeathed to us by |
our forefathers, viz, free speech, free
press, civil and religious liberty, the
preservation of the Sabbath, the free
public school system, and the Bible in
all its purity, sacredness and grandeur

Circumstances under which young
men are trained, educated and brought
up, prepare them for the struggles and
battles of life. What gave the war for
American independence such browning
successg 1t was the invincible deter

in the breasts of the revolutionary
heroes when they were young men and
school boys, while the country was

A saw log at Estey's factory worth
five dollars in the rough, when worked

Labor gives it value. A young, reck-
less and dissipated fellow is of no par
ticular value to himself or the COM
munity, but let the Young Mems
Christian Association get hold of him,
get him out of the street and saloon
long enough to cool off, give him few
athletic whirls in the gymnasium, brace
him up, and, as Pope says,
"Take him and develop him if you can,
Hew the block off, and bring out the man."
Personal labor adds value to him.
