The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-05-25
To the Citizens of Bloomsbury.

There is an organization in this
town that has for its end the elevation
Of young men. 1t seeks to throw about
the boys and young men Of the place
Christian influences, to give them
wholesome reading matter TO teach
them cleanliness, Goodness and self
respect. This organization is the
Young Mems Christian Association.
1t does work that is not done, and
can not be done by the churches OF
the place, and which supplements
rather than hinders their work.
Is the work done by this association
worth anything to the citizens of
Bloomsburg Is it of any practical
value to have the young men who
work in the factories, clerk IN our
stores, engage in the different indus
trial pursuits, loaf on our streets, and
marry our daughters, kept from the
saloons, and other disturbing inhuen-
ces, and led into the paths OF sobriety,
responsibility, honesty and piety ?
Looking at 1t from the cold, calcula-
ting, business point Of view, does it
pay to elevate and save young men ?
Does it not enhance the value OF
property, turn large sums of money
into the legitimate channels of trade
and make it safer place to rear
children, to have in our town an or
ganizatlon that looks after the morals,
manners, and religion of our young
menp
Now, we the undersi igned citizens
of Bloomsburg, who have given of our
own time and means to manage the
affairs Of this organization, believing
that the people of Bloomsburg want
this work done, make this public ap,
peal for financial means to do it. The
fathers and mothers of this town who
want to make it safe town in which
to bring up and educate and start sue
cessfully upon their life-work, their
sons and daughters, ought to meet
this appeal with welcome and sub,
staniial response. Everybody can sub
scribe something. Many can give Of
their abundance as the Lord has
blessed them, all can do something
Let US hear from you. Do not make
us hunt you up.
We remain most respectfully,
yours for the young men.

The meeting was called to take action
upon u proposition which had been sub
mitted to the Dellhaven district, which
had purchased one canal OF the Y. l. & l..

straits. The proposal made was that the
company should loan the district 5000
in cash upon certain conditions, thus en-
abling the district to complete its repairs
and put everything in splendid shape
Immediately. The district accented the
proposal, aud the matter was formally
closed ut the directors meeting above
spoken OF. The $1,000 is now on deposit
in Buffalo, N. Y. and will be placed to
the credit of the district Immediately.
Treasurer Ely will be back from Mag
ara Falls in September for two months
stay, and everything will then be put
into ship shape.
The Y. I. & |. Co. is on an unusually
sound basis. IL owes but 5000, and it
owns two townsites and one canal, with
an asset of $4,000 az money due from
the sale of the Dellhayen canal 1t il
said that there is a considerable inquiry
for the bonds of this organization.
