The conference of Young Women's
Chlstian Association, Just held in this CITY.
will long be remembered by those Interest,"
ed in the welfare of young people, as an es-
pecially interesting and profitable one.
The public meetings were especially adapt
ed to arouse public interest, not only in the
Christian work among women, but that
among men. Who that listened to the
stirring, eloquent words of Miss Price
Sabbath evening, but felt all his noblest and
best emotions and resolutions fully aroused.
The impulse was strong to go out and do
definite, personal work for othsrs-to save
the young of this city from going to ruin.
There is no special work organized yet in
Albany for women and, perhaps, there is no
immediate need of it in city of no larger
size than ours. But there is already start
ed and maintained in Albany definite
work for men and boys, that the directors
would be only too happy to extend to much
larger dimensions. What Miss Price said
about the fourfold aspect of the work among
young women, is perfectly applicable to
young men. The Y nj A wants to help
the young men of Albany physically. social
ly, intellectually and spiritually, much
more than it is yet doing. Il is hampered
by tie financial side of the question. In
order to raise money, it has to resort to en-
tertainments of different kinds from time
to time, besides occasionally seeking sub
ac-ipti0ns from friends. The time has
come when ii is very much in need of mon
ey. to pay interest on outstanding debts.
1t is proposed to work up an entertainment.
'Allegory of the War in Ssng." to raise
this money We want to meet Wednesday
night in the Y NJ e gymnasium, entrance
on Second street, with full attendance. The
committee has a rousing report ready. If
the majority favor something else than the
Allegory, the committee will gladly accept
the change. Let all the singers of Albany
rally about this good cause just now. Every
one acknowledges the evident need of the
YMC A in our city, that it meets a felt
need, that it is doing good work. Will
the good people of Albany combine in carry
ing on this noble work? Yes; even enlarg-
ing it, freeing it of debt and giving it tinan-
ces enough to hire f1lly trained secretary,
to devote his entire time to it, and thus
make it most efficient. Who will be the
first 20 respond? W II LEE.
