ADDED TO THE FUND.
Another Successful Meeting Held ut the
Chamber of Commerce. Building
for the Y. VI. g. A.

Association. Ihe attendance was not az
large as on last Thursday afternoon. but
warm interest was manifested in the
Institution. and the sum OF $3.50 was
added 10 the previous subscriptions.
Among the ministers present were Rev.
William +. Hatcher. Rev. Charles H.
Reid Rev. John -. Newton. Rev. ). i.
Cannon, and Rev. ". j. Young
Mayor Eilyson was again I'm the CHAIR
and stated. .n opening the meeting. that
an the gentlemen were apparently Ia
mliiar with the object OF the gathering
the endeavo~ Of raising the debt on the
association building, amounting TO $lS,-
90 The result OF the meeting on Thurs
day had surpassed by far the most san
euinc expectations OF the officers Of the
organization. While the sum Of nearly
$1,000 was raised on that occasion. the
subscriptions were only made on condi-
ton that the total amount needed would
be raised. There was no question as 10
the final result of the movement started.
and no doubt as TO the ability OF raising
the debt: Il was simply a question OF how
long II would take 10 do II.
Rev. John Is. Newton. who was called
upon by the Chair to make few re-
marks, stated that he heartily endorsed
the movement. and that he hoped the
needed amount would be raised without
any difficulty. lie thought there was no
doubt I'm the mind OF any fair-minded ciu-
zen as 20 the advisability OF having
Young Mems Christian Association In TINS
city. Such an institution was or great
value TO young men who came 10 the
civ as strangers and by the association
1verc kent away from dens of iniquty.
IL was also of great value TO the business
community. for the young men must
have character. were they 10 prosper
and II they had only bad places 10 go 10
business would naturally have to suffer
- THE CITY TOO pooRy
The business reports OF the association
would tell every business man that IL
was of great benefit 10 the city The
question was whether the capital city OF
Virginia should be the only one In the
State 20 indicate, by the closing OF the
doors OF the building. that within her
borders there was no place Tor the tax
ing care OF young men. The question was
whether the money should be raised 10
carry on the work as before in elevating
Young men and keep them from falling
into the ditch, or should Richmond say
10 The world that her people had not
money enough 20 keep up the institution
He urged the business men and the CHRIS
tan men Of this city 10 show That they
are interested in the institution ana VIII
Ing 10 uphold anything that serves 10
raise the welfare Of young men. lie lelt
certain that there were men IN hlch
mond who had the means ana "ouiu
not allow such stigma 10 fan upon the
city as 20 have the doors OF the associa-
ton building closed 49,,
Rev. Dr. Young. who followed Dr. New
Ton. thought that many people In TINS
citv really did not know the amount Oh
Good done by the association. It's re-
norts only gave a small account or the
some. and the public could not anord 10

because It was a band OF union between
the churches He loved his chprch-the

should keep him from loving people IN
