The General Secretary, in his report,
said he had found the association in a
very disorganiZed condition and the
rooms occupied far too few for a live
association in city like Sacramento.
! He had found unpaid bills amounting to
| 81 800 20, with an inadequate subscrip-
| ton list to meet them. He spoke en-
! ccura gingly Of the educational work
and regretted that it was so hampered
| for lack of room that no two classes
| could conveniently be conducted at the
same time. The physical department
showed good work, and the Gymnasium
Committee was specially commended on
their plans for the coming winter. The
religious work showed two Bible
| classes well attended and eighteen
young men converted. The General
| Secretary recommended:
First-That the association raise
! s., 800 for the work of the coming year,
which would with membership fees and
good management, pay all expenses Of
! the association and aid in paying the
debt
Second-That the association, as soon
as possible, employ a man to give all
his time to the physical department
Third-That the association take such
steps as Will be necessary to place it's
educational department in position to
help the hundreds of young men of
Sacramento who have not had the bene
fits of a common school education.
Fourth-That the members seek to
carry the association idea of mutual
helpfulness into all the activities of the
association and that as active men,
bers they seek with more energy and
tact than ever before to lead the asso-
ciate members one by one to Jesus
Christ, and having done that to place
them in a church home.
The meeting, though called for bust
ness, proved a very enjoyable affair, as
refreshments were served by a COM
mittee of ladies from the Congregational
Church.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the gymnasium work of the assoc
citation. The classes meeting on Tues

apparatus. The owners of the building
are taking steps to obviate the diff
Guilty.
