urC-Dire ctors Encouraged.
Now that there will soon be a
change in administration of the affairs
of the local Young Mems Christian
Association and the fiscal year of the
organization is rapidly drawing to a
close it may not be amiss to give our
people an idea of the present strength
and standing of the work.
Three years ago, when the rooms in
the Liberty street block were burned,
the Association, after time, moved
into it's present quarters in the Jacobs
Lemly block with a list of I6S sub
scri berS and members.
Notwithstanding the demoraliza-
tion which then existed by the dis
enlargement from their being made
homeless by fire and the financial
pressure which later ensued, it's
vitality was such that it soon took
the front rank in the State.
The statistical records show that
during the present. year SIS members
have been on the membership roll, 479
have lost by removal, death or with
drawals IL men, leaving a net enroll :
ment of Al young men and boys.
These figures do not include 81 con
tributors, who cannot be classed as
members, nor the Ladies' Auxiliary.
Many of the associate members have
become active members by joining the
churches.
The financial condition for the fu-
jS
nave unpaid pledges Of this fiscal year
of 1928, With obligations for about
the same amount. Today, three
weeks before tue new year con mences.
they have in frst-class pledges from
business men 81, 49,, with many more
to hear from, and every likelihood
that the fees from the young men
members Will make up the balance
The amount of 81, 500 required by tn
budget for the years work.
The Directors feel encouraged and
trust the people of the two towns will
stand with them in the prosecution of
this great work for our young men.
