LOCAL Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.
A very enthusiastic meeting was held
Thursday night in the parlor OF the
Richmond Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, at which time the active men,
bers were present for the purpose OF re-
viewing the work of the association, and
to unite their efforts on special lines for
the next few months. The association
may well be proud Of having SO many
earnest workers-young men ready 10
assist whenever they are called upon
and, judging from the spirit Of unity
and love in the work that exists through
out the whole organization, greater things
will be accomplished In the future than
have ever been In the past.
The regular quarterly praise and
promise meeting will be held this morning
at s o'clock. This meeting is always
well attended, and proves the spirit OF
devotion and love. Although the ASSOC
citation handles athletics. and believes in
the many departments now connected
with the institution, yet the religious
aims stand highest.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the forty-first anniversary OF the
association, which will take place on
Monday, February 11th. in the associa-
ton Hall, beginning at 815 p. M. The
address will be made by Mr.. II. Thane
Miller, president OF Mt. Auburn Institute.
OF Cincinnati He will be ably assisted
by several prominent Richmond gentle
men, who will participate. and an In
teresting musical programme IL being pre-
pared. A cordial invitation Is extended
| TO both ladies' and gentlemen to attend
the exercises.
The subscriptions toward the current
expenses OF the association are being con-
tinually increased. and 1t Is to be hoped
| that by two weeks more the entire
amount (x3 6O0) will be raised. Not quite
