The Young Women's Friendly asso-
citation of st. Paul is similar in the
character of its works to the Young
Women's Christian ASSOCIATION, but it's
methods perhaps give it a wider scope
of usefulness. 1t is especially unique
In its origin. The manager, Mr.. Lich-
tenberger, had formerly been in charge
of the Young Mems Christian asso-
had often thought of the different or
CARNATIONS for the benefit of men,
while there was not one in the whole
city of this character for young women.
He himself relates it's beginning in
somewhat the following language:
when l went out in the morning
I used to see the girls coming down
the street with their lunches under
their arms and 1 thought: Where do
these girls go at noon, and how do
they spend their time? Wouldn't it
be nice to have some resort for then? ?
And the thought gave birth to action"
AS is always the case, there We're
more to discourage at first than TO
give aid, but IF it is Gods work we
will succeed was the feeling of the
originator And so, pleasant place
was provided where the girls could eat
their lunches and get a cup of coffee
II they wished. The first coffee do

vote has been unanimously in the affirmative.
There has never been any question in our
minds to whether the work should live or
not, but we know that its roots have struck
deeply enough into the common interest to in
sure permanent vitality. So long as there
are self-supporting women in st. Paul, so long
there must and will be Young Womens
Friendly association"
After an enumeration of much that had been
accomplished, the report reads:
''Still another good feature is the loyalty of
the girls to the association, and their readi-
ness to stand in the breach in case of an
emergency. When they learned of the recent
pressing need for money to lift the debt on the
rent, a number of them expressed their desire
to help in some way, and doubtless would have
found way to do so if it had become neces-
sary. 1t is only just that this willingness
should be encouraged within reasonable linn
its, and that feeling of responsibility for the
permanence and well-being of the association
should be widespread among it's members.
BEST of all is the personal devotion of the
girls to the founders and conductors of the
work. 1t is marvellous gift, through which
one man and one woman can bestow on hun
dredS of girls personal affection which makes
each one feel herself to be separately beloved
and not merely one of many benefciaries. 1t
is this element more than any other which
makes the work unique, which eliminates all
flavor of patronage and enriches the nature of
the recipient. without taking away her tndi-
vidualty and independence. In all associa-
tions of this character the avowed purpose
is to help those who are trying to help them
selves. 1t is a delicate and dangerous under
taking, and we are all familiar with failures in
this line. 1t is unnecessary to say that an
executive board would fail in such a work
without the or two peculiarly gifted
agents to carry it on. Let offer thanks for
every dollar that comes into the treasury, and
for every new evidence of the value and ap-
probation of our work; but most of ALL for
the two brave souls who laid it's foundations
seven years ago."
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-03-08

or harmony pervades the whole insti-
tuition.
During the past year every state in
the union has been represented here, as
well as England, Scotland and Canada,
ana the name of the Young Womens
Friendly Association of St Paul Is
becoming familiar outside Of the city
and state.
While so much is done in the way Of
helping themselves, at least $4,000 are
needed yearly from the people of st.
Paul, in order to conduct the work
properly.
The managers wish to call attention
particularly to the fact that visitors
are always welcome, especially those
who have subscribed to the work, that
they may see what has really been &C
complished.
Although the association moved to
what then seemed commodious quart
ers, three years ago, they have slowly
outgroWn them, and one of the greatest
needs of the work today is a thoroughly
equipped building in the business por-
ton Of the city, and summer home at
the lake side, owned by the associa-
ton, where tired workers can have
few days rest and change. Surely no
one can erect more enduring momu-
ment to his own or so the memory of
some loved one than this" is the plea
made by Mrs. Lichtenberger. This as
ISOLATION is thought to be conducted
the most economically, and at the same
time to help the largest number of
young women in the United States.
SECRETARYS REPORT.
The following extracts are taken
from the report of the corresponding
secretary for the past year:
"The history Of the Young Women's Friend
ly association for 1885, while it presents few
salient points for comment Is perhaps more
truly significant than that of any other year
In Its existence The work has been subjected
to the supreme critical test and the question
is 1t worth paying for?' has been answered
finally. The members of the association and
the executive board had but one answer to
this question, but the last word was left with
the public. 1t is sufficient to say here that the

fact should be borne in mind by all friends in
terested in it. 1t has been truthfully stated
that in all the annals of Christian work there
has been no other society or organization
quite like 1t and few which have met with
such signal success.
We all know that other things being equal,
each one of us can do most successfully that
work in which our hearts and enthusiasm are
enlisted, and to which we feel especially
drawn. l think can truthfully say that this
board Of managers has stood behind MIR. and
Mrs. Lichtenberger in the spirit in which it
was organized. The results have attested the
wisdom of their plans and desires
The old rooms on East Seventh street hav-
ing been found totally inadequate, the present
large, more convenient and attractive quarters
on the corner of Seventh and Jackson were
secured and thrown open early in December
1892. Parlor, reading room with books, maya
zines, newspapers, a piano, easy chairs, two
dining rooms and kitchen have been provid-
ed; substantial lunches are furnished at cost
to all who wish them, but any are at liberty
to bring their own lunches and enjoy the
rest. comfort, and protection there afforded

and best results we need the contributions
and assistance of our friends.

The following is a condensed account
of the history and work of the asso-

published in an annual report:
ITS PURPOSES.
1t has been thought advisable to make a
brief statement of the aims and purposes and
progress of the Young Womens Friendly
association" Many are no doubt familiar
with the circumstances attending its inception.
They illustrate the power of prayer, consecra-
ton and earnest effort Mr.. and Mrs. Licll-
tenberger having been actively engaged for
many years in practical benevolent and Chris
tan work. and being brought into contact
with the young women working in stores,
shops and factories and seeing and being
touched by their struggles to help themselves
and, having it signally borne in upon them
that they could be of special service opened
a small room on East Seventh street in De-
cember, 1888, and invited them to use it as
place in which to eat their lunches and to
rest during their noon hour. There was an
immediate response to the invitation, eight
cen visiting the room the day it was opened.
Although without resources, or any visible
means OF support, their faith, whole-hearted
conservation and active efforts brought them
help, and the work grew with wonderful rap
ldlty, confirming them in their strong belief
that they were distinctly called of God to en-
gage in it, and inspiring them constantly with
fresh hope and courage. Following the lead
ings of Providence, and guided thereto, as

Especially are the younger girls
benefited, who begin so early their
contact with the outside world. The
hour they spend here every day in the
atmosphere Of this place will help
counteract many opposite influences to
which they are daily subjected.
The president of a Chicago associa-
ton Of similar character, when visit
ing here, remarked upon the home
like air that pervaded the place, and
which they had been unable to attain.
Another familiar with similar institu-
ticns all over 90 the United States,
thought she had seen nothing quite
like this one. &C
Those in charge Of the work proudly
say that they do not hear gossip
among the girls, and that they are
kind and helpful to, one another. The
motto of the association is, Bear We

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

The very atmosphere around the
guiding spirits of this place is full Of
sympathy and love for all young wom-

have so well succeeded, is to make a
home for their girls. Many one has
come stranger to st. Paul and found
friends here. The warm personal in

that is bestowed when needed, the
counsel given when sought, only the
ones who have experienced their value
can know what they mean. Such inf1u-

be greatly enlarged and extended if they could
have the assistance of others. Accordingly,
in 1880, an organization was effected with
