Y NJ. C. A. ANNIVERSARY.
Good Music, an Able Address and Interest
ing Reports Draw Large
Audience.

To say that the entertainment at
Merrill Institute last night was a eel
ebration of the anniversary of the Y.
NJ. c. A. implies that large audience
was present. Otherwise, one would
believe thar the noble work done by
that Christian organization in behalf
of the most important member ofso-
ciety-the young men-were unap-
preciated by the people of this city.
But other attractions aside from the
anniversary helped to draw full
house last night. There were songs
and reports and an address by Rev.
Geo. w. Hill, of Hendrix College, Con-
way.
Miss Katie Adair, OF Warren, and
Mr.. S. A. Kincaide mingled their
voices in a beautiful duet to the de-
light of all present. The report OF
the treasurer was next read. which
showed that while no large surplus
OF funds had moulded in the vaults
OF the Treasury, yet the Y. NJ. {. A.
had been able to meet its obligations
promptly during they Secretary
kincaide's report showed in brief
what had been accomplished by the
\. M. G. A. of this city during the
past year, which was, indeed, very
creditable. Mrs. Fl G. Higinbotham.
as temporary secretary of the Ladies'
Auxiliary, reviewed the generous as
sistanee rendered the Y NJ. G. A. by
that organization during the past
year, which showed that the ladies,
too. had been ae1iXe in -tAe-nn444ll
work. The address OF the evening
was delivered by Rev. Geo. W. Hill,
who chose as his subject "Christian
Education" Mr.. Hiilciearly showed
the advantages to be derived from
an education from both a financial
2nti moral standpoint, and said that
why there Were so many ignorant
people In this country was because
OF their lack OF appreciation Of an ed
ucation, not that the opportunities
were not at hand.
