Our Jim says that the young men of
this section generally do not seem to
appreciate to any very great extent
Christian Associations. These institu
tions are especially intended for their
good at least, that is the design for
which they are established. The reading
rooms which these places have are fur
nished with suitable publications from
which young men might improve their
minds if they had mind to; but they
appear to prefer other places of resort,
from which nothing elevating can posi-
bly, be derived 1t is true that there are
many other places of moral tendency
which young men might attend, but the
characters here alluded to keep aloof
from them, which should not be the
case. Opportunities to improve and
edify the mind when neglected are sure
to prove baneful in the long run.
Young men who prefer pernicious ways
to moral rec.itude are not the charac
ters likely to be found in Christian
Association rooms. Their ideas run
counter to such places, morally and in
tellectually.
