MEMORIAL SERVICES AT THE Y.

Mr.. Worth's death Is a severe loss ia
the Young Mems Christian Association.
He has always been its most staunch
supporter in a financial way and in all
directions. He was one Of the most
faithful attendants, and since its foun-
dalton has been a director and trustee.
He was hardly yer missed from the
board and committee meetings, and
took a great interest in everything
connected with the association work.
When money was to be raised, he not
only went out in that interest, but,
while few knew it, his donations to the
building and work amounted o to
hundreds, but thousands Of dollars.
The association has appointed a del
egation to attend the funeral, and they
and as many members as can attend,
will leave the Y. NJ. c. A. hall at 1913
a. m. for the residence and go thence
to the church to attend the sad rites.
Next Sunday the association will
hold memorial services and pay fitting
tribute to the memory Of it's great ben-
efactor.
