walls and shelves were covered with the
dI awnings and compositions which are the
result of nine months of hard work. All Of
this work was first-class, especially the
drawings.
The program rendered was "short, but

FINAL MASS MEETING.
District Christian Endeavor Union
Closes Work for 1SO6-07.


The final mass meeting Of the District
of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union.
for the year 1S96-'97, was held Friday even
ing in the Church Of the Reformation. The
ediffce was tastefully decorated with 80
convention flags, and presented a pleasing
appearance.
The proceedings opened with a spirited
song service. conducted by Mr.. Charles 8.
Clark, and with devotional exercises, led
by President Miles M. Shand. The pro-
gram of the evening, which was arranged
by the good literature committee of the
District Union, included four ten-minute
addresses of special interest to this depart
ment of Christian Endeavor work.
Rev. Adam Reoch, pastor. of the Fifth
Congregational Church, spoke upon the
topic. The Effect Of Reading on Char
acter." He spoke Of the detrimental effect
resulting from a person putting his heart
and sympathies into light and useless lit
erature. and Urged that Endeavorers should
read only the best, of which there was an
veiop intellectually and morality. Find
the natural run of your mind,'' said the
sneaker. land place yourself in a position
where you can study the works OF those
whose minds have run in a similar channel
as your own"
THE Use and Abuse Of the Periodical
was the topic of an address by Rev. J..
Fred Heisse, pastor of Wesley NJ F.
ly to the menace to the youth of the land
which existed in the wide circulation of
! immoral and sensational literature, and
urged upon his audience the necessity of
vigorous action toward abating what he
considered one of the greatest evils of the
day.
Miss Mary Owen Dean of the Eastern
High School spoke in a very pleasing man
ner upon the subject, What Shall l Read
in the Summer" The speaker referred to
summer time, with it's relaxation and rec
reatton, as an opportunity for great intel
lectual Strengthening. She urged that all
debated books be laid aside, and that the
best of writings, of which there is such
an abundance, be read Miss Dean named
a number of authors whose writings she
would recommend for summer reading.
The closing address of the evening was
made by Rev. Asa 8. Fiske. His topic was
Culture for Service" Culture said the
speaker, 'can be for nothing else but
service" He referred, however, to the two
kinds of service for which culture could
be attained. Culture employed for selfish
enjoyment and position, the speaker
thought, was less desirable than ignorance
and poverty. Development for a high and
| unselfish purpose, that of usefulness to
others, and in advancing the cause of
Righteousness and justice, was the only
true and profitable culture.
The meeting closed with the singing of
the hymn of conservation, I'll Live for
Thee and the benediction.

Newspaper comm ent on the great Wal
lace shows. when summed up would int
ply the strongest praise that pen anu ink
are capable of expressing. Not an unfav-
orable notice has been received in any city
visited, but on the contrary, all unite in
pronouncing the performance the best ever
seen. Another point always emphasized Is
the marked cleanliness of the show in q
n oral nse. Catch-penny swindling de-
vices are rigidly excluded, and no act which
could in any way offend the most Puri-
tarical person is permitted to nave a place
on the program. The Wallace shows al
ways make friends, courtesy Is shown
patrons by every attaChe of the circus, and
ladies and children without escort are
given special attention.
The shows have never exhibited in Wash.
irgton before, but all lovers of the circus
can attend during the coming engagement,
secure in the knowledge that they will see
the best of everything that boundiess re-
sources can secure long years of ex-
perienCe suggest. Wednesday and Thurs

THE Y. u. G. A.


IR0 UteWt Nee0 OF n new buHtO118 u
Enlarge Its ,usefulness.
To the Editor Ct The Evehing Star:
Attention having been called to the pro-
ject of erecting, Fin cur fair city, a build
ing for the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, which shallbe acredit to the citizens
of Washington and source of help and
pleasure to those who come here as Wis
itors. it will not be amiss to ask few lines
in your paper to1 state its needs and work
as seen through abe Eyes Of a student and
well wisher.
If there is oneentexprise that should en-
list the sympathy and support of every
citizen of Washington it is the work of the
Y. M. C. A, which cannot fail to bring
home to every man and woman who aids II
some blessing, either direct or indirect.
While there are many places which call
young men away to pass the evenings
which are ruinous beth to them, and often
q source of sorrow and disgrace to their
frieneds, how many do we have that will
at the same time confer a pleasure and a
profit
Combined with the strictly religious part
OF the work, which Is, Of course, para
mount. Is the educational department, and
Its moral associations. Theclasses referred
to have been tested to their utmost capaci-
ty during the past schoolsyear. and If Il
new building was erected it would offer
much better facilities to help the youth OF
washington to obtain first-class educa-
ton at a moderate rate.
The city of Washington probably does
not fully realize its debt of gratitude to
those energetic and faithful few who have
stood by during the dark days of its ex-
istenoe, and made it possible, at this time
TO give the people of Washington chance
to contribute to this worthy object.
The remarks of visitors to our city are
words of surprise that better building for
the Y. NJ. c. A. is not erected here, and thu
remark can only be met by the statement
OF its noble work in years gone by and its
plans for future usefulness. May the day
not be far distant when Washington, the
center of learning and culture shall have
within its borders building for the Y. NJ
c. A. worthy alike of its noble projectors
and the citizens of Washington.
