There has hccn n halt in the work of
securing subscriptions to the Young
Mons Christian Association building
fund. After about $65,OOO had been OBJ
tained out Of $l25.OOO wanted war was
declared and the trustees decided to
stop the soliciting for n time. 1t is
probable, however, that the work Of
securing pledges will be resumed about
June 10.
1t was not because the money could
not he obtained that the soliciting was
discontinued, but il was fclt that the
present unsettled state of affairs was
not conducive to cheerful giving and
