When the Reception Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association last
year determined to inaugurate the mem
bers' course, and to provide for the ioem-
bers Of the association and their friends
list Of clean, and at the same time most
attractive entertainments, some doubted
the success of the undertaking. While
the attendance last year was not all that
was hoped for, yet it exceeded the first
year of the Star Course, and during the
latter half of the course, when it became
understood that there were star attrac-
tons in the Members Course, the attend
ance was very gratifying, and the course
closed with the moonlight excursion,
which was q memorable event.
The committee OF this year Is composed
Of the following active association work
ers: II. l.. King, chairman; r. j. willing
ham, Jr, secretary, and Messrs. H. v.
Lineback, G. J. Benson, T. g. Tabb, w. ID.
