Railroad Department of Y. NJ. c. A.

The elevatiug influence of the Young
Mems Christian association hss been
recognized by many railroads in this
country, as shown by the money ex-
pended annually for the support of
railroad branches OF the association.
Last year this amounted to over $780,
900. The money thus given to sustain
the work, has. according to the tesii-
10 ny of the officials, been a paying iu-
vestmsnt, and the constantly increas-
log demand for more efficient and re-
liable railroad employees has made the
work almost imperative in many cases.

been obtained.
