 The great need of the day is to satis-
 fly the social craving of men. Any or
 ganization which can furnish recreation
 and amusement under wholesome and
 elevating influences deserves the sym-
 pathy of all of our churches. We must
 recognize the fact that notwithstanding
 all the influences for good which may
 be exerted on the Sabbath day, it will
 be utterly impossible to produce satis-
 factory results if our young men are
 surrounded by degrading environments
 the other six days of the week. Here
 the association supplies much that the
 young mans nature craves.
 The social rooms are furnished with
 games music and good magazines. But
 above all, a good wide-awake reception
 committee is to be found on duty each
 evening to welcome the stranger and
 promote good fellowship. It is an in-
 spring sight to drop into the parlors
 Thursday evening and see thirty young
 men enjoying an evening of song. In
 addition to the entertainments provided
 by the social committee at the rooms,
 it has deemed wise, this year to estab-
 fish a permanent entertainment at the Hyperion, so that the public as well as
 members of the association might en-
 joy the very best attractions at nom-
 inal cost.

 venber with the Womans String or
 chestra of New York and includes six
 exceptional numbers and the tickets
 have been placed at the extremely low
 price of $1 for the six.
 Another agency through which the
 association has been extremely helptul
 is our relief and employment depart
 ment Worthy young men have been
 temporarily assisted and positions have
 been secured for deserving cases.
 We recognize the fact that our future
 workers are to come from the junior
 department Whether it meets with the
 approval of parents and guardians or
 not. boys will congregate and often form clubs which usually prove disas- . trous.
 How much better that they should organize under Christian auspices, es-
 pecially at this age when moral choices are made. We are especially favored in securing a junior department secre- tary who has been successful with
 bows. Parents may rest assured that
 their boys will receive the very best at
 tention while at the rooms of the asso-
 citation. at the specified hours.
 Although our organization is strictly q. work for young men, yet in trying to make our rooms home-like and attract i've and also in preparing for social oc- casons, we recognize that the presence If woman is as valuable to the associa- tion as it is to the home. A women auxiliary has just been organized ana
 we cordially invite all women interest ed in the welfare of the young men or New Haven to join.
 We recognize as supreme the heeus of the spiritual nature. Our purpose
 is to develop the perfect man, not d sentimental, Unbalanced product, but the manly man after the fashion or the | manliness of Christ. In order to do this if is. necessary to enlarge the vision of our young men and we have arrang- cd for a Bible school, realizing that the greatest need of the day IS knowledge of Gods Word.
 / These Bible studies are neither emo- l tional nor sentimental, but intelligent
 and practical. Dr. Halls class last f winter demonstrated the interest in l Bible study. There were twenty-five at 3 the first session and eighty at the last ? This year the number of classes has l increased to seven. The opening of our t Rib1e school will occur Thursday, Mo- t yenber 3. and the studies have been g arranged for all classes of men.
 Z series of opera house meetings were l conducted during the spring months I with gratifying results. The first meet = ing was addressed by D. L. Moody. - Every available seat was occupied ana t more than 1000 were turned away In ] our opera house meetings we suffered e for lack of men to do personal work, - but this need will be met this year. e The first meeting for the season of '9S S and '99 will be held at the Grand y Opera house Sunday, November 6. e4 During July, August and September r a most successful series of outdoor 9 meetings were held on the New Haven l Green. and averaged little over 600 . in attendance At one service by &C.,

As one | of the lasting results, young Italian : was so impressed with the importance : of Christian service that he organized a = Bible class for young men of his own n nationality and will himself act as in. r terpreter-
