 MT Irvine, who is in charge of this department, stands ready to respond to the calls of the ministers of this city to assist in any work for young men which they feel could be better done by one who is In close touch with the young men of New Haven.
 The greatest field of usefulness for the association is yet to be developed. 1t Is peculiarly adapted to reach spec ial classes, such as letter carriers, fire men, policemen, elevator men, conduc- tors and motormen for whom no spec ial work is being done. There is no one church in the position to reach these special classes of men but the association, through it's social agencies and special meetings for special class es can present the claims of the church and ministry in an effective manner.
 With these enlarged plans of work in mind which demand our attention we appeal to the Christian people of this city for help. Large sums of mon- ey are given annually to educational institutions. | Many people are sup porting missionaries abroad, a few are supporting workers at home, In view of the unexcelled opportunities for def mite Christian work in this city, I be- leve I need only to callsthe attention of the generous people of New Haven to the foregoing, to meet with a ready response.
 n ortf nrIn ne ;1fi oNln provision has been made for the relig ious work by Christian woman who has agreed to give $1 1000 per year for three years or the equivalent of what was requested, an endowment of $2,500. We need practical sympathy of the some kind.
 The world needs more conservation like that exemplified by the stenog- rapher of the late Dr. J. O. Peck, who out of her salary of S6 per week sup ported an institute in India. Dr. Peck said that the music of that typewriter was the sweetest he ever heard when he realized the work it was doing by proxy over the sea.
 Our needs are great and we have al- ready outgrown our present quarters. All of the commercial branches in our educational department, numbering thirty-four students, are obliged to go to Child's Business college. We use cur parlors three times each week for educational classes and Bible study and the visitors gallery in our gymna- sium has been converted into locker and dressing room to accommodate members. One vist to our present quar- ters will satisfy any shrewd business man that we must either take an ad vanced step or lose ground already gained
 A building committee has been ap pointed to study carefully the needs of suitable building for our lot on Tenn pie street and present plans which will meet the requirements of the growing work for wears to come To erect a building of this kind we will require large contributions. Wha t greater monument could be erected by the peo- pie of this city than a fully equipped Young Mems Christian association building? Over $50 of these buildings adorn the principal streets of our large cities and the erection of many of them was made possible through memorial gifts for either a part or the while. New Haven is one of the last cities of it's size in the country without suit able home for her young men. While we are exceedingly anxious to see a home for our young men we would not have you lose sight of our real work, which is in word, the making of men.
 The world is waiting for the ideal young man, the Christ-like man to fill the shops, factories, farms, offices and professions. It is waiting for Christ like men to make and administer laws and to fill the great functions of life and bear great responsibilities. Our special work is the development of such manhood: we aim to instill into the youths of the city passion for humanity. We sincerely hope you be- lieve in our programme to the extent of hearty cooperation.
