The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1899-01-06
Y. N. c. A.
Has been Organizedi In this City. Al
Indications Good for New
Building.

That hustling, earnest, pushing |
Dung minister, Henry N. FaulcOner,
las succeeded in establishing in Lam
aster what we firmly believe will be
he greatest blessing the town has ev-
r had. He went to the young men
# the town and laid before them the
many social, healthful and, best Of all,
;piritual advantages to be derived
rom the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION. Those talked to grasped|
the idea and, as result, thirty young
men met in the Masonic Hall Friday
night to perfect the organization. G.
Bright Swinebroad was selected tenn
pOrary chairman, and Louis Landram
temporary secretary. Rev. FaulcOner
again stated the plan, and the follow
ing were unanimously chosen as
permanent officers: Henry FaulcOner,
president; Kenneth Postel, vice-presi-
dent: John E. Stormes, secretary and
w. H. Kinnaird, treasurer. A COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for
place of next meeting, several enthusi-
astic addresses were made and the
meeting adjourned with prayer by
Prof. Postel.
These organizations have been put
on foot at other towns, but, after a
time, have fallen through. To keep
the interest up, and hold the AssOcia-
tion together, it is the intention of the
young men to erect building. Now
this sounds like most too big an under
taking, but it will be done. DR.. Kin
naird offered to donate the lot, where
his Office now stands, and five hundred
dollars in cash. His only cOnsidera.
tiOn is that he be allowed an Office in
the building. A young gentleman, who
can do so and never miss the money,
says he will give one thousand dollars.
We know another party who will give
five hundred dollars. Now this has
come unsolicited. When aid is asked
it is safe to say enough will be subScrib
cd to put up one of the best buildings
in the state.
1t is the intention to have a library
large reading and lecture room, gym
naSium and bath rooms. A janitOl
will be regularly employed to look af
ter the house.
The young men have absolutely M
place to 60 at night or Sunday after
noon, and in ninety-nine out of ev
cry one hundred cases they get int
bad habits by lOating in places which
are far from being Sunday Schools O
Prayer Meetings. The library will b
kept supplied With choice literature
the gymnasium and bath rooms Opel
at all times, and any young man vii
be perfectly free to use them. RELIC
iOuS services will be held every Sunda
afternoon, and every member will hav
a chance to take part. 1t will be tn
stepping stone to going to work il
ones church. The average yOun
man, while he feels that ''some day
he will settle down and take an inter
est in church matters, yet he shrink
from the idea Of appearing in public
One Of the chief objects of this Orde
will be to ''eaSe up" to the point wher
a young fellow will be qualified and
most of all, willing to take part il
church affairs.
So far, about fifty have signifie,
their intention to go into the AssOcia
tiOn and we never saw anything star
out with more favorable prospects. w
want to say here that this organiza
tiOn is not only for the town folks, blu
any young man in the county is wei
come to come, and they are wanted.
Another thing. Some may thin
they are too worldly" to 60 into thi
association. Dispel that idea, yOun
fellow. The object is to get hold Q
worldly men, purifythem first SC
cially, and bodily, then work on hir
spiritually. To put it in other words
If you want to get Strengthened out t
live an honorable, upright life, this i
the channel to enter to get up to tina
point.
The first meeting will be Sabbatl
afternoon at 3p. m. in the Odd Fee
lows hall. Prof. POstle will be leader
Benefits; Religious, Intellectual, Sc
cial and Physical. We want to NEE
with the club organized by DR.. McKe
for our Social, Musical and Intellectu
al development. This will meet twic
each month and will not interfere wit
the Y. M. G. A., duties or pleasures
but will be an impetus of great goo
and success.
Remember that character is tn
thing that stands for time and Eternity
Then let us begin at once to enitiat
it. Oh! with what delight we shal
hail such building. Come there witt
your contributions and build a mOnu
ment to sin and idleneSS and that shal
stand for the good of others long afte
we have gone to the grave where W.
can never again benefit the world il
which we live.
