Young Mems Christian Association. who
endeavored by means OF meetings held In
their tents to bring the influence OF Chris
tianity to bear upon the soldiers. The
work OF the organization In the camps in
Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines was
the subject OF a lecture delivered last
night by Noel H. Jacks. general secretary
OF the Young Mems Christian Association
at Oakland. Cal.
Mr.. Jacks gave q sketch Of the work of
the Young Mems Christian Association
from the beginning Of the war. He said:
the Christian church for the soldiers was
during the civil war. when over IS 0o0. 900
was spent for the soldiers and was the
means OF saving thousands Of lives. Act
ing upon the old plan. the Young Mems
Christian Association volunteered to do
the work for the army In Cuba and the
Philippines. In the beginning representa-
tives were sent to all the camps in the
United States 10 see what could be done.
These upon their return advised the es-
adjustment of a branch In every camp.

as they did. and several Of them gave up
their lives In this work
Mr.. Jacks gave short description %
the work as II had been carried on at
several OF the different camps and also at
Key West. where branch was establish
ed especially for the sailors in the navy.
He told of how the association furnished
writing material and books for the SOL
diers and by their influence kept the SOL
diers away from the dangers of the can
teens ana variety theaters about the
camps
From this the speaker turned his atten-
ton to San Francisco and the camps
which were established there. In San
Francisco he himself had been actively
engaged in the work for six months He
spoke of the difficulties encountered In
their work there, for In some cases the
officers of the regiment would not
allow them to set UP the Y NJ c. A.
tents within the lines. Mr.. Jacks also
said that the great increase In the num-
sprang up around the camps was a seri-
Qua detriment t. his work.
Mr.. Jacks then turned to the Philippines
and told of the Journey there of two young
bers OF the Y. n. c. A.
In connection with his lecture Mr.. Jacks
exhibited stereopticon views OF the Y NJ

THE LIAR AND THE THIEF.

Lying is of all mean traits of
character the most despicable.
This is the crying sin of the age,
that men do not value their word.
If man steals and is caught,
the world brands him thief and
shuns him; he can never outlive
it; but if he lies, though it may
be proven, he is, still respectable
and if he profit,by the lie, he is
esteemed especially clever and
smart. But the thief is not near
so dangerous to society as the
liar. We can protect ourselves
against thieves, we can guard our
possessions, but the liar can pen
citrate the strongest fortress and
blast the most precious of our pos
sessions. He can go into court
and rob and murder at will. He
can blast life or ruin a fortune
and there is no redress.-Ex.
