Saturdays lighting began at dRybreak.
The allied forces opened with several of
the Terriole's AZ naval guns. six field
guns and numerous machine guns, the
firing being at long range. They con-

The secretary sums up the objects Of
the association in the following Ian
guage:
I'VE would have our friends know
that the Young Mems Christian aSso-
citation is something more than a read
ing room maintained by the generosity
Of the people of salt Lake City: it is
the home Of an organization with CO
hesion and vitality. with purposes
which are defined and methods which
have stood the test Of time and cliti-
cism. Nor are these rooms simply club
rooms for the benefit of those who are
members, with fees so large as to pro-
hibit those who most need the advan-
tages from joining.
Nor is the association in any way
substitute for the church. recurring
those who join TO subscribe to a creed
and excluding those whose religious
views do not accord with its own. Yet
the basis of all its work is religious, the
motive which prompts It to all of its
activities is love and loyalty to Jesus
Christ. 1t believes that if men are to
be permanently helped and the best
kind of manly character built Up in
them it viii be only as the foundation
for cleanliness, pOliteness, honesty aurf
reliability is laid in a desire to be truly
Christian.
Upon this basis we invite the careful
consideration and cooperation of the
public to the end that the work may
be OF greater usefulness TO young men"
