orrauiyation of University club"

cA.;stian Association. although the rules,

s,sr II seems to me that this Is a
,saching out In the right direction. and
I, would be an admirable thing il the
M.,ussiops of the club might be left open
"a the public While the subjects OF
Ma discussions may be rather heavy for
M Young aud gay people to take much
Irtsrest In at first, would they not be
Ia gradually to become more AID more
Isitrested If the character of the discus
inns we're to be broadened? II the Uni

Ia discuss points with them?
The Young Mems Christian Association
IA one OF the grandest and most useful
h the Institutions of our country. In
uery city of any size in the Union you
I'm and Young Mems Christian Associa-
lion rooms for the homeless young men
81 that city. They have their Libraries,
uunasiums, reception rooms and all
lho requirements of club--except, OF
tolrse the barrooms-thus providing a
paee for the young men of the city who
have nowhere to go after business hours.
| prominent society woman was speaking
| Of this association to me not long ago.
She had heard a young man, who had
jusl come to Houston, regTetting his
baellness. and she said in speaking Of
n. I'VE ought to interest ourselves
more In the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and add to their usefulness"
/ While faithful few in the city have
worked for the Young Mems Christian
Assoulaton here, it certainly has not
| had the support it deserves. When We
1 think Of the good done by the associa-
ton during the Spanish American war;
81 the comfort their people and their
Offices we're to the men who left their
homes and all home comforts behind
,Xham for the sake OF what they Thought
was right when we think of what q
refuge their we'll fitted rooms are in the
big cities TO the armies of young men
who 80 out into the world to fight more
poier armies than those Of Spain, then
Ve.ean realize something of what they
are doing all day and every day to de-
serve our earnest help and sympathy.
The association Is not confined within
church lines at all; it is neutral land
where all communions can meet and help
10 one grand cause. This University club
promises 10 draw new interest to IT., and
their meetings. which will be held on
lhe evenings of the first and third Mon
Gays Of each month, will be of especial
interest. as there are some very bright
men connected with the club who Will
speak on the subjects given out. The
lrst Of these subject will be: Has the
N%ional election of November settled
sny lssues?" and is, Of course, one not
lAely TO interest the young girls of our

Apropos OF associations that do good,
