heathiest he has known,

people-of hard work and responsibility as bunk

For the past ten years Mr.. Potter has never

time he suffered from nervous prostration that

That this remarkable immunity from weakness
and disease, at such time in life, has not hap
pened by chance knows better than the
aged treasurer himself. In June, 1901, when suf-
fering from a number of old chronic complaints,
Mr.. Potter induced by relatives to use Paine
Celery Compound for the first time. The effect was
immediately beneficial The uninterrupted good
health that he has since enjoyed dates from that
time. Mr.. Potter's grateful letter to the proprie-

personal experience, and also full knowledge OF
what it has done for very many Of his friends, to
whom he has in turn recommended the great rem

EARLY Y. M. C.. A. MOVEMENT
FIRST ORGANIZATION FORMED IN
BOSTON IN 1851.
Washington the Fifth City to Enter
the Ranks-Rev. VIM. Chauncy
LangdOn's Interest.

Rev. James H. Ross Of Boston, Mass in
discussing, with a reporter of The Star, the
beginning of the movement which event.
ually developed the Young Mems Christian
Association made some statements Of great
interest to members and friends of that or
ganization In Washington, especially with
reference to the progress of the co-opera-
tive feature advocated by a citizen OF this
city, and its adoption and application.
Washington, it is stated. was among the
first of the communities to organize an as
ISOLATION.
1.-The press committee for the jubilee con-
vention of the Y. M c. A., to be held in
Boston, June II to 49, said Mr.. Ross. rs
of the opinion that special interest should
be taken in the convention by the consutu-
ency of the Washington association. The
Boston association was organized Decem-
Der 90 1851, the first to be formed In the
United States The jubilee convention Is to
be held in June. rather than in December,
for prudential reasons. My impression Is
that the Washington ASSOCIATION was inc
associations formed, additional to the Bos-
ton association, were established In Wor-
cester and Springfield, Mass; Buffalo. n
Y; Portsmouth, N. H; Washington, D. c.,
and New York city. The New York as
ISOLATION was organized in June, 1852.
1.-The Boston association made immediate
use Of the press ana OF the mans 10 cir
culate its constitution. A copy fell into the
hands of the Rev. Clement M. Butler, then
rector of Trinity Church, Washington. and
in April. 1852, he handed 1t to William
Chauncy Langdon, afterward the Rev. Will
liam Chauncy Langdon, D. D., asking him
and Mr. Thomas Duncan, who were teach
ers in the Sabbath school, II some such or
ganization might not be formed in Wash
ington They consulted with a few clergy
men, who doubted II the proposition were
feasible, because so many of the young
men Of Washington were transients.
1.-THE real fact was that the reason then
commonly assigned for organizing any
waere was that young men might find a
Christian environment while absent from
home and while accommodating themselves
to life in the cities, especially the large
cities.
"a meeting was held Wednesday, June Q,
1852, in Masonic Hall. corner Of e and 10th
streets. About sixty persons attended 1t.
A committee to prepare constitution was
appointed, and an adjourned meeting was
held and organization was perfected June

Henry Clay died In Washington.
''The difficulties Of Christian Association
or union asserted themselves. There were
more and more serious difficulties then
than now. Each denomination was to be
represented and there were three varieties
