educational advantages to be obtained
from the association at its various
branches are many, and besides lee
lures and libraries may be mentioned
debating societies, language classes,
chess clubs, restaurants, gymnasia
and all sorts of athletic clubs.
Some idea of the Vastness of the
association may be gathered from the
following figures, which are taken
from the last annual report. In Great
and Greater Britain there are 1,654
centers and 1,5S5 auxiliary associa-
tions, with something like 130, 900
members. while in foreign countries
mot British possessiOns) there are
over 5000 centers, and nearly as many
auxiliary associations, with a mem
Hership of close on half a million; nor
must one forget that had it not been
for the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation that excellent sister society,
the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation, would probably never have
come into existence.
In America the movement has taken
even stronger foothold, and since 1851,
both in Canada and the United States,
systematic effort has resulted in a
large organization. Amongst the
many agencies which have had their
origin in American association, may
be mentioned the now well-knOwn
Society for the Suppression of Vice.
Needless to say, the American asso-
citation, like its prototype in Eng
land, has for its main object the i'm
proyement of the spiritual, mental,
social and physical condition of young
men.
"The youth of a nation are the
trustees of its posterity," and the in
calculable services the association has
rendered to young men in teaching
them to keep their minds and bodies
pure and healthy, and helping them
to lead higher, nobler lives, earn for
it the gratitude of all right-thinlirg
men and women.

PROUD OF HIS WORK.
Evolution Of the Young Mems
Christian Association,
Sir George Williams, Founder of ths
Society, Talks About Its Social,
Educational and Spiritual
Advantages.

Writing of the evolution of the Y.
NJ. c. A., Sir George Williams, its
founder, says in the Chicago Tribune
that the association began in a small
way-1n fact, with only ~ men; that
was SO years ago, now it is repre-
sented by more than half a million
members, divided into some 1000 diff
ferent centers. scattered all over the
world. These are organized into ma
tionaI unions. and these again into
one comprehensive international
union. It's inception may be said to
date from June 6, 1874, when some of
my fellow workers met together at
the close of one of our weekly prayer
meetings to consider the importance
and practicability of establishing a
society for improving the spiritual
condition of young men engaged in
the drapery and other trades. Our
first headquarters consisted of a small
room in a coffee-h ouse, for which we
paid half crown week rent. Soon,
when this accommodation was found
too small for the increasing numbex
of members, we removed to Radley's
hotel, Blackfriars, where we had the
use Of good room. Two years after
its foundation branch associations
were established in Piccadilly, Isling-
ton, PimlicO. Southwark and White
chapel, and at Manchester, Liverpool,
Taunton, Exeter and Leeds. In 1s4s
We were obliged to make another
move, this time to rooms in Gresham
street, where we were able to found
a library. The association gradually
increased its influence year by year,
and in 1880 we were in a position to
puechase the freehold of Exeter hall
(fOr e25.O0O).
The first social departure OF the
association may be said to have be-
gun at the end of 1s45, when the
committee adopted a new form Of
pOpularizing instruction and informa-
ton by giving a course of weekly lee
lures on useful and entertaining sub

An old negro died suddenly in
Richmond, Va, recently. 1t was
thought he was in poverty little short
of what might be termed abject. He
had for years been subsisting in the
barest way on an income derived from
picking the feathers of fowls for
market. For picking a chicken he
would receive two cents; for a duck
or turkey, five cents. After the negro
was dead the people with whom he
lived went through his possessions to
learn the value of his property.
There were found in his old trunk
$500 in money and certificates of bank
deposits aggregating $1,000. The ne
gro left a fortune of 81 300 in money.
and as far as is known all of it was
made by picking feathers from fowls

however, is still parched by the ter.
