manhood. The rescue of athletics from OBJ
jectionable surroundings is a striking fea-
ture of the associations good work, but it is
not more important than the less snowy
work of the class room, which has given a
helping hand to young men.
Speaking again from what 1 have seen
only, l should say that the educational
work of the Washington association has
been first of all practical. Chief place has
been given to English, bookkeeping. short
hand, typewriting mechanical drawing,
telegraphy, applied electricity, commercial
law But there have been classes avail
able for those who desired to study arith-
metic, algebra, geometry, free-hand draw
ing music vocal and Instrumental; and at
tention has been given to the modern lam
uages-French, German. and, in recent
years, Spanish. A considerable member
ship has been drawn within the beneficial
influences of the association by these adj
young men have thus been directly fitted
for usefulness. and Indirectly enlisted
through gratitude, sympathy and loyalty,
in one of the most wholesome forces of the
city.
During almost the entire period of my
knowledge of it this good work has been
carried on in cramped and grossly made
quate class rooms with an improvised and
unsatisfa Glory equipment This Is the case
now The chief educational, classes are at
present meeting in rented rooms too small
to accommodate the young men who wish
to enter them. and to this Uncomfortable
arrangement Is added the further serious
handicap of distance from the amusements,
cheerfulness and Inequalities of the main
building.

ton I have noticed that Christian man
coming here in public position has got to
go to work or go to the devil In accord
ance with this suggestion, the association
undertook as far as possible to ascertain
the Christian standing at home of every
officer of the government and every sena-
tor and representative in Congress. My
own position as official reporter Of the
House of Representatives gave me special
facilities for obtaining this information
and we undertook as far as possible to af-
FORD the opportunity to every one holding
such position, who had been man at all
prominent in church work at home to show
his colors in Washington. For several wears
an evangelical meeting was held in Lincoln
nan sunday afternoon, at which one or
more public men appeared as speakers The
| open-air meetings during several years
Were unique in the character of speakers
| by whom they were addressed. At the cor
ner of 9TH street and PENNSYLVANIA avenue
large crowd always collected, and from
time to time heard addresses from three
successive Vice Presidents of the United
States Secretary of the Interior, half a
dozen heads of bureaus, many senators and
| representatives.
| 1.-The association undertook to look up
and as far as possible consolidate and or

| gave large amount of personal attention
|
| and believe that the system adopted and
| which has since been in the main followed
by the Associated Charities, and which
| grew out of our effort. is as perfect as can
| be found in any city.
| IAN out-of-door meeting was held one
Sunday afternoon in the vicinity of what is
known as the Bethany Mission of the New
! York Presbyterian Church. 1t was attend
ed by large number of fallen women and
| addressed by General Howard. A number
| of girls were present and in the course of
| conversation said: 1T is all well enough to
| ask us to become Christians, but what are
we to do? No respectable family in Wash
| ington will receive US, and we have to
either continue the lives we are living OF
starve.'
The next day large furnished house
| was rented, and was Immediately filled with
| these girls. At our request several promi-
| nent Christian ladies took the house in
/ charge. Shortly afterward ample accom-
| modations were provided in the hospital
barracks, then standing the Judiciary

his assistants, backed up by board of d.
rectors that thoroughly believes in him and

increasing, not only from the standpoint of
its educational work but in the amount of

ut was my good fortune to have been a
member of the board of managers and
chairman of the legal committee at the
time of the eviction of the association from
its quarters in the Lincoln Hall building
at the corner of 9th and d streets north
west, and it's mutations thereafter until
the building at 400 New York avenue was
purchased, and the association was settled
therein. My brief story viii relate to the
events connected with this period.
Shortly after the close of the civil war
it was determined to erect a building in
which the association should have quarters
and which should ultimately become its
property by the absorption of bonds with
surplus revenues, a most attractive scheme,
but which utterly failed of its object. The
site of the old Taylor book store and resi-
dence at the corner of 9th and d streets
northwest was secured, and the building
long known as the Lincoln Hall building
was erected thereon. The association took
possession, and for many years occupied its
assigned quarters therein.
Inc plan by winch, as already stated,
the association was to become owener of
the property, did not succeed, and the time
came when it was necessary for the board
of governors of the Soldiers Home, which
institution held controlling interest in the
assets of the stock company holding title
to the property, to have its interest deter
mined and in doing so to have possession
of what the association occupied. This
possession was obtained between two days,
and the association, without notice or
warning, found itself in the street Meet
ings of the board of managers were conse-
quently held on the very day of the evic-
ton, to which other members of the asso-
citation were invited, and it was determined
to see in the affair providence opening
the way for the association to escape from
a false and compromising position, and
take a fresh start. in new place. Suit
was, however brought to protect its rights
and interests in the old property. New
quarters obtained on the south side
of street between Sth and 9th streets
northwest, where the work went on, and
much good was accomplished.
During this period Mr. Theo. A. Harding
was called to the general secretaryship Of
the association, and accepted the call. Not
long after his arrival he learned that the
building at 1909 New York avenue. at one
time the home of the Washington Club and
later occupied by Chamberlin as a restau-

in active and earnest sympathy with the
young, and the younger taking up his faith
er's mantle and serving the associat ton with
earnestness during many years; and Mr..
Alexander L. Stuart, now our well-known
superintendent OF public schools for quite
period the general secretary, and later
on the board of managers, always ready
with his wise counsel and earnest support.
The value In community like that Of
Washington of such an organization as the
Young Mems Christian Association Is so
obvious that 1T seems almost unnecessary
at this time Of it's semi-centennial to sound
Its praises or to urge it's support by the
people at large, and so In this brief effort
to recall something of its history I can
only hope that in the coming half century
the work of the association will be fully
sustained by the citizens of Washington,
and that 1t will be able to dispense it's
benefits in ever increasing volume to the
thousands of young men who will properly
come within the sphere Of its influence.

1.-THE decade which began in 1870 was
period of great activity and upbuilding in
Y. NJ. c. A. work, not only in this city but
the country over. The remarkable influence
of such leaders as D. L. Moody, Major
Wittle. Bliss and other consecrated men
was beginning to be widely felt among
Christian young men. Although the in
ternational committee was already in exist
ence, and in the scope of it's plans for the
| social. mental and physical betterment Of
young men was not far behind the glorious
realizations of today, 1t must be confessed
that the work of the Association was then
essentially evangelistic in its common form
Of expression. 1t was time when the re-
vival spirit was rife everywhere, and be-
sides. the associations were without the
means for carrying on the social and edu-
cational work which has now become their
most effective agency for the accomplish
ment of their good purposes.
when our association took possession Of
its quarters in Lincoln Hall, it entered
upon a career Of renewed activity and sue
cess. Its spacious library, fairly we'll stock
ed with books, and it's reading room, which
contained a variety Of excellent periodicals
and newspapers, were filled with readers;
scores of young men resorted daily to the
parlors for social intercourse; it's rather
primitive gymnasium became quite popular
and yet after ALL the daily prayer meeting,
widely known as the o'clock meeting,
was the center of interest and power in
those days. For years the association main
tanned an open air meeting during the sum-
mer months at the corner of 7th street and
Pennsylvania avenue, usually followed by
an after service in the association parlors.
The leading pastors in the city in turn
rendered valuable help at these open air
meetings. and many men then well known
in public life were frequent participants in

rant and club house, was on the market
at very reasonable price. 1t was then near
the close of banking hours, and the oppor-
tunity would be lost if not taken at once
Members of the board of managers became
responsible for the immediate payment of
81 600, which secured option on the
property for six months. The New York
avenue property was then purchased, and
the association once more had home"

PERSONALLY, I have had share in the
work of the Y. M. c. A, except to conduct
its shorthand classes during the past sew
enteen years. In these fifty to one hundred
young men have received instruction an
nually. Of the graduates many are in ac-
tive employment in business houses or in
the departments in Washington or as Sec
retaries to committees or individual mem
bers of the Senate or House. Some have
reached the first rank in all that goes to
make up the equipment of the modern eX-
pert stenographer, and one, master in his
profession, is a reporter of debates at the
Capitol. Speaking from standpoint eX-
cept that of personal observation, the ed
vocational work of the Y. NJ. c. A during
the past sixteen years has been quiet, I'M
ostentatious, but pre-eminently practical.
Its purpose was and is to help young men
in every way, physically, mentally and
morally. In the educational classes during
that period several thousand young men
have been taught useful things, and this in
sound environment, with a good gymna-
SUM on one hand and Bible class on the
other.
The educational features have seemed to
me to occupy middle place in the aSso-
cations activities. The Y. NJ. c. A. takes
weak chested, awkward boys and by a
half dozen years intelligent physical train
ing in gymnasium and field transforms
them into splendid specimens of physical

''My official connection with the associa-
ton began in 1876, when I was elected its
president Following that, I was a direc-
tor, then vice president, and later treas
urer Of the building fund up to 1894. Dur
ing these eighteen years the association ex-
perienced many vicissitudes. After having
occupied parts of building known as Lin
coin Hall for number of years, in which
1t had property rights the association was
compelled to give up its occupancy with
considerable pecuniary loss, and moved into
very humble quarters on street. Here
for some time the society was at rather a
low ebb, but its managers were not dis
couraged. 1 well remember, in the darkest
hours, the enthusiasm of A. s. Pratt, who.
in spite of his white hairs, was one of the
youngest of the young, and was always
ready with his hopeful views and his en-
couraging plans to raise the dropping spirits
of any who felt disheartened and under
the able management of Mr., T. A. Harding.
general secretary for several years, ar
rangements were soon made for the secur-
ing Of the property on New YORK avenue
which was so long occupied by the society,
and its rapid upward progress owed a great
deal to his skillful and earnest manage
ment.
The long presidency of the Rev. ]. G.
Ames 1 recall with great satisfaction His
influence upon the society was always good.
The broad and liberal views he took and his
earnest sympathy for young men endeared
him to all who were associated with him.
1 cannot undertake to name all those who
were prominent in the management of the
association during the years of my connec-
ton with it, but 1 may speak of the two

My first real acquaintance with the Y. NJ

during the civil war. Soon after the battle
of Bull Run I was on waiting orders in the
city of Washington. which at that time was
filled with a restless, changing population.

who had fastened to the capital, many
hoping to get remunerative employment,

seekers, nine out of every ten were disap-

largely attended.
AT that time women as well as men at
tended many of the devotional, as well as
the social. meetings of the association.
They rendered very acceptable and valua-

Mrs. Mulliken, Familiarity known as Moth

the Church of the Epiphany. Many of us
still recall, with pleasure, the meetings of
association workers at her home on her
recurring birthdays and also on New Year
days, when we were all SO Hospitality well

showed her interest in the association by
