Y. NJ. c. A. MEETINGS.

Series of the Season Will Begin at
 the Jacques Tomorrow.
 The Waterbury Young Mems Chris tian association will begin its series of meetings for the new season to-mor- row afternoon, December 6. The meet ings will be held, as in former years, at the Jacques opera house at 4 0 clock.
 A good list of speakers has been se- cured by the local association and no pains will he spared to make the ser vices attractive and beneficial to Water bury men. z
 The association has published neat folder announcing the entire program of dates and speakers for two months, namely, December and January. Be sides excellent addresses from out of town speakers. and two local clergy men, there will be cultivated vocal music and a. trained orchestra for all Of the gatherings. The high character and tone of former seasons will be maintained in every respect, and all men who may avail themselves of the opportunity of attending will doubtless feel we'll repaid for the effort.
 The first speaker is a man of na- tional rep1lte and rare genius. He has DCGA DSlCIte t1G RAn14@ 4N% AA1GrAAJ JNSAAs as a writer and lecturer, and is wide 1y known as ssthe Rams Horn Man" Dr Elijah Powell Brown of Indianapo- lis, Ind, is this well known man re- farred to. He is brilliant speaker and forceful thinker. He is called 1the Rams Horn Man" because he was the originator and founder of a. great non-sectarian religious newspaper Of that name. This paper quickly became famous, and remained so during all the years of his connection with t. In. deed. it was so unique original and striking. in appearance and con tents that nobody could see it once without wanting to see 1t again. It was paper that was made to read, and II was read by all kinds Of people, for tll- stead of discussing how to reach the masses it went atsit and did it.. 1t was out of the common in appearance that it could not be. taken up for the first time and put down without careful ex- animation
 Many experiments were made to find out whether the Rams Horn really did reach the masses, and all who tried them were soon convinced that it did. It was never tranapled under foot, but was always taken up and read. One man took 2 800 copies per week for years and exposed them for gratuitous distribution in public places in large cities, and there was never time when every copy was not eagerly car ried off. A merchant in the south put a copy Of the Rams Horn into every house in his county, simply because he wanted to do some missionary work that he knew would not be disappoint- ing.
 MT Brown called his paper the Rams Horn because he wanted a name that was s0riptural, expressive and full of surprising power A name that would be so unusual that every reader would lively wonder why it had been chosen. and yet so appro- priate that it's fitness would be ac- knowledged and thus produce a last ing impression. He wanted a name that would stand for what he was try ing to accomn1i$h. A name that would mean the opnoeite of airnless conven- tionalitv and polished weakness. A name that would have in it the thought of rugged strenofh, faith in God a"d definite exDectat'on Of doing some thing. And this is why the paper was called the Rams Horn.
 The question: i~ oftAn asked t'D~ns he talk as he writes?" In talkine to the people face to face. MT Brown fol lows the same plan that he did in his paner. He has something to say that has thought fn it. and says it in way that has atto~tion.
