Rev. J. a. Hobbs will address
the Mems Meeting Sunday after-
noon at 4 o'clock. All men are
urged to be present. An eIetric
fan has been placed in the room to
lcool the atmosphere.
The proposed bicycle tour to
Florida will afford our members
| a splendid opportunity to spend
their vacations in a profitable and
congeniRl way. The trip will be
through the country, via Summit,
Hattiesburg. Mobile, Flomaton
and Pensacola, Florida, also visit
ing the U. s. Navy Yard, east of
Pensacola. 1t may be a hard trip,
but just think Of the good times,
peaches, watermelons, ect., along
the way. Grasp this opportunity.
Rent, borrow or buy q bicycle.
This is a chance that doesn't come
to you every day. The cost will
be very little. See the secretary
about it now. Don't miss this
outing. Trip will not be under
taken until a party of six is made
up.
Our boys department now has
26 members and they are still
coming. Hurrah for the coming
menl
w. H. Weathersby, w. M.
Lacy, Charlie Ryals and Thos.
Smith have joined our ranks. If
you want good associates you can
find them in our rooms. The Y.
M. g. A. is a good place to spend
your leisure hours.
The help Of. God is the only
hope Of man. =
The Juniors are planning to 90
to Utica to play ball July the 4th,7
if a game can be arranged that
soon.
You can never really learn
where you do not love. =
| We have back numbers Of the
popular magazines which we will
sell cheap.
'IfGod is testing you, you may
know He does not detest you. !"
"A Y. M. G. A. to prosper, must
have the financial support and
hearty cooperation of Christian
people. It may be many months
or years, perhaps not until the
morning breaks and the shadows
fee away ere we shall realize
what this organization has meant
Ito this city and its young men and
boys. 1t has elevated the minds
of men, ennobled their lives and
lead them into the narrow path of
righteousness, and brought them
closer to God. We may not be
able now to see all of the results
#of the work that have been accom-
|plished, but somewhere, sometime
/ in this life or in the other, the
actual results will be brought be-
fore us in their immensity, grand
eur and beauty. If our town
were deprived Of the association,
where would the young men that
frequent oul rooms spend their
leisure hours, do you knoW9
Christians, know your duty, and
rally round the secretary in his
efforts TO save the young men of
Brookhayen. If one life is up
lifted through the instrumentality
of this association, is not the
amount Of your subscription a
splendid Investment. In our
struggle for riches let us not for
get that there is another life to 1
live beyond, and we need to lay
up treasures there.
!" Twill not be long, our journey
here,
Each broken sigh and falling tear,
Will soon be gone and all will be
A cloudless sky, a waveIess sea.
We have a large bag Of clothes
which the gypsy boys left at the
various camps, please call and
identity them.

The great need OF the Goldfield dis
