ognizes no relation between work done and

do the least work are the best paid. That

sons who hold livings within that square
mile of the metropolis which is officially
known as the city of London and is ruled
over by the lord mayor. Within this linn
tied area, which is devoted solely to bust
ness, are crowded forty-seven picturesque
old churches. The incomes of their rectors

the most part a melancholy array OF empty

LONDON, October 2S.-An important mis-

by the Church Missionary Society. The

An interesting fact in connection with this
convention is that Notwithstanding the agi-
tation throughout the country of the slavery
and other sectional questions the presi-
dent of the convention was a southern man,
a native and resident of New Orleans. 1t
is needless to say, however, that there was
no discussion of these~puestions.
The Washington association, though
struggling in It's early days against heavy
odds not the least of them financial yet
has been very fortunate in that 1t has al
ways had necessary place IN the citys
social development. The transient charac-
ter of department life is peculiar, to Wash
ington, and a mems association which
stands for high purposes and ideals has
ever been essential and well received.
The seed from which has sprung the larg-
est and best mems club in the world was
planted in the heart of a young English
man. George Williams who, coming to Lon
don in 1871 at the age of twenty, was so
Impressed by the conditions which sur
rounded the young men of his own class,
that he determined to exert, in his limited
sphere an uplifting influence which would
sensibly touch the lives of those with whom
he came into daily contact Living rooms

Young Mems Christian Association City of Washington Has
an Interesting Record.

Probably few of the people who are just
now reading of the building of the
Young Mems Christian Association and ad-
mring the fine organization know anything
of it's unpretentious start in this city fifty
four years ago. and still less Of the in
ception of the Idea in Lonuon seven years
before, or even know the name of the
founder.
The Y. NJ. c. A. idea was a new one in
this country when the Boston association
was formed December %, 1851. although
there at that time a young mems or
ganzation in Cincinnati of a somewhat
similar nature, but 1t soon merged into the
Y. NJ. c. A.
The Association idea" for seven years
had been spreading over England and
America, taking root in individual hearts.
and finding favor in small isolated com
munties. No effort. however. was made
to connect the various societies although
each used the name Young Mems Chris
ton Association" and all had the same con-
stitution, many of them copying verbatim
the constitution of some earlier associa ton.
Washington sometimes claims to have had
the second association in this country, and
third on the continent, Montreal having
preceded Boston by n few days; but this is
probably not the case, about seven cit
les formed associations within few days
of each other.
1t is due, however, to the inspiration and
executive ability of a Washington man
that the Y NJ c. A. Is a united factor of
the worlds civilization today. When the
rector of Trinity Episcopai~Church of this
city, Rev. c. NJ Butler, became imbued
with the conviction that Washington should
emulate the example of Montreal and Bos-
ton and organize a society similar to theirs
he prevailed upon William c. Langdon
member of his parish to undertake its ac
tive work. knowing Mr.. Langdon's forceful
nature. Through their united efforts Until
alive steps were taken and several young
men met in Masonic Hall, June 10. 1852,
for. the purpose of organizing the Washing
ton Y. NJ. G. A, of which Mr.. Langdon was
made corresponding secretary. His subse-
quent observations and travels In nearby
cities soon disclosed to Lin the great pos
sibilities of a union of associations of
the country. and III a speech at the first
convention in Buffalo in 1854 he so con-
vincingly urged such union that favorable
action was taken and the Y. NJ. c. AS of
America appointed convention committee.
The majority of the members of this com
mittee resided in this city. which was made
committee headquarters. All of the cities
where associations existed were represented
at the convention, except New York and
Brooklyn. These were opposed to the
complications and expense incident to an
amalgamation, asserting that they did not
believe the purposes of the institution would
be at all furthered thereby. Correspond
ence with foreign associations was also be-
gun through Mr.. Langdon's efforts.
year later the rest of the Y. M. c. A.
world ratified the action of the Buffalo
convention by a world union in Paris. when
a brief constitution or declaration was sub
scribed to by ali the then existing socie-
ties.
