Y. N. {. A. Address BY
Sec. J. R. Thompson

a large audience gathered In the
Duncan opera house last night TO par
liclpato In the meeting held under the
auspices OF the Young Mems Chris
'ian association, The meeting was
opened al s o'clock by Il short devo.
lional and praise service.
A feature OF the meeting was the
excellent special music rendered by
the orchestra ana choir ,and the
hearty general singing led by the
chorus.
After half hour Of song and short
devotional exercises the speaker OF
the evening, Field Secretary j. r.
Thompson, was introduced by the
president Of the association, Jas. G..
McNary. In presenting the speaker,
the president referred to the very ef.
fective help which had been rendered
the local board by the half dozen sec.
retaries who had visited Las Vegas
during the progressN of the building
canvass here. He stated that but for
this assistance the work would have
never been carried successfully to the
present stage.
Mr.. Thompson proved to be very
energetic and interesting speaker, and
from his first sentence to his last, he
held the closest attention Of his audi.
ence He said in opening: "The
problem of the present day is the
problem of the city; and the problem
Of the city is the problem Of the young
man. Fifteen years ago the cities
contained eight out of every one hun
dred of population in this country.
To-day they contain forty-seven out
of every one hundred. Why does this
great tide turn toward the cities in
every increasing proportion?
For two reasons The quest of
money and of pleasure are the two
considerations which draw the popu.
lation toward the city"
The speaker then proceeded to show
vividly how large a proportion of city
population is composed of young men.
How they fill the factories and the Of
fees and form the sinews of the in
dustrial and commercial world.
After illustrating by examples de-
rived from personal observation the
unhappy ending of many promising
young mans career, the speaker made
all eloquent plea for the highest devel
opment by the young man of his phys
ical, social, mental and spiritual ma
lures. He showed how the Young
Mems Christian association offers the
young man the opportunities along all
these different lines and is dedicated
to the development of the highest and
worthiest in mankind.
In conclusion, the speaker referred
to the generous support which had
been given the movement In Las We.
gas and the fact that the community
would soon have modern. and well
appointed home for the young men.
He warmly commended the enterprise
which had made this possible and
and promised those who had contrib.
uted of their time and means that
they would never have occasion to re-
gret either.
The address of Mr.. Thompson was
a plain. straightforward talk; but it
was practical in the extreme, abound
ing in effective illustrations and was
declared by many to be the best ad-
dress of the many delivered before
the local association.
1t will have the effect of stimulat-
ing those already interested in the
work of the association and will un-
doubtedly win new friends for the
work among those present last night.
