The time for the big Young Mems Chris
tian association mass meeting draws near,
and the nearer It draws, the more interest
there is manifested in this grand move
The Willingness on the part of the people
TO lend a helping hand toward boosting
the project has been source of a great
rnittee. The subject is becoming an all
important one, and Is causing much COM
ment In homes. shop and street. which
is the best possible way to advertise. 1t
is hoped that every person In Council
Bluffs both young and old, who know
of the movement, will take 1t up and
help to toss this great subject from tongue
TO tongue until no man can say: 81 did
not know of such movement. Every,
he can in the advertising way and in a
financial way, when the time comes and
In due time, Council Bluffs will be the
pnssessor of an institution 10 which her
people can point with pride for years to
come.
Young Mems Christian association, never
spoke more truly than when he said:
There is no ally ina g good gover ngGnI1
more helpful In keeping young men from
wickedness. nothing that does more to help
this country on to bright destiny than
dollar you invest in it will return to you
many times II is a great deal better to
invest a dollar in this institution thap TO
spend the money for employing another
policeman to arrest evil doors, or another
Judge TO punish them"
And right here are referred to that part
of Mr.. Emmett Tinley's address before the
Commercial club, where he said with refer
ence to the Young Mems Christian asso-
vocacy of that which will contribute &c
our municipal upbuilding. we have over
looked one of the most important factors
that of providing for the character build
ing of our young men,"
Is not this true? Let us not be guilty
td this neglect any longer, but unite oui
forces and give to the boy and young mar
foundation on which to build his char
aeter. and let that foundation be Younl
Mems Christian association and beautiful
building for its home.
