2 has come to the conclusion that the
superiority Of -omen in so many European
countries is a fact which in the first place
is in no sense an evil, and in the second
place is rapidly disappearing.
In another twenty years, she believes,
the tide will begin to turn the other way
and the men will be in the majority even
in such countries as England and Ger
many, where at the present time women
immensely predominant. Some of her
statistics are most interesting. In Lux
emborrg, for example, in 1890 there were
LOOP women for every 1000 men. There
are now only 800. In Australia the pro-
portion has been reduced in the same time

in Sweden from LOGS to l.049, in Germany

GROWTH OF Y. N. c, A,
Its WORK IN PROGRESS THE
WORLD OVER.
Organization Founded in London by
Two Clerks-Now Has Over Half
a Million Members-Gym-
nasium Feature.

SlXty-one years ago two clerks in Lon
don started the work which is now
grown to such vast dimensions. To-day
the Young Mems Christian association
numbers 100000 members
The founder of the association was
Sir George Williams, the ''Sir" con-
ferred by Queen Victoria in recognition
of this service to humanity. Sixty-one
years ago George Williams, with fel-
low clerk. was crossing Blackfriars
bridge in London when the conversation
turned on the need of brotherly effort
AT this time the life of clerk was a very
hard one; the hours long. the work Sc
we're, the pay such that generally 10 or
Il young men had to herd together in
one room. The Young Mems Chris
ian association was formed that
some small fraction of social life
might fall to the clerk as we'll
IS that he might come under the inf1u-
ehce OF religious teaching. Its influence
became most powerful. employers had
their eyes opened to the fact that it was
good policy to let the men have time for
recreation; the condition of the clerk
Improved.
Speaking of the growth of the work,
very Interesting article in the New
York Tribune says: AT the present
time this organization is taking into it's
fold not London clerks alone. but the
members of every class and caste. of
every trade and profession, and of every
race. It's members who are students
would populate city of 5000 inhabit-
ants. It's railroad men would form an
army $4,000 strong. It's clerks and me-
chanics, soldiers and sailors would form
a procession of 100000 men, which,
marching six abreast in close formation.
would stretch over 26 miles. 1t has also
among its members 5000 negro laborcrs
in the southern statcs''
Although the Y. NJ G. A. had it's origin
in England it has grown to it's greatest
strength in this country. Four-sevenths
of the members are to be found in the
United States. and seven-eighths of the
