Local members of the Young Mems
Institute are preparing for tri1fe

In the first place the order will

on foot to have the State Coun1
meet here at the same time.
] San Francisco is the birthplace
the Y. M. l., and the members e.
the order on the Pacific coast al
preparing an early. and fitting silve
jubilee celebration. The exercised
will be held there on Washington
birthday and will begin with a soil
emn high mass at St. Mary's Cathe-
dral. During the afternoon literary
exercises will be held at the Dream
land Rink, one of the largest and
best appointed halls in San Fran
cisco, and at night a grand ball will
be held in the same hall.
In just what manner the silver
jubilee will be celebrated in Louis
vile, and the exact date, have not
been determined, but it is a foregone
conclusion that Satolli, Trinity and
Mackin Councils will unite in one
grand celebration. Possibly the cele.
bration will be postponed until the
Supreme Council meets here in July
or August. To have the State Coun-
Gil the Supreme Council and the
jubilee celebration at one and the
same time would be cheaper and
more convenient than to have three
separate celebrations.
The Y. NJ. /. was founded in San
Francisco in 1888. Then as now its
motto, For God and Country" was
uppermost in the minds of the young
men who organized it. Five of the
six founders of the order are still
living and are prosperous and re-
spected citizens of San Francisco
Since its inception the orderX hos
spread over the Middle West and has
been a power for good wherever one
of it's councils is located. In Louis
vile the Y. NJ. l. in the last twenty
years has done a wonderful work
for young men. 1t has kept its Cath
Ole youths together, held them in
the straight and narrow path, and
at the same time furnished them
with legitimate amusements.
The Y. NJ. I. in fostering the youths
of our country has been the right

falls and snares of evil because they
were affiliated with this organi-
cation. When San Francisco was
devastated by earthquake and fire
two years ago the members of the
order all over the country responded
generously to appeals for aid, and
through the generosity of these
Catholic young men their brethren
in the stricken city were enabled to
relieve thousands of cases of

From now until midsummer
mittees from Mackin, Trinity d
Satolli will be busy planning for t.
proper entertainment of then
guests, the delegates to the Supreme
and State Councils, and the officers
of these councils desire to make the
one that will neveA

MaclIin Council has a committee.
york now planning a jubilee celel
ton for February, but it is
probable that this will interfere "
a more general celebration of
silver jubilee later in the year.
Macl1in Council owns its own 81
Iouse and is continually max

plendid corps of officers and bid
