BUILDING is GOING
TO Be ATTRACTIVE:
Features of Much Intere st
Planned
STILL HOPE TO RAISE $40, ooo
For Equipment of the =. NJ. c. a..
Building In Ame,icuS-Some Facts
of interest in Connection Herewith
Are Given the Public.

One of the best features ofthe Y.M.C.
A. is in the fact that whatever amount
in its building is in use night and day,
every day in the year, and its doors are
constantly open, giving the young men
an invitation to spend their spare time
amidst elevating surroundings.
The influence of good books or in
spring sermon is absolutely destroyed
by the jest or ridicuIe of one young
man to another.
And it is of Importance that we give
the Young men some place where
they can spend their leisure time
with good associations lest the noble
efforts of our pulpits and Sunday
school be brought to nought by the idle
words and vulgar conversation of the
cubstone or place of evil resort.
President Garfield once said "a
passing event, the choice of a book or
companion, stirring thought, a right
resolve or ithe association of an hour
may prove the turning point in our
lives
In view of these facts one sees the
importance of providing some place
where the young men can spend their
leisure hours.
But another characterize of the Y. NJ.
c. A. work which makes this Associa-
ton benefit to a city is the fact that
its rooms are so attractive.
With its gymnasium, shower baths,
social parlors, reading rooms, etc.,
many young men who would never be
attracted by library are drawn into
the midst of the ennobling influences
of it's Christian companionship by these
other features that appeal to the aver
age young man who is full of life.
1t is of importance that the good peo-
pie of Americas see that the Y. M. c.
A. building is large enough to contain
every helpful attraction that will lead
young men to spend their spare time
amidst its uplifting influences instead
OF loafing on the streets or in places
where morals and manhood are under
mined and destroyed.
And when we realize that there will
be a considerable shrinkage of the
amount raised because some of the
pledges are lin long time payments
which will have to be discounted, the
people should realize the tremendous
importance of raising the full sum. at
least $40, 900 for this work.
Americas will do for the young men
here as much as the average city in
fitting up Y. NJ. G. A. building.
