Interesting History of Local Beginning of the Asso-
ciation-One of First in This Country.

More than fifty years ago the Young
Mems Christian Association of the city of
Washington was organized. The man
who read in London newspaper an ac-
count of the association there and who
thought such an association should be
organized in Washington. Rev. Thomas
Duncan. is still living and an honored
guest at the international convention now
being held here. The two young men who
co-operated with him in taking the first
steps. William J. Rhees and William
Chauncey Langdon. have both passed on
to their reward, the first named during
the past year. the other twelve years ago.
The Washington association was one of
the first six Young Mems Christian AS
sociations to be organized in this country.
and has had an interesting career. Early
in the history of the movement in North
America the Washington association took
the initiative through William Chauncey
Langdon, in the calling of a convention of
of all the associations.
which was held in Buffalo in 1854.
William Chauncey Langdon, who was
one of the signers of the call for the Buff
falo convention. was the pioneer of fed
Grated effort between the associations of
North American, and not only did he
work in this behalf here, but also went
to Europe in 1857 to assist in creating a
tie of fellowship with the associations
there He entered the Episcopal minis
try in 1858 and served in various parishes

A THANKSGIVING
FREE-WILL OFFERING

The Protestant Episcopal parish of the
Ascension will give harvest home next
Wednesday. when free-will offerings of
fruits, vegetables, etc, as well as money
will be received as thank-offerings to be
given to the Bell Home for Little Chill
dren.
Some years ago Mr.. Melville Bell gave a
piece of ground at Colonial Beach, West
moreland county, Va, wherein was grad
ually erected frame structure to ac-
commodate some sixty children during the
summer. Urgent need for a winter home
for some of these children. who knew no
home save the one at Colonial Beach,
evoked a gift. and an old house in Ana
costa was purchased. The storms of Win
ter now threaten to throw this down
about the children huddled therein. 1t is
the wish and aim of the women who pray
and labor for this work that other friends
may arise to give them the absolutely
essential building for their little charges
now in the home and others DANGEROUSLY
battering at the door.

AN EXTRAORDINARY THANKSGIVING.

The conventional Thanksgiv-
ing, with its turkey. cranberry
sauce and other hxings, is a
mighty good thing in itself, but it
has come to be such a familiar in
stitution that it becomes too often
routine matter and we fail to
impart to it the spice and zest
that come now and then through
variation of the program. Did
you ever think, for example, OF
foregoing the pleasure that might
come from assembling all your
kindred under your roof and sub
stituting instead a gathering of
folk not quite on your social
plane, the people whose homes
are cherries and whose pleasures
few, or the altogether homeless
young men and young women
who live in hall bedrooms of
dreary boarding houses? ooh, but
Thanksgiving is home festival
and you don't want to practice
socialism at such a time" Well, I
wouldn't be too exacting, but l
seem to recall scriptural injunc-
ton about ones procedure when
one makes a feast, namely, not to
invite your rich friends and neigh
bors, who can return your hospi-
tality, but to bid the poor and the
lame and the halt and the blind,
from whom you can expect no
corresponding entertainment.
But if this is counsel of per-
lection, and ordinary people can't
be expected to reconstruct their
programs on one of the g!addest
days of the year, let me put a
good word for one plate at the
table, at least, that shall represent
the stranger, the forlorn person,
the overlooked seamstress, the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-11-24
or this the Lord be praised.

for this the Lord be praised.
And maybe you can muster up
philosophy and religion enough
to be grateful for even what has
come to you in the way of losses
and crosses. 1T was the best
thing that could have happened
to me" said a man the other day
recounting in my hearing a long
prostrating illness, II revolted at
it when it came, but ere it was
over I found myself deeply thank
full. 1t gave me time to reflect
on my life, to see the real value
of the things the world offers me,
and for the lessons that l learned.
I wouldn't take today thousands
of dollars" That is often the case
with those who know how to
transmute their reverses and
troubles into the gold of charac-
ter.
And are not we willing to go
one step forward and be thankful
for other persons success? That,
indeed, is the height of altruism,
to be genuinely glad that some
one else has hit the target which
you missed, has done the work
at which you fumbled, has
climbed the ladder several rounds
higher than you have been able
to ascend. If we can once expel
from our breasts envy and the
deep-rooted desire for personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, we shall be truly
thankful to note the splendid Sue
cesses of others so far as they de-
serve them.
Ism t this an out-of-the-ordi-
nary Thanksgiving? But if we
could attain unto it, we might
know deeper thankfulness than
any ever before realized.

character of your feast materially.
You may find before the merry
afternoon is over that your day
is all the brighter because you
have shared its joy with those to
whom JOY is a rare visitor.
And speaking of unconvention-

little deeper into the personal life
and thank the Lord for some of
the things that. do not usuaully
appear in your catalogue of
mercies, Of course, if you are
anything of a gentleman, you
thank him for health and appetite,
for prosperity and success, for
friends and congenial work, for
the blessings of life in this, the
best nation Of the world; in this,
the best century the world has
ever seen. But are there not some
other things that might touch the
spring of gratitude, if you would
make Thanksgiving something
more than a time of overeating
and merrymaking?
Think of your exemptions from
calamlties and trying experiences.
Just why your life has been
spared when another who toiled
by your side has been cut down,
or why your children gather
about you in Astounding health

that of many about him without
realizing that he escapes a great

one thought being that the minister had
too long been burdened with the financial

for the laymen to assume the responsl.

wholly of ministers. and they were prac-
teal unit in declaring that the help of the
iaymen would open greater avenues Ior
promotion of the material welfare OF the
church. A committee was named 10 Drlng
the matter before all th2 congregations.
Here was more leaven in the dlrectlon
that the Episcopalians and Presbyterians
and Baptists had pointed out.
The Methodists of Texas and Iennes-
see have taken steps in the same nne.
number of wealthy men in the Holston
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South have agreed to contribute
literally to advance every branch OF mis-
sion work at home and abroad. A finan-
cial agent will be appointed to convass
the section carefully, but the permanent
forward movement is not to be ORGANIZED
until next summer. The northwest Texas
Methodist conference proposes to JOIN
with others OF send a commission of ffty
business men to learn the conditions OF
the foreign field.
The Church of England Mems Society
has long been d power in the religious
life of that country. But even that Or
ganization has just begun to feel its
strength. Sixty or seventy years ago
there was no organized society in the
church for the banding together of men
who were keen about the religious life.
The Archbishop of Canterbury lays the
success of the Episcopal Church to these
mems bands. Recently he said he be-
iieved that if the Methodist Church in
England had had such organic atoms
when that movement started there would
have been hundreds of thousands in the
denomination today.
The situation the country over is seri-
Gus, but not hopeless. The public has be
gun to see what will be demanded of it.
Men outside of the professionally religious
life admit the need of a readjustm ent
and a strengthening of the moral and
church forces. Representative business
and professional men who have not in the
past measured up to their full privilega
in the moral service OF society are now re-
spending in generous and noble manner
fully realizing the tremendous problems
the moral and religious forces are facing
Fraternal relations between the denoml-
nations themselves are increasing. The
old animosities are disappearing. Men
are coming to understand the things that
are held in common. They are showing a
profound belief now that the main BUSH
ness of the world is to establish right
eousness and peace and happiness or
earth. and, no matter what methods may
be taken or under what name, it is all
the same
The laymen's movement fostered by the
Episcopalians and seen in all its strength
here in the gathering of the great Pres
byterian Brotherhood. which ranks we'll
up with the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,
has just been put into full swing. Be-
fore another year has passed it will be
heard of in every quarter. in nearly every
church and will number it's supporters
by millions instead of by thousands.
