ri ANS LAID IN NEW YORK WHICH
WILL BE WATCHED WITH
INTEREST.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-At meet
ing here last night plans we're outlin-
ed and an attempt made to arouse pub
lie Interest in the proposed Chinese
Young Mems Christian Association,
which is expected to play m import
ant part in the movement for convert
ing the celestials of the metropolis to
Christianity. The AsIatlc colony in
Doyers, Mott and Pell streets Is daily
growing in population, owing to the
influx from the Pacific Coast, and the
missionaries are redoubllng their eff
forts to leaven the yellow mass with
the religion of the white devils.
The leaders in the movement for a
Chinese Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation believe that by catching them
young" the orientals can be weaned
from the religious observances of their
forefathers and become dOyout Chris
tians.
The founders of the new associa-
ton, the first of its kind in the United
States, will be the Rev. Hute Kin,
for many years a Chinese missionary
in this city, and Miss c. c. Hal. who
founded the first Chinese mission, in
connection with the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian church. thirty years ago,
and who has for number of years
been associate superintendent CT the
Chinese school at No. IA East Fifty
ninth street.
1t is the aim of the orlhinators Of
the idea to provide a building. to rent
one for the present and eventually
erect one for the express purpose of
providing a Christian home for both
Chinese men and women, with home
comforts and with all the educational
and athletic equipment which cEarac-
terizes the other associations in this
city.
Frederick Billings has been made
treasurer Of the Chinese Building
Fund. and already large sum of
money has been subscribed TO advance
the work. 1t is desired % raise at
least $4,000 at present.
Associated with Mr. Billings on this
committee are DR.. A. Eugene Austin,
an enthusiastic supporter Of Chinese
missionary work in the city; Charles
Darlington, brother of Heal Com
missioner Darlington: William Law
renee Meyers and many others. 1t is
said that as soon as this new enter
prise is started Andrew Carnegie has
promised to present the association
with library of both English and
Chinese books suitable for the needs
OF the AngIo-Chinese student IN this
country.
When the association building is
opened the Rev. Hute Kin, and his
American wife will be Installed as
house father and mother. In the old
brick house in West Ninth street, for
merly occupied by the Imperial Chi
nese Consulate, the Rev. and Mrs. Kin
have conducted both secular and relig
ious schools for many years, beside
making it the center of the socia! life
