From this small beginning the work

met with marked success, and during
the Russo-Japanese war did such re-

army that it has won the unqualified
endorsement and financial support OF

A more recent development of the
work has been that for boys, and the
last report SHOWS 622 boys depart

spending $4,000 for educational work
among them, having 1900 boys on
committees and 22,330 in Bible Sturdy

The Association is in no way rival
Of the church, but is in the truest
sense the church at work in the world
and with the earnestness with which
it lives up to this standard will it
ever succeed in leading young men
and boys to lives of service.

Velous growth in q little over fifty
years. Is a monument to the influence
OF an idea which has its beginning in
the heart and mind of one man, in a
desire 10 help his fellows TO better
and higher plane of living.
Sir George Williams, the founder
Of the movement, arrived in the city
of London, England, as a young man,
in the year 1910, to take up his work
as a CLERK In large dry goods house,
where position had been secured for
aim by his brother.
London was then, as now, full or
temptations. and there were no places
other than saloons and like resorts
where foung man could spend his
evenings.
M.oral and social conditions under
which young men were thrown togeth-
er were much worse than in our own
day. The employees in large business
houses lived for the most part in the
rooms over the stores, and young
nuen and old men, good and bad, were
thrown together in close companion
ship with the inevitable result.
A writer in 1897 said: "As soon
as a young man was introduced into
London, he found in the immense ma
5ority OF instances that even lawful
business itself was conducted in an
Enlawful manner. The exposure to
evil outside OF business is extreme. :"
The hrst Young Mems Christian
Association report, in 1914, declared.
s-untu recently the young men engag-
ed in the pursuits Of business were
totally neglected" At this time 1t is
estimated that there were $4,000
young men in London
Coming from Cody home and
with the habits of Christian training

snstead OF being led away by the
many temptations which surrounded
hi-n, tried to devise a way which would
help mis- fellows to a better, and high
ct plane of living.
Bible Class the Beginning.
Knowing the power OF an ideal in
helping young men to better things
and being an earnest Christian, he,
together with fellow clerk Ike him,
organized a Bible class. This met
with a hearty response and soon q
missionary society was formed, and
later a literary society. The idea was
that any change must come through
the spiritual side OF the man, and the
work must be from the inside, out
ward.
The room in which the class was
held became soon too small and VIII
Hams went to the head Of the firm
and asked for the use OF large room.

The gentleman was not a religious
man in any sense, but the earnest
ness of the young fellow impressed
him and the room was granted. Not
very long after this the proprietor
himself became Christian. He was a
man of large wealth and influence
and became hearty supporter OF the
movement which he saw was meeting
great need In his own place of bus
mess and he talked with other men
about 1T. Very soon it was neces-
sary again to find larger quarters. II
was now 1914 and ON the evening of
June 9th, 12 young men met in the
upper room Of WEliamS's place Of

Of the work among all young men in
the city Of London The underlying
principle of the work was THAT the
duty OF the members should be to ex-
ert Christian influence in the sphere
OF their daily calling" The fourth
annual report says that the members
of the association have in their daily
callings Influenced over 5000 young
men,
The next step was the establish
ment Of a popular lecture course
which was a success from the start.
Leading ministers of all denonina-
tons statesmen. university profess
ors, all appeared in this course, which
became the lecture platform of Lon
don. As many as 1,400 people a night
attended many Of the lectures, and
soon prominent men of the day among
whom was Lord Snaftesbury, became
identified with the movement, which
began to attract attention all over the
United Kingdom and resulted in the
organization OF associations in other
cities.
The Work In America
In 1851 Columbia University stud
emit who was attending Edinburgh I'm
iversity, visited London and came in
touch with the work Of the associa-
ton, which % impressed him that he
wrote q hong letter describing it to
the Whtchlnan and Reflector of Bos-
ton, the organ Of the Baptist denomi-
nation. This published letter aroused
the interest Of J. " Sullivan, retired
sea captain, who from his own youth
full experience could appreciate the
condition of the young men away
from home in large cities, and he call
ed a meeting of influential men in
his church which resulted in the
founding at Boston of the first Unit
ed States Young Mems Cnristian AS
sociation. Another was founded in
Montreal this same year.

Flying Fish.


At one time it. was widely credited
that dying fish possessed the power to
accelerate their passage through the
air by tapping their ''wings," as their
enormously elongated pectoral Ems are
sometimes called. Had this been prov
ed these fish would have actually shar-
ed with bats, birds and insects pow

are new agreed that the motion Of the
6ns sometimes seen when the Ssh

ton OF its swimming movement and I'm
no way aids the passage OF the fshI
through the air. The method of the
fsh's fight is this: 1t rushes through
the water at high speed, hurls itself
into the atmosphere and spreading its
