affairs. In some Of the most conspicuous
bank failures IN the past the fact has
been disclosed that the insolvency Of the
component members Of the. allied insti-
tutions we're long concealed by shifting
the assets between the institutions TO
meet the exigences Of an examination Of

not disclosed until a joint examination

Some time ago Mr.. Murray sent to the
examiners letters in which he inquired

citation Denounced by New

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Thoroughly
aroused over the attack on the Young
Mems Christian Association made by
T. A. Baker az a recent address in
Spokane IN which he is widely quoted
as characterizing the organization as
one (which never should have existed"
local officials and members of the As
ISOLATION backing their statements by
records and figures. are loud in their
denunciatiun of his remarks.
Local officials Of the y NJ. c. a.
are unable TO account for the remarks
Of Mr.. Baker who is best known
through his work as national super
intendent Of the Anti-Saloon League
Of America.
The specific remarks which have
aroused the greatest amount of indig-
nation here are those I'm which the
Rev. p. A. Baker is quoted as follows:
"The Y. NJ. c. A. Is an Institution
which ought never 70 have existed. The
church should have met the need
which is now being met by the Y NJ
C. A. Of the world The money which
is going into the. association work
should have passed through the church
and been dispensed through It where
Il would do as much and more good.

Many times Il is one Of graft and greed
IN which money from men not Chris
tians is solicited TO make II go. and In
which such men often have a hand.
can almost say that the present day
associations are not religious and are
growing less religious
In answer 20 these startling charges
are the statements Of local r. M. c. A.
workers who point to the records as

Z have replied 60 just one attack Of tn
kind. and the best answer to Mr.. Ba
kers statements is contained IN III,
figures which show that between 190l
and 1908 the number of associations IN
the United States increased from 1878
\
members from 255.472 to 446.032. or IA
per cent; the number of buildings from
$50 to $50 or rs per cent. At the same
time the value Of Association prop
erty Increased III per cent. and the
current expenses 1856 per cent. That is
the material side. Now for some Of
the specific religious features. The
number of laymen on religious work
committees has increased 2s6 per cent.
the amount spent for local religious
work $50 per cent; the number of Bi-
bic classes 31S per cent; the num-
Der Of boys and men enrolled in them.
SCI per cent. and the total attendance
41S per cent. The attendance at re-
ligious meetings Of all kinds has increas
ed 1S4 per cent, the number Of pro-

!. the number becoming members OF

by EDWIN A..NYE,

WHAT THE CITY DOES.
England is teaching the nations by
horrld example that they cannot af-
ford to neglect the physical welfare Of
their people.
In 1850 the lowest standard for Brit
ish infantry was five feet six inches.
During the Boer war. IN order to oil
up the ranks, Il was further lowered to
five feet.
Which tells a sad story OF physical
decline.
Or. TO put II in another way; During
the Boer war 80 per cent of the Eng
llsh troops fell below the minimum
standard OF cnest measurement aud 75
per cent OF them fell below the min
imum weight required.
Put I'm terms OF everyday speech.
that means that the English common
people. once a stout yeomanry that
was the pride OF Britain. has degen-
Grated physically and is rapidly becom-
