and the influence of the employees of firms
in London became quite marked. Theirs
was perhaps the first attempt in England
to protect the interests of shop assistants,
and out Or that early movement has
grown the great Shop Assistants Union
OF today.
As TO the actual founding of the Young

came into being at meeting held June u,
1914, with capital-coliected on the spot

liams and his friends having scarcely
sufficient money even to pay for postage
and stationery. However. the dominating
personality OF George Williams carried
everything before ii, and the 1.M.C-A.
was launched in spite of all difficulties.
One noteworthy fact in connection with
Sir George Williams was that he never
allowed his fervor for the success of his
ethical project to interfere with strict
business; and he worked SO industrlous1y
for his employers that before many years
had elapsed he had won his way to
partnership In the firm. In less than ten
years after it's foundation, the \ M. Ca.

founder refused to permit it to be utilized
in this fashion. and this wisdom of his
decision was proved in after years. Many
attempts were made by various parties
to break" the association, both 1inan-
cially and in other directions, but the per-
sopality of Sir George was too strong to
be borne down, and he saved the YIN. c. A.
many times both from financial and in
ternal failure.
After capturing London and then the
rest of England. the Y MICA. idea was
taken up in the United States, and in 1876
Sir George Williams visited that country,
and was received with great demonstra-

come. that our sweetest experiences are

again live 1t over exactly in the minutest
particulars. Good as the past may have
