F, and he then went back to the farm to work. Not seeming adapted to farm work his father took him to Bridgewater. At the age of sixteen there he was leaving home and go- ing out into the world to work his own way. How many of our young men today in like manner go out into the world
 He entered Bridgewater a careless, thoughtless, young man. Tn Brideg- water he was converted and then pur- posed to work wholly for others. When he was nineteen and his trade was finished, he was sent to London. In the establishment where he was employ ed there were 150 young men, and all lived in the building where employed. The thought came to him, Why can we not create some institu- ton that will pplift young men? This young man was George Williams. who. with eleven other young men, founded the Young Mems Christian associa- tion
 How the Work Began.
 They rented quarters at 50 cents per week. Today the association in this country has buildings valued at over $66, 1000, ,000.
 First Association in Boston.
 The first organization in this coun- try was formed in Boston and then
 
 have 2,500 men on the secretariaI force of our associations in this land. The association organizes the time of men, the best and busiest in the cemmuni- ty. The young men respond to it and develop latent powers of character and service. Its investments are human, it's dividends are divine.
 Last year $3s5,00Q was given by rail- road companies for the support of this work among their men.
 Preventive Work.
 The work Of the association is a preventive work Horace Mann once said, One former is worth hum dred reformers" Mir Roosevelt says: Tt pays better to support a secretary of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton in a community than to pay the salary of a policeman
 Why is the Young Mems Christian association not f-supporting If 1t were, the fee would be so much that the average young man could not get this advantage. To be self supporting would limit the usefulness, and linn ited number would secure the benefits. There must be paid by others $259 in Yale for every student there.
 Dormitories Essential.
 | suppose if you would go into the mills of Willimantic and study those that turn out the best work, you will find that it is largely because they have the best equipment. Now, if the Young Mems Christian association in Willlmantic is to turn out the best work it. too, must have 8 suitable equipment and l would advocate here above everything else, dormitories. The Fall River Achievement.
 I wish some of you had been in Fall River when we raised S55,000 in eight l days to improve our building. We had 200 men organized for this great work of civic righteousness. At the close of Mir. GaInmon's ad- dress, the patsor, Rev. L. M. F9ocken said: It is my most earnest hope anc prayer that before another year has passed Willimantic may have build ing for it's young men of which Wili- i mantle may be proud.
