VIII Try Their Luck at Reno.
I'VE hope to mark distinct epoch in
Christian history he said to me, in
giving a quick outline of the campaign
| which he helped to originate and is to
manage. Ten church brotherhoods, the
Gideons. composed of commercial travel
ers, and the International Sunday School
Association have Joined the Young Mems
Christian Association in a movement that
is to be wide as the continent and is to
reach from the Mexican frontier to Hud-
son Bay. We plan to hold meetings in
seventy-siX American and fourteen Cana
dian cities-in Reno, New, among the
rest. And Reno. with its colonies of
prize fighters and conjugal misfits and
their attendants. needs the light. The in
ternational committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, Of which 1
am the secretary, suggested the move

boys for years-how to approach them.
how to get them concerned in religion and
how to influence them to join some Chris
tian church. Now we desire to give our
knowledge to all the denominations doing
work in North America.
In September Of this year four teams
of specialists, five men to the team,
will begin meetings In four cities. Each
Of the meetings will last for eight days.
We purpose to give every church. broth
erhood, Sunday school and Young Mems
Christian Association in the United
States and Canada a practical and ef-
fective scheme OF effvrt FOR men and
boys-a scheme that We have developed
and that has proved it's workability when
ever tried. Our object Is to win to
Christ and the church the largest pos
sible number Of men and boys by May !,
1912. and to emphasize the Christian re-
ligion as being the one and only hope of
the world. There are s.OOo. coo more wom-
en- and girls in the churches Of North
America than there are men and boys.
ITO find and properly relate to the
church these missing 100000 OF North
American manhood We have said, is an
undertaking for men,

with eyangelists. In every city there will
also be committee OF 100 prominent lay
men and preachers. They win prepare
for the meetings and viii continue the
work after the experts have gone else

men OF the two countries win serve on
these committees.
