With the fate Of the local branch OF
the Young Mems Christian association
hanging in the balance for lack OF
funds to carry on the work. all the
Protestant churches Of the city yester-
day united in an effort to stimulate their
Pensioners TO renewed interest in the
work Of the boy problem.
In the First Presbyterian church tho
morning lecture was delivered by Henry
Keiser. manager Of ~. book department
of BENEFITS store in Omaha. Mr. Keiser
dwelt on the duty owed to the boy by
the elders of the community. His speech
was replete with the practical conclusions
that come to those only who have delved
into the practical side Of a subject as
well as in the theoretical side of a sub
ject. Mr.. Keiser pleaded for more in
terest on the part of the elders in the
boy, his recreations, duties. companions
and ideals.
The tone Of the service in all the other
churches was similar to that in the
First Presbyterian The needs of the To-
cal branch of the Young Mems Christian
association were touched upon and con-
tributions urged. There is a slight bal
ance of debt on the branch for this year.
The budget for next year contemplates
the necessity Of s. 800 to be expended
in the interest Of the youth Of the town.
1t is understood that part of the amount
has already been pledged but the di-
rectors of the branch will not assume the
burdens Of another year unless the
whole is pledged within ...o next few
days.
At the Young Mems Christian associa-
don building last night state Secretary
y. P. Bailey addressed the meeting in
the interest of the work He was fol-
lowed by General Secretary E, c. Deni-
son of Omaha and Rev. DR.. Robert
Wheeler of South Omaha.
One Of the local directors of the work
explained that the present campaign was
more to renew the interest Of the parents
in the boy problem than actually to raise
the money at this period. What we are
in need Of" said the director, lis men
who will hold themselves responsible for
the amounts pledged for the work of the
coming year. Our work is not confined
to the boys who frequent the Young
Mems Christian association building. It
embraces the schools and all those who
able to contribute the regular dues Of
the association membership"
