Y, !. BRYAN MAKES A STATEMENT
IN BEHALF OF Y. NJ. c. A. WORK

of vital Importance to many such, as
shown by this instance.
About the first man to apply for a
room in a new Young Mems Christian
association building was the resident
manager of a business. He seemed
eager about it, but not for months did
they learn the real reason for his
eagerness.
One Sunday night a group was sing
ing hymns about the piano, and as he
passed through to his room the strall
of an old familiar tune caught and
held him. He soon found himself call
ing for more. When it was over he
said to the leader, Say, old man; YOU
hit me pretty hard" And then came
the story of his life. For seven years
he had not been in a church service.
He had not written home for four
years and he had been living at rapid
pace. He had partly come to himself
and it was shown that the reason fo-
his eagerness to get into the building
was the hope that it might help him in
his fight for a moral life.
There was a heart to heart talk and
the two men knelt in prayer. That
night he hustled down to the postoffice
to get the first letter he had written
to his mother in four years into the
mails, containing the news of his ne
purpose and decision. A few days lat
er he came in with radiant counte-
nance, waving a telegram which read
God bless you, my boy. The best
birthday present ever had" He is
now taking his place and taking up his
work as a Christian man.

i might say that merely as bust
ness investment it would pay, for in
proportion as you can improve the
moral standard of your people you
can make your property more safe; you
make your lives more safe, and YOU

new PARCEL POST
RULES PLEASING
Americas Could Not Get On
Without It

Business in the parcel post depart
ment of the local postoffice has been
on the increase since the new laws
governing the service went into effect
on August 10. The maximum weight
for bundles has been increased and the
local merchants are taking advantage
of it to serve out-of-town customers.
A package weighing as much as
twenty pounds may now be sent by
Uncle Sam. And the first zone has
been enlarged so that the cost of ser
vice is even smaller than before.
A peep into the parcel post depart
nent of the once reminds one of a gen.
eral merchandise store way out in the
country. There are packages of ev-
cry shape, size and color imaginable.
The merchants OF the town are
sending out packages containing ev'
erything from thread to new fall hats.
One local market has been sending
beef to its patrons by Uncle San
since the new law went into effect.
The system has been improved on To
such an extent that the people of the
town are beginning to go to it for any
and everything. Frequent requests are
made for wedding licenses and courte-
GUS Bob Glover has been asked to
bundle and crate packages ranging
from a Barlow knife to a yellow ca
nary.
The next step in the evolution of
the department may be the creation OF
a bundle wrapping or marriage Ii
cense department. Anyways the peo-
pie of Americas are we'll pleased with
the parcels post, and its new rules are
making it more popular.
