There is a campaign on in New
York for the purpose of raising $4,'
100000 for the local branches of the
Young Mems Christian association and
the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton. The work is progressing SPLEEN
didly, the enormous sum of $2,663,Ol1
having been raised in the first ten
days. 1t is evident, therefore, that
the money desired will be forthcom'
ing.
The campaign has been a popular
one, and although a great many con-
tributions of large sums have been
received, there have been thousands
from people of moderate and even
scanty means. This shows the wide
spread interest which is taken in the
movement by the people generally.
