Things are looming up and the sky
Is clear and all are encouraged over
the outlook of a big one hundred thous-
and dollar Young Mems Christian As
sociation Campaign for Nashville.
This is the verdict or the Committee
OF Management, declared Secretary
Sanders, this week when seen by q
Globe reporter who was anxious to
know of him what the prospects were
TO- The committee, carrying out the
proposal to raise the necessary funds
that would guarantee the NEGRO mea
OF Nashville a new, modern, well
equipped building such as is now en-
Joyed by Louisville, indianapolis, Chi
.cago, Washington and several other
cities. From what the Secretary stat
ed and from what he had in writing
there seems to be no doubt but that
the campaign will be pulled off and
that it will be pulled off under skilled
management backed up by the enthu-
siastic and determined population of
Negroes who have shown evidence
that they are ready now to strike
while the iron is hot, or using the
Secretary's own words, that this is
the psychological moment. He has
figured out that there are seventeen
thousand Negro men and boys within
the corporate limits of Greater Nash
vile. The students of the various
Colleges are interested and out of
this great body it is figured by the
general secretary and board of man.

five hundred strong, aggressive young
men who would send in their names

brief campaign that is to be launched
at an early date, but who will be con-
slant workers and loyal members
throughout thus making the Young
Mems ChristisN Association to Nash
vile what it is designed and intended
to be.
The most encouraging report of all
was the definite decision and the posi-
tive announcement given from
Mr. j. E. MOreland, one of the
secretaries of the International
Committee of Young Mems Christian
Association, located at Washington.

pondence with Executive Secretary
Sanders, but who has been in CORE
spondence regularly with Secretary
McGill. Mr.. Moreland wrote Secre-
tary Sanders, 81 hope Nashville will
be the next place where we will pitch
the battle" Nashville has agreed TO
lay itself upon the sacrificial altar
FOR such a case. AS has been said
time and again, the coming campaign
has been outlined upon basis that
guarantees and carries with it success.
The percentage basis of calculation
on what each individual will be asked
to contribute has received as much
consideration and attention as any
other item which is a thorough argu.
ment that every detail, the most in
significant as well as the more i'm.
portant plans, have been worked out
and simply await the order to put
them in execution.
Th' meeting Of the committee last
night settled upon quite a number of
things that will have to do with the
campaign. While nothing has been
given out from the meeting, it is ur.
derStood that there were no secrets
but thot the whole evening was spept
in prayerful and careful consideration
OF the stupendous work that is to be
taken up so soon.
Mr.. Moreland, it is understood
favors the launching Of this campaign
early in January rather than waiting
for snring. Tn this he seems to voice
the sentiment Of the entire local com
mittee, wich will no doubt meet the
approval Of the citizens. The Official
launching is to be heralded in every
direction. Nashville, it is understood
will make a noise over the starting
and win keen this noise up until the
goal shall have been reached.
