SPLENDID MEETING
Gathering Of Men AZ First Presby'
terrain Church Tuesday Night
For Y. VI. G. A.
Purposes.

Several days ago invitations were
sent out by the state committee of the
best auxiliary the church at work has
in the nation, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, inviting the men of
Maysville to a banquet
Much theorizing was done and much
talk INDUCED in as to the general pur-
ports of this meeting, many thinking
an attempt was to be made to reor-
ganize the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in this city, but such was not
the case. II was a meeting of instruc-
ton in the work being done by this
splendid organization throughout Ken
lucky, not only in the cities, but in the
rural districts as well, and from these
reports it was shown that the young
men were not being neglected.
DR.. James b. Wood acted toastmas-
ter and very capably filled the bill.
The first number on the program
was the banquet served by the Ladies'
Aid Society of the First Presbyterian
church, and as the true way or reach
ing the best that is in man is through
the inner man, this was done i'm a way
that every man present was thorough
ly converted to the work Of the asso-
citation, as the supper was a most
enjoyable one, as was evidenced by
the way it was taken care of by those
present, showing that the ladies knew
just what particular brand of eating
was necessary for the occasion, and
the daintiness in which it was served
showed them to be adopts in this line.
After the splendid supper, Mr.. p. l..
Corbin, one of the state workers, gave
an illustrated lecture on the work OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. being done in this
state, which was well received, there
being many new phases of the work
under way hitherto unknown here.
Mr.. c. G. Curran, county work secre-
tary. and Mr.. s. o. Harris, boys work
secretary, made addresses on their re-
spective lines of work, which were live
and interesting. The boys work of
the association is the main stem, and il
Is receiving splendid attention from
the very capable head in charge, Mr.
Harris.
Rev. A. F. Stahl made short talk
that was one of the hits of the eve
ming.
The main address of the evening and
one that will be long remembered by
all present as about as mastery an eff
fort as was ever heard here, was that
of Mr. A. G. Bookwalter, metropolitan
secretary of Cincinnati His line of
thought and the manner in which II
was handled was just a little differ
ent from anything ever presented to
an audience here before, and Mr..
Bookwalter proved himself a thor
ougnly capable and highly efficient
man for the most commendable work
in which he is engaged, and a return
engagement of this gentleman is earn
estly requested.
Prof. G. C. Nance closed the talk
ing fest by very timely local APP
plcation, which, with his vast mowl.
edge Of boys wants and needs. shows
him to be powerful lever in the up
lift and moral training of our boys.
This meeting is bound to be fruit
full of good in this community, and we
predict that the schools of Maysville
will line up with other forces that
have been dormant but were given a
new impetus and that ere long Mays
yille's boys and young men will be
pulling the tail feathers out of the
state committee for a place alongside
their star workers elsewhere.
