versation by Rev Z. NJ. Jones, Of
Livingston. in which he attacked
very vehemently the work of the
Army y. M. c, A. He denounced
his Baptist Brethren who were
interested and asserted that the
movement meant the ruin of the
Baptist Church, and was an at
tempt to unite the world under
one big denomination knswn as
the Y. NJ. &. A. He designated
the Y. NJ. C. A. contributions as q
