Y. M. C. A. NOTES

With the coming in of better
weather conditions, work on the new
building has been resumed, as before,
and is proceeding rapidly. The trou-
bles occasioned by the failing in of
the earth on the alley side, this caus-
ing great inconvenience and delay for
the workers, is being overcome and
men are again clearing. out the pit for
the swimming pool. Lumber and other
materials are also being brought up,
and things in general are looking good
The building committee selected the
kind of brick which will be used in
the building last week. 1t is safe to
say that when completed this build
ing will be a pride to Denver and to
the colored people of the city and to
the Y. NJ. G. A. in general. The build
ers feel suer that unless they are fur
ther interrupted by bad weather the
brick work will be started within the
next ten days.
We wish to urge upon all our people
who have not yet paid their subscrip-
ton to the building fund that they do
so as speedily as possible. The rapid
work on the new building will now
quicken the need of money for contin-
uance and completion of the work.
The recital and vaudeville entertain
ment of the Hi-Y Club which was held
at Zion Baptist Church last Friday
evening was attended by large and
appreciative audience. The boys rem
dered a splendid program and pleased
the audience very greatly. Particular
mention should be made of young Miss
Spratlin, who got up from her sick
bed to fill her place on the program !;
also to the Marshall brothers who
came on at the last moment to save
the audience from the disappointment
at the failure of the committee to
secure the motion pictures. They re-
ceived great ovation at the close of
their sketch.
The Pioneer Clubs held big con-
clave at Shorter Church last Wednes-
day evening, Notwithstanding the va
cation week. A large number was
present. The clubs are doing splendid
work and are looking forward with
great interest to the coming of spring.
The great Eddie meetings on Re
lationship" will be held today and to-
morrow at the Central Christian
church. On account of these meetings
our regular Sunday afternoon program
will be deferred. 1t is hoped that our
men will all attend the meetings of
Mr.. Eddie.
