nearly all old world cities, the audi

Y. M. c. A. NOTES

General Secretary Ira e. Lutte had
very interesting meeting with the
building committee last week. The
meeting was held in order that the
committee might fully know just what
was being done towards getting the
work started on the new building.
With the bids for them Mr.. Lutte eX-
planned the many difficulties and OBJ
stacles which they had met, and the
efforts being made to overcome them.
He was of the opinion, however, that
work would be started within the next
few weeks. Patience and common
sense must be exercised in all big un-
dertakings such as this.
After two months time we are again
mailing letter to our subscribers who
have not yet finished their pledges. We
trust this appeal will meet with a
ready response in view of the fact
that our building operation will begin
needed to carry it on to completion.
A large crowd was in attendance at
the meeting last Sunday afternoon to
hear the Rev. George L. Prince, pastor
of Zion Baptist Church, who spoke on
Christ as a Panacea for All Ills" DIR.
Princes address was able and logical,
pointing out that the life of Jesus
Christ was the only one after which
one could safely pattern his own life.
The devotional part of the program
was led by the Rev. John e. Allen.

were several hundred of them who
over the protest of the conventions
chairman, called meeting to be helc
on Armistice Day, 1924. for the ex

every one of the young men who de
mnnded that this meeting be held is OF

his country in the day of its possib,

things Is said:
