Big Time at Y. M C A
A telegram received by Dr. G. A.
Green Tuesday announced the fact
that W. M. Parsons, of Minne
apolis, district lecturer of the Y.
M. C. A., will be in Grangeville
of this week and remain until
Wednesday in the interest of
local association.
The Y. M. C. A. is making mar
velous advancement all over the
world.
our
From one association,
started by a clerk iu London iu
1845, expansion has gradually
circled the globe with 7,507
ciations with a membership of 020
720, owning their own buildiugs,
valued at »32,000,000. Of this
number 1000 associât ouh are in
the United States, comprising a
membership of over 300,000
ing buildings worth »24,000,000.
The largest association in the
world is the Ceutral building in
Chicago, being 13 stories high and
in the heart of the business section
of the city and costing nearly »2,
000 , 000 .
There are few cities in the
United States of 8000 inhabitants
or more but what feels that it is
incomplete without its well organ
ized Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation. Cities of less than 5000
inhabitants rarely have their Y.
M. C. A., but some veiy notable
instances, however, exist where
the work is maintained very satis
factorily. At Mauch Clunk, Pa.,
a city of 4000 inhabitants, the as
sociation has a »70,000 building.
At Stamps, Ark., a town contain
ing but 1200 white population, a
very flourishing Y. M. C. A. is
maintained with a membership of
580 or nearly one-half the entire
white population. '
Grangeville is a very well con
ditioned city for the support of a
Y. M. C. A. , and as soon as the
real mission of the association is
known it will receive the hearty
co-operation that is so much need
ed to make it the success that it
merits. The greatest need of the
Grangeville association today is
personal workers, young men who
are willing to set aside a small por
tion of their time each week to be
at the association building and help
maintain a clean, wholesome at
mosphere and make the social fea
ture so attractive that young men
will feel that the best place to go,
next to the home, is the Y. M. C.
A. It is hoped this fall to organ
ize and maintain throughout the
winter mouths, men's and boy's
Bible classes and gospel meetings.
If room and means would make it
possible, instructive lectures and
classes in mining aud other equal
ly important branches would be
conducted. These and many oth
er branches of religious aud educa
tional features are a part of the
Y. M. C. A. work, and it is for the
furtherance toward these ends that
the district secretaries are sent to
eu
aggo
OWIl
the various associations, and it is
hoped that everyone who can do so
will come to as many of the meet
ings as possible while Mr. Parsons
is here.
Following is a list of the places
and time of meetings: Saturday,
8 p. m., Y. M. C. A. building,
meeting of the board of directors;
Sunday, 11 a. in., services at the
Christian church, W. M. Parsons
presiding; Sunday, 3 p. m., Y. M.
C. A. building, meetiug for men
only; Sunday, 5 p. m., Y. M.C. A
building, meeting for boys only,
under 18 years old; Sunday even
ing, 8 o'clock, at Presbyterian
church, preaching by Mr. Pâmons;
Monday, Y. M. C. A. building, at
2:30 p. m., meeting for ladies only,
every lady invited; Monday, 6 p.
m., Y. M. C. A. building, busi
ness men's bauquet, served by the
Ladies' Auxiliary.
Miss Smith Resigns.
Miss Leora P. Smith resigned
her position in the recorder's office

ton Miss Smith was deputy recorder
hut since J. I. Overman has had
charge of the clerk's department
she has been acting as a full fledged
deputy in the three offices, clerk,
auditor, and recorder. By her
resignation the office looses one of

ton and British Columbia, after
. which she will go to Salem where
1 she will visit her sister.
