Aa tha days go by and the openlns; draw near, the interest' Increases. ' Advices from men in Columbia and other, but side places give assurance of a num ber of visitors from other points who want to aea the aupsrb new structure.

This handsome new edifice is for the use ot and is a part of the Young Mea'a Christian Association, but It has been built by the people of Charlotte and in one sense ot the word belongs to thtsm. It is a very happy time to the leaders in the association work in Charlotte to be able to throw open the doors of the building just com pleted and invite every one in Char lotte to see what has been done with the money subscribed for the further ance of this great and noble work In the City ot Charlotte. One of the most pleasing features of the new building is the large num ber of sleeping rooms for young men. Not only will this iaea provide a source of Income for the association. but it will serve to draw all those who raum In the building closer to the real object of all the work, and will be productive of a, great opportunity for securing batter and wider results through the constant contact with the CbrieUan influence afforded here. One may get some idea of the popularity of these rooms through the knowledge I mat almost one nundred young men have already placed their applications tor quarters in the new bblldlng. As a result of the long and persist ent labors of the devoted body of directors and committeemen each one of the various departments of the as sociation work, including the spirit ual. physical and educational de partments tor both men and bora will In every way be provided with the means so long needed for its prose cution on a broad scale, which here tofore has been impossible. ' It is expected that the many new features added to the association by me commodious new building will at tract a great many new members, and that In a few months the present memDersnip will oe doubled. Every person who has contributed a dollar to the new building will feel an intense satisfaction to know that his money haa been so well invested to aid a cause that Is doing such wondsra for the young men of the oiiy.
