PLE TO COMPLETE IT. ' 'Will tlie incompleted Y.M. C; A. Building stand as a toonoment.to our lack of progress and generosity, or will it not? L; r ; Our people will soon have ah oppor tunity to answer this question. The Y. M. C. A. is not a church but is an auxilliary to. the church. Many young men have sferted in careers of usefulness from the Y. M C. A. It has helped boys of our own town. :. 1 t ' The boys or young men of the towti want a Y. M. C. A. They need it. "It fills a place in young life, that our .chuTches ftrattKTX and young men of all -.the churches in a clearer fellowship, without in terfering with anv church affiliation. Q - Let us be broad enough and generous enough to lay asideany? little pre judice or indifference Ve may feel, for the sake of our boys and young men, push to completion the Y. M. C. A. Building. It will be a ornament to our town. The loyalty and patriotism of the communitf is Jna great jmeas- ure measured byUs public "build' igs. as long as uus. Duiiaing re. mains in its unfinished condition, it makes a bad impression on visitors. They think we lachi co.operation, push and generosity necessary to -a pro gressive community. W :all feel a just pride in our town and-want to see, it grow. Let us manifest this pride in a practical way, by pushing oJa "com pletion the building' thli how stands for christian fellowship;; r It will purnish ipur'1 -jioys and1 young men with dean amusements, health ful exercise and goood literature are these not needful to our young peo ple? Think over these matters and nand to this great enterprise do not say no. A CITIZEN. One of the many 'ways our people manifest their hearty, approval of the work of our orphans' homes is the supprt they give to the Singing Class from the Oxford Orphanage'. While the concert are of such character as to merit patronage even if they' were not given in behalf of a great work, the fact that a most excellent pr gram is rendered by bright well-trained children and at the same time, a most worthy cause is promoted, makes the appeal doubly, strong to our people. . ; ,N In Elk's Hall, Friday, evening, May 7, 1S09 Admission 25 and 35cents.
