Movemeimt Tefes 1 Are A BIG RALLY AT THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCH LAST SUN DAY AFTERNOON SAVES THE NEW BUILDING TO THE LO CAL Y. M. C. A. ORGANIZATION. The friends of the. local Y. M. C. A. are greatly elated at the turn of the affairs of the Y. M. C. A. in this city.. For several months! the organization in this city, to all appearances was doomed to failure, in which there would not exist in this town an ac tive Y. M. C. A. organization. The new uncompleted building was ad vertised ahout a month ago to be sold to satify a debt of several thousand dollars placed on the building to se cure funds to construct it to its present incompleted stage. The sale was to have taken place last Monday and iiad the sale taken place, the Y. M. C. A. as a local organization would have been doomed for the next quarter century, As a last chance a number of public spirited citizens called ,a Mass Meeting at the First Tptfinf1ist fhTvVh last Snn.iav after- ' : . ": ana from the very beginning considerable entnuslam was appar ent. " Rev. C. F. Smith presided over the meeting, and a number of address es were made in behalf of the organ ization in which appeals were made to the citizens of Elizabeth City to save the magnificient building to the T. .M. C. A. work. Senator R' "W. Turner one of the trustees made a speech in which he outlined the work of the trustees, that as far as he could see every effort had been put forth to raise tae funds and complete the building. And now they were at the end and almost hopeless; that as far as he couSd see the last effort had been made, but that the committee would make one more effort, provided Mr. B' F. Aydlett would give his aid and influence in the work, with his as sistance there was a gllmer of hope. Then ne made the motion that Mr. Aydlett be made chairman of the committee to finance the Y. M. C. A. to success. Mr. Aydlett was called upon fcr a speech and responded. Mr. Aydlett in his speech said he nad not taken an active part in the Y. M. C A. work; that he had only contributed in a small way, as he had been more interested in the orphan age work and still felt the same way. He said tne Y' M. C. A. was in his opinion not a necessity if the church es would! do their work, but if they ould not then there was a place for "the Y. M. C A.. He aid , that Elizabeth City could not afford .to llow the building to be sold, that the people ought to come forward and save it, both for the credit of the "town and for the good ot the young tapn. These speeches were the key fortbe 'ave of enthusiasm which 'had been growing since- the rally gathered to find expression in hearty pledges of scores that had already pledged to 'iouble their subscription to save the building, to nave it flnislied for Y. M c A . The despairing friends of the institution were greatly revived and r't greatly cheered at such a pro. Picious change in a hitherto hopeless .movement. New life was suddenly in 3ected into the movement and those who have struggled so long against n odds to build the Y. M. C. A. borne raised the banner mrain rmtv Sieving thaif their hopes will be 1 New Lif M I i uiTiurno i nu I t t ttv tp tt rr r MIVIVtRMRI m ft AGAIN SUNDAY PASTOR "LOFTIN OF THE BLACK WELL CHURCH WILL HOU EX ERCISES; COMMEMORATING TtfE COSE OF HIS THIRD YEAR'S WORK, Pastor I.

THE YOUNG MEN APPEAL FOR Y M C A MORE THAN 200 HAVE SIGNIFIED INTENTION OF BECOMING MEM BERS. A MEMBERSHIP OF ,500 CAN BE SECURED. A most hopefull sign of the sue: cess of the new movement to -complete the Y. M. C. A. building is the active interest that the young men of the citv are taking in the Lmovement.

A. organisation and they have petioned tor the bus-;? - an appeal to save the.ple .ve tokinS the liveliest inter- iness men in new building to tne local organiza tion. . v ' - A 'i?ettUfe torn cloVe" A entifte wllh the local Y. M. C. A. work stated this morning that he was confident that a membership of five hundred young men can be easily secured to tne Y. M. C. A.. To the thoughtful citizen an active Y. M. C. A., or ganization in this city with a mem bership of 500 young men means much, and furnishes much food for real down right thinking on tne part of every citizen who i on the de clining side of life and must soon yield his place in municipal affairs to one of these young men. The aimless wanderings of the young men on the street corners at night at eight o'clock is the strongest appeal to the older men of this city to provide them with a place of rec reation and entertainment. The Y. M. C, A. building must be built and will be built although it means great sacrifice on the part friendg gupporters The men behind the movemen know not what it means to FAIL.
