ed to the boarders and the mother had

was, if boarders had to be admitted to
the home, to keep up the same ol 1
home influence as had alwavs prevail
ed. The Y. W. C. A. links the homeless
young- women in the city with the

admitted to the association and
protected by its Christian influences
and the girl whom he had recently
been called to see in Greensboro, on
a bed of sickness, her life marred if
not wrecked by sine as the result of
temptation in her homeless and unpro

Miss Casler, in concluding, pointed

After the last annual meeting. Jan
uary 15th. 1907, the new board imme
diately proceeded to make plans for
the work of the year. The first step
was taken in March, 1907, when at the
regular monthly meeting of the board,
it was decided that, on account of the
crowd- ! : :.itions in the boarding
home, and for various other reasons,
it seemed necessary that we at once
devise means by which we could own
a well equipped modern association
building.
A campaign committee was ap
pointed with Mrs. Willard G. Rogers
as chairman,, and Mrs. Walter Liddell
as treasurer, and early in April the
campaign to raise funds for a newj
building was begun, ending May 31,!
1907. During this time $13,400.00 was
pledged. Of this amount $4,S99.67 has
been raised. The Committee, con-!
f erring with the advisory board of!
gentlemen, thought it best to purchase
at once some suitable property on
which to erect the building.
The lot on North Church street,
known as the Cheshire property, Avas
offered to us for $7,000.00. After due1
consideration it seemed best to secure
ihis property, and about the first of
last May it came into the possession
of the Young Women's Christian As
sociation. A $3,00.00 payment was
made at the time of purchase, the rest
to be paid by , May 1, 1908.
After the expenses of the campaign
have been met to date, there remains
in the bank $1,779.85. In the fall of
1S07, Mrs., Liddell resigned as treas
urer of the committee, and Mrs. C. N.
G. Butt was appointed to her place.
It may be of interest to note that the
money belonging to the campaign fund
is kept in different banks and is han
dled by different treasurers, so that no
confusion of i'mids is possible.
While there still remains $2,220.03 to
be collected to meet the payment on
the lot when it falls duue on May 1st,
next, and, while we are still far short,
of the sum needed to erect such a build-
jing as the young women of Charlotte
j demand, we have every reason to be
Uieve that the people of Charlotte will
j meet this demand, and that in a very
j short time the mouey will be forthcom
j ing and that the Charlotte Young Worn
;en's Christian Association will have
j a building at which the whole city will
f look with pride. Let us thank our God
and Master for His great love, and ask
with reverent hearts for His blessing
on this part of the work that lies so
near to our hearts.
To those not in close touch with the
n-nri- rf the devotional committee, it
I may seem that not much has been
! done, and yet at the quiet Vesper hour,
at the evening prayers in the. boarding
iliome, and in heart-to-heart talks with
! girls, lives have been, touched in a
j beautiful way, and there are those
i who have testified that they have come
to know Christ better and have a
broader vision of what a life wholly
dedicated to the service of the Mas
ter might mean.
During the year 1907 there were 38
Vesper services held in the associa
tion' parlors, with an average attend
ance of 34.
One of the most helpful and interest
ing events has been the weekly Bible
class held in the association rooms ev
ery Monday night during the school
year, and taught by Miss Mildred Wat
kins. This class has had an average
attendance of about 20, and Ave are
glad to see that members of the asso
ciation not living in the boarding home
are availing themselves of this privi
lege. We "tfre more grateful to Miss
Watkins than we can tell for this giv
ing of herself to us in this beautiful
In the life of the association, the
boarding home department occupies
a larges part. During every month of
the year every room in the home has
been occupied. This means that 33
girls live under its roof. Girls who
love fun and have it, and who love God
and are trying day by day to know Him
better, and to whom those in charge
count it a privilege to give of their
best. It is worth while to live in an
association boarding home. While we
have had the house full, there have
been many who could not come to us
who desired to do so; at one time there
being 19 on the waiting list. This is
but another proof of the need of a
larger building.
Transient guests during the year will
average 8 per month.
It may be of interest to note that
during 1907, there passed through the
hands of the secretary $565.45 more
than during the year 190G, and $1,
70C.37 more than during the year 1905.
If figures mean anything at all, these
mean that the Young Women's Chris
tian Association has taken its stand
in the front rank among the organiza
tions of Charlotte, and we may expect
greater things in the future if the wom
en of Charlotte stand together and
work shoulder to shoulder for the
younsr womanhood of our city.
( During the absence of the secretary
'during the three months beginning
August 1st. Miss A. Louise Sherfesee,
'of Charleston, acted as secretary. For-

This has made it possible
to have our state secretary, Miss Anna
D. Casler, with us much oftener than
we would have had, had they been else
where. Miss Casler has been in the
home several weeks at a time, and
her presence, her sympathy and kind
ly counsel have made many things pos
sible. The visits of Miss Ida Garrison, stu
dent secretary of the Carolinas, have
brought much pleasure and help both
to the girls in the home and the sec
retary. During the winter of 1906-07 Miss
Caroline Critchett, physical director
at the Presbyterian College, conduct
ed a successful gymnasium class, and
in the fall of 1907 it was. reorganized
and is now a source of much pleasure
and profit. The constant demand' from
business girls is for a gymnasium
nearer the center of the town, and
when we have one of our own, we
will need our own physical director,
and will have many and larger class
es. The social department has helped
in the life of the association very ma
terially. It was this committee that
so successfully managed the concert
given in the Selwyn on November 1st.
To Mrs. J. O. Gardner is due the
thanks of the association for her ex
cellent management of the concert giv
en for the benefit of the piano fund the
night of December 27th.
To our faithful president, who has
given so much of her time " and
strength, to the officers of the board of
directors, who have been so faithful
to their trust, and to those friends
who have come to our help when help
was most needed, we are deeply grate
ful. " " " .. ' '
At the end of this old association
year and at the beginning of the new,
we come to the Master and ask Him to
bless all that has been done in His
name and to leau us to greater things,
and to fit us for His service and to use
us for His own glory.
