Charlotte, Jan. 14.—My at
tention has bean called to the
editorial item in your iaaue of
Dec. 27 concerning the building
to be erected at High Point for a
Young Men's Christian Associ
tion, and 1 am constrained to
call your attention to a few
facts in connection with it. We
appreciate highly the influence
of newspapers like yours and
want it with us In our efforts to
promote the welfare of young
men,
Pint of all let me say that the
movement in High Point started
with the ministers themselves
who, after careful study of the
situation and of the work that
Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation is doing today when
properly equipped and support
ed, unanimously agreed that it
offered the best solution of
their problem. Then the best
business men and most success
ful manufacturers were led to
consider the matter. They af
ter carefully doing so reached
the same conclusion and ap
pointed a committee to raise the
necessary funds.
a aiu ii«uk 10 mam mac,
where towns propose to start
the work on the basis that Gas
tonia and many other places in
the Carolina* conducted it some
years ago, ocr Inter-State Com
mittee’s advice agrees with you,
" Don’t.• We have done so in a
number of places within the
past year. But High Point,
with its usual enterprise, pro
poses to erect a building with
adequate provision for reading
room, library, educational work,
hatha, gymnasium, bowling and
other games, boys' work, dor
mitories, social and rrligion*
gatherings. With such an
equipment, in charge of a
trained Secretary, the work is
invariably successful and en
ioys the hearty approval aod
support of all good people.
I am sending you the January
nnmbcr of "Association Men"
by which yon will see that ' the
advance in the past five years
surpasses the entire forty-seven
years of the Association's previ
ous history.”
At to your suggestion about
the churches putting their
yonng people to work it is a
tbiu^ to be devoatly desired.
Bat it is not wise for all the
churches to nnite in providing a
building for tbeir young people
to work with which will be
adeqoatc to the requirements of
successful work for yonng men.
The remarkable growth of the
work in recent years certainly
indicates that such is the opin
ion of the leaden in Christian
effort,, and that successful
CHristisn business men are so
fully convinced of it that they
are giving largty to the sop
port aud exteusion of the move
ment,
' 11 alter looktnv over "Associa
tion Men" you feel like calling
attention to the progress which
is shown we will be glad to
have yon do so.
Yours sincerely,
G. C. Huntington
Inter-State Secretary,
Mr. Kiadky laflrar.
