PRESIDENTS REPORT.

CuristiaN BrerarEeN,—Another Associ- ation year has closed. We are reminded by the flight of time of the uncertainty ot temporal things and the need of our doing quickly what we expect to do for the cause of Christ.

It is a matter of interest to note the growth of our Young Mens’ Christian Asso- ciation work throughout the world. Mr. George Williams, of London, Eng., not yet an old man, and still active in Christian service, began definite work for commercial young men in that city in 1844. There are now nearly three thousand Associations scattered throughout the Christian world. Of these more than eight hundred are in the United States of America, and upwards of fifty in the Dominion of Canada.

Our own Association is now in the thirty- first year of its existence, having been or- ganized in 1856. The constitution declares the object of this Association. to be the spiritual, mental, social and physical im- provement of youug men. It this report I shall endeavor to show how far the present managment have fulfilled the grand object for which the society was organized.

For physical culture we have a fairly well equipped

GYMNASIUM,

and it is gratifying to know that a large number of young men and boys have, dur- ing the past year, taken advantage of the facilities offered them for bodily develop- ment. This department has been under the very efficient management of Ernest Ings, Esq., without whose gratutious ser- vices this part of our work could not have have been carried on. The gymnasium is now ready to be re-opened, and we trust that it will receive the patronage of even 4 larger number of our young men than in the past.

We have endeavored not only to interest young men in caring for their bodies. but have sought to cultivate their

SOCIAL NATURES

and to this end have provided for them this Parlor, with as near an approach to home-like surroundings as we could with the means at our disposal. The room has been well patronized by young men. To make the most of this social work we need some music and additional amusements. We also need a number of christian men on duty every evening, who will make it their business to make every young man feel at home, and,go away with thet hought, ** Well, that’s a first-rate place to spend an evening. [ an going up there often.” Let us make the parlor lively, bright and attractive every night.

Many young mey living in boarding houses, being strangers in the city, are shut out from the influence of Christian homes. It is a fact that most young men are led astray through their social natures, and, consequently, through their social natures, they can be most easily influenced for good. I believe that a social, manly, warm-hearted Christian man, with common sense, could -be as useful in the Lord’s work in meeting young men in our parlor, as exhorting them in our meetings, and, perhaps, by the opportunities for individual effort thus afforded him, he could win more men for Christ, the Church and a Godly life.

The great secret ef keeping young men out of the devil’s traps is in keeping them busy during their leisure hours-—when , the eye of their eraployer is not upon them, — and they are at liberty to spend their time as they choose. One great object of the Association is to help them te spend this time profitably. Many a man has risen to distinction, who has not enjoyed educational advantages when a boy, simply because he used the hours when not engaged in earn- ing a livelihood for mental improvement. To aid young men in the pnrsuit of know- ledge our

READING-ROOM

has beea stocked with the very best news- papers and magazines. It receives a fair share of public patronage, but should have many more patrons than it now has. Prom the Cormmittee’s report you will learn of the improvements made during the past year. Much more remains to be done, especially in making it more attractive. To aid in this mental work a LIBRARY is a necessity. I trust that before long the Association will be able to offer, as one of the inducements to young mén to join us, a well-stocked library. Arrangements are made for evening classes in penmanship, arithmetic and book-keeping: “he services of efficient teachers have , been secured. These classes will be openec. soon. We hope that other classes will also be started. There are several gentlemen who will willingly undertake the work of instruction if the young men are only desirous of re- ceiving this help. A very interesting MOCK PARLIAMENT

was in session in our rooms once a week during the past winter. The meeting of this parliament should again be announced. In my last report I suggested the advisability of arranging for a series of practical ‘‘talks” to our young men on the principles of business, health, ete. 1am sure there are many of our busi- ness men, lawyers and physicians, who woull give the ‘‘boys” a talk if requested. Let the Association take up this matter next year.

We have been greatly aided. and encour- aged by the sympathy, hearty co-operation and practical assistance of our

LADY FRIENDS.

They generously provided a grand bazaar, the proceeds of which, upwards of + $500, afforded us substantial aid. To them we are also indebted for some most enjoyable

socials. The mothers and sisters are ever most efficient co-laborers in this work for young men, and we are sure they will con- tinue to assist us.

It has been the endeavor of the Associa-

LINER.

tion, in the physical, social and mental work outlined, to lead up to the meetings and Bible classes the directly

SPIRITUAL

work of the Association. We are gratified to be able to report that there has been a good attendance and much interest manifested in the religious services held by the Association. A large number of young men have met weekly to study God’s Word, that they might find out more about the Lord Jesus, and be made more efficient in Christian work. In the Sunday afternoon service, some have been led to decide for Christ. A very interesting CHRISTIAN WORKERS’ TRAINING CLASS

was started in September and has been well attended. From this class young men will go out better fittec to handle the Word of God in their Christian work. The work at the Hospital and Poor House, as weil asa service at Southport, has been sustained for a part ofthe year. Our hope is that in the future the spiritual work will

be much more energetically conducied than it has been. The

TRACT DISTRIBUTION

has been attended to by several young men. to whom the Master's ‘‘well done” is the highest compensation. The “Week of Prayer” was observed in common with the Associations throaghout the Continent.

During the year I have given fifteen letters of removal to young men. From most of these I have heard good accounts. They have found employment, and have also found, in the Associations to which their letters introduced them, helpful influences. One of the young men who left us is to-day preaching the Gospel in the Northwest of our own Dominion and wasZengaged in that work on the credential he bore from this Association.

Arrangements have been made between the different Associations of America to grant membership to any one presenting an unexpired ticket of membership from the Association with which he was con- nected.

A most interesting and profitable con- vention of the Y. M. C. A. of the Maritime Provinces was held at Summerside in August last. All the sessions were well attended by the delegates and by the people of Summerside, many of whom were present at all the meetings. The following subjects were discussed :—

How to get the most good out of the Convention.

The financial and general business management of Associations.—How can they be made most effective.

Railway work.

Bible study an essential part of Associa- tion work.

Prayer meetings.

The presence of such men as Rey. Dr. Forrest, E. D. Ingersoll, Esq., Rev. B. Chappell, Rev. Mr. Gerrior and Dr. Kelly made the evening meetings very attractive. Among the resolutions passed was one commending the union of Y. M. C. A.’s and railway men’s organizations. Would it not be well for this Association to approach the railway men on this subject here in Charlottetown ‘

The names of fourteen of our members are entered on the credential committee's report of the Convention.

Brother F. W. Hales, for many years 4 member of the Executive Committee, retir- ed at his own request, on account of impaired health. Judge Hensley was appointed in his stead.

Brother A. W. McLeod, Traveling Secretary for the Maritime,Provinces spent nearly a month with us this autuutn. He endeavored to procure for the Association a general Secretary, but was unable to bring that work to a successful issue. The question is still an open one, and if the Association is to continue, doing as it has been in the past, not to speak of extended efforts, and new fields to be occupied, a general Secretary must be engaged. Fol- lowing up the work begun by Mr. McLeod the retiring executive urge upon the citizens of Charlottetown to sustain the Association by greatly enlarged contributions. From the Traveling Secretary during his stay we received many valuable suggestions for the future conduct of our work, as well as aid in conducting the general work while he was here.

FINANCIALLY

we are in a better position than last year, having paid off a large indebtedness on current account, paid the cost of fitting up the gymnasium, met the expenses of the year and have a small balance on hand. The items of receipt and expenditure will appear in the Treasurer's and Finance Cum- mittee’s reports.

What is our work forthe future? First, to make the departments of work already organized most effective. Secondly, to engage in new work, viz., work for boys, many of whom come to our rooms and are found in our classes. Much more could be done for them if definite work in their behalf was undertaken. Strangers coming to the city should be sought out and in- fluenced for good; especially young men who come into our stores, eeckubops and factories. Something should be attempted amongst those who are classed as the vicious, for whom no definite work as yet has been attempted. With a good General Secretary, and 4 wel)-organized, active membership, much, very much, might be accomplished for the good of young men andthe glory of God. The members of committees will kindly bear with me if I suggest that, in future, those who assume the responsibility of positions on com- mittees will use their utmost endeavors to carry out the duties of such position. In the past our committees have not so fully taken charge of the work of their depart- ment as might be wished. The Chairman of a committee should be the directing power of the committee ; should see that the work was done; while the individual membership should ever be ready to further the efforts of their chairman. I would sug- gest that in future, instead of a somewhat
