argument is all disordered.

That the Commissioners would report in the first place, upon the subject matter of the def»leations which have been discover- ed is what every one expected. That they have made a clear exposit.ou of that matter is what everyone who has reed their report That

THE adjourned annual meeting of the 'Ciarlottetown Y. M.

Jr is very much to be hoped that ali the members others interested will sttend, as subjects of int-rest in regard to the fu ure support and operations of the A-socistion will probably be discussed.

Chis valuable institution first came into }existence in 1°56, and there are seme of its original members yet holding office, vor otherwise connected with it, wh» can testify to the great good accomplished threugh its agency in our community.

Che Upper Hall is besides this frequently made use’of for meetings of religious so- cieties, notably the Bible Society, and for lectures on varivus subjects. To its plat- form are always welcomed those who advo- cate the great cause of temperance, now, as always, of vital importance. Here «Iso the pastors and members of the different churches meet on common ground in the interest of young men of vur city and Pro- vince; and they work heartily, lovingly and ordially, bound by the link which the Christisn Association brotherhood has weld- ed, and which it is hoped will grow stronger and firmer as time goes on.

As far as possible the Association lends the helping hand to other institutions of kindred character. The Young Womens’ Christian Association meets weekly in the basement Soarlor. The Womens ‘Temper- nce Association or Union also mee @ in the same place weekly. Thar the Assucia- t‘on has done, or is doing, all that it was intended to d , or that its promoters desire it to do, is not for a mument to be claim- ed; it needs for this purpose a still more iberal support than it has received and a renewed interest on the part of the fathers, mothers, relatives, employers and friends f young men.

This is a most gratifying fact, and sugurs well for the future financial prosperity of

the institution.
