CAMPAIGN FOR MONEY Will be Conducted by Y.M.C.:A. Next Week. 1he board of directors of the Y.M. .A. met on Tuesday evening, for .heif regular montnly meeting. After routine busiuess was dispensed ' vith, the board took up toe question of the financial campaign, to be cur aed out next week. 'Lhe board ais cussed, for some time, as to whether .t suould present the claims of the ns socation to the public every year, or 40 once in three years, as was done ' ut 190s. Atter hearing from Mr. Hop- «ins, the provincial held secretary, of the experiences of other places, oper: ating under the three-year plan, it was Jecided that the old plan of one year should be adopted. It was found that the public were not{ sufficiently en tightened from timesto time, on ae count of the three-year presentation, ! and it was more desirable that they be brought into closer touch with things, which could be accomplished by going to the public each year. "The sum found to be required this yews is $3,500. This amount is abso- lutely necessary on account of growing needs of the different depart- ments of the work. In order that the work of Lhe asspciation may not aystailed, but enlarged according to be present demands, the public gene- call should seriously consider the ap- peal 1g them the coming week.» | I Sunday next, the association will Boe most of the city pulpits for one service. They will be filled by the best men the association can bring here. The idea is to put before the public, in as simple a form as gentle, the-work being done by the Y.M.C.A., and its needs for the pre- sent wear. No subse iptinns or collec: tions will be askec ~jor at any of these services. Aly EE of these services will be gnnounced short- ly. The regular YM.CA, monthly | paper will be given but at the differ | ent churches, whiok'is an exceedingly interesting number this month.
