Associations will be held in three sec­ tions; for the Northern district at Au­ rora, October 18-15; the Central, at Peoria, October 20-22; the Southern, at Oentralia, October 27-29. The progran: jf each meeting has been planned with the greatest care and with a view tc naking the sessions of the greatest prac­ tical value in the promotion of Christiat work among men. Mr. George L Wrenn, President of the Chicago lift Cinder writers Association will preside at Aurora; Mr. F. B. McKown, of Rod island at Peoria; and President D. B. Parkinson of the Southern Illinois Nor nal University, at Centralia. , Among the phases of the work to bt discussed are the distinctively religious *ork, the Bible study department and ohe educational work, where there wil be special meetings lor the college men, railroad and town men. A business men's banquet and reception will bt aeld at each place. The Annual Report of the State Com­ mittee will show a prosperous year'i work, with decided -advance made if nany directions.

Each year demonstrates anew the practical usefulness of the Y. M. C. A. as an ally of the churches, and its ap­ preciation by pastors, educators, rail road managers and business men gener­ ally is constantly increasing. The plan of holding the annual meeting in three sections will undoubtedly greatly in­ crease the attendance. Young men in towns not having Asso­ ciations are especially invited and wil] be welcomed as honorary delegates if they bring credentials from their pastors.
