Los Angeles, Cal., Jau. 28.—In this
germ on the preacher show’s the impor
tance of giving hospitable encourage
ment . nd spiritual direction to the
lives of the multitudes of young men
and women who are strangers in our
great cities. The text is Proverbs xx,
29, “The glory of young men is their
strength.”
It is an interesting study to watch
the different designs of our modern ad
vertisements. Well, some time ago,
reading the different signboards, I
came upou on< the like of which I had
never seen before. It was a square
board, standing iu a conspicuous place
in the front yard of an obi residence
situated m ar the heart of the city in
which 1 live. This was the way the
signboard read: “Property of the Young
Men’s Christian Association. They Want
to Erect I’pon This Site a Character
Factory. Won’t You Help?” I stood for
at least five minutes watching that plain
sign. Then the full purpose of the man
who made that advertisement began to
dawn upon me. As I stood alone iu
that street 1 could see the walls of
that small residence building disap
pear; then I eoulil see the huge walls of
a great factory building rise in its
place. This huge building was ablaze
witb many lights. From out of almost
every room i could heat the bum of
the workmen at their task of building
character, the noblest work on God’s
earth. Then as 1 stood there I could
sec Hie doors of that great‘character
fact' :;, swinging open, and I could see
score and hundreds of young men
passii g in and out. What a noble,
strong I >oklng set of fellows they were
—strong in physique, strong in mental
and moral worth, strong iu spiritual
strength! .Then I said to myself as I
walked home in the darkness: “May
God help tb ■ coble men who are at the
bead of thi Movement to build that
character fan >vy. May I always be
willing to help those men In every way
that I possibly can—with pen, w’ith
voice and with money.”
The preaching of this sermon on the
mighty mission of the Young Men s
Christian associations throughout the
world is a result of the prayer 1 made
that night when I stood watching the
signboard marked “Character Factory.
Won’t You Help?” I want tp help the
great young men’s association move
ment of San Francisco and New York
and Loudon and Melbourne, as well as
that of Los Angeles. I want to show
why we should try to support the Inter
national labors of this useful society.
I know of no bettor time iu which to
speak this word of help than at this
period, when this world wide associa
tion is entering on the second period
of its development. The tirst period
closed when, three months ago, the
body of its devoted founder. Sir George
Williams, was laid to rest in .It. Paul’s
cathedral, London, in the presence of
the representatives of the throne and
of the Christian people of the city.
There they buried him among the sol
diers and sailors and statesmen who
had served their country—a knight by
tlie favor of his sovereign, hut with the
higher knighthood upon him which he
had won by his service to the young
men of.his time, the knighthood of the
cross.
The Birth of the V. M. C. A-.
Let us go to the cradle of this move
ment. Let us stand, in the first place,
in the now historic room where the
Young Men’s Christian association was
bory and held its first meeting. Let us
analyze its genesis, the cardinal pur
pose, the pre-eminent reason for its
creation and its existence today. When
I wander through any of the Baruardo
orphan asylums I know why they came
into existence. Dr. Harnardo many
years ago was a young student, study
ing to be a foreign medical missionary.
In his wanderings about Loudon he
saw the waifs of the street, the little
newsboys, the little urchins with no
homes, sleeping iu cellars and eating
out of ash barrels. He said: “These
boys, unless they are given homes and
' reared aright, will make the future
criminals of England. There is no need
of my going abroad to work for Christ.
My work is right here among the Lon
don waifs.” The Barnardo homes were
started to rescue the little children of
London and give them a home and a
Christian education.
We know how the Salvation Army
came Into existence. William Booth
was an English Methodist preacher.
He felt that the church was not reach
ing the outcasts and those, like Mary
Magdalene, reeking with sin. In 1865
he left his church and started the
“Christian mission.” He afterward or
ganized bis “Christian mission” upon
military lines. Then be said to his
gospel soldiers: “Do not wait for sin
ners to come to you. You go to them.”
What is the result? There is not a sin
ful dive in Loudon or New York which
has not been invaded by his gospel
soldiers. The Salvation Army was or
ganized to save the drunkard, the har
lot, the thief and the libertine. “God
bless Its work,” Is the prayer of every
true, loving Christian heart.
Why was the Young Men’s Christian
association started? What was its
first purpose, and what is its present
purpose? To bring young men to Je
sus flirist. Its object was first and
foremost religious. It wag not started
! to tench men and women how to sew
1 and how to cook and how to keep clean
and then indirectly shove in a little re-
1 Uglon, as a dose of medicine,
as candy, is administered to a sick I
child. It was never started with the!
Idea that a clean shirt will necessarily !
make a clean heart to beat under the
clean shirt. It was never started with
the idea that well blacked shoes and
well creased trousers are sure proofs ;
that the owners of those shining shoes
will walk In the path of virtue and of ;
truth. But the Young Men’s Christian
association was started with the idea
of leading young men to sireh first the
kingdom of God and his riglheousuess.
It was started with the idea that the
greatest work of life for a young man
to do was to bring other young men
into touch with Jesus Christ. Thus the
Young Men's Christian association has
never from the beginning been afraid
to lift high die banner of the cross. Its
very name signifies the purpose for
which it was organized. “Young Men’s
Christian association” means “young
men for Christ.” That is the first and
chief reason for which I honor this be
neficent movement.
Work F«.r Yoniif? Men.
But the Young Men’s Christian as
sociation work does not end here. It
is important to get a young man to
confess Jesus Christ, but it is also nec
essary, during the years of his Chris
tian infancy or formative period, to
keep the young man by Christ’s side
and to surround him with the protect
ing influences of a Christian home.
That to me is the greatest work on
earth to he done for young men in our
large or smaller cities. ne$t to getting
a young man to publicly confess his
love for the Saviour. Indeed, I may
go farther. Perhaps the second work
is even more Important than the first, |
for !f a young man who has once con
fessed his love for Christ does not con
tinue to live very close to Christ he is
very apt to lie drawn aside by tempta
tions and his last condition be worse
than the first. Let me sketch the story
of a young man coming into a large
city. I use this illustration because
the work of the Young Men’s Christian
association always has been and al
ways will he chiefly among the young
fellows who, like George Williams,
come to live in a large city with no
borne but a hoarding house, and no
friends but those they are compelled to
make among strangers.
This average young man is the son of
Christian parents. All his past life has
been surrounded by Christian influ
ences; but, like most young men living
in the smaller towns or <>n the farm, he
wants to get Into the center of things.
He goes to New York, Chicago, Phila
delphia, San Francisco or Los Angelos.
At first he is dazed or dazzled by the
noise and the hustle. The houses look
to him as though they were reaching
to the sky. The streets are so crowd
ed with electric cars and tramways
and automobiles and shooting auto-
cyeles that he Is afraid to cross them.
Then the crowds! The people seem to
be everywhere. They push him, they
Jolt him, they growl at him, they do
everything but speak kindly to him.
Everybody seems to be in such a hur
ry. The people are running for the
ferryboats, and they are running for
the elevated trains, and they are run
ning for the bridge cars. They are run
ning everywhere.
Th«- Sense of Loneliness.
At first the young man’s time Is tak
en up with watching the different
sights. lie acts just as he did when his
father first took him to a county fair.
Then there comes over him an awful
sense of loneliness. Like David, he
seems to cry out. “No man careth for
my soul.” He goes to church the first
Sunday. He says to himself, "Now, if
I go to church I will n.eet some nice
people.” But he finds the average city
church just as different from the coun
try church as the tall, stiff, unbending
and inhospitable city home Is different
from his father’s genial, open door
farmhouse. No one speaks to him at
church. Then the lonely Monday night
and the lonely Tuesday night and the
lonely Wednesday night and the lonely
Thursday night and the lonely Friday
night and the lonely Saturday ulght!
He wants to be good, but what is he to
do? Yet all this time sin is everywhere
beckoning: “Come, brother, come and
drink with me. Come and laugh with
me. Come and make merry with me.”
Plenty of church servic* s on the Sab
bath day, but what is he to do duriug
all the rest of the week? Mark this:
The young men of the city will not be
saved for Christ by two sermons
preached on the Sabbath day. They
must have a Christian home. They
must have a place where they can go
and meet Christian people. If the
Christian churches in the past had been
run on the line of the institutional
church, there would have been no need
of a Young Men's Christian associa
tion. But as they have not been so run
there have been thousands and tens of
thousands of young men saved for
Christ through the influence of the
Young Men’s Christian associations.
Now, how does the Young Men’s Chris
tian association offer to the young men
a Christian home?
Work for the day is done. Monday
night is here. The young man is eating
hla dinner at the boarding house. The
boarders are about to separate. “Where
arc you going tonight?” aaks one of
the boys of another boarder. “Down
to the Young Men's Christian associa
tion,” is the answer. “What!” says the
questioner. “Do you go there? What
do you do there?” “Oh,” says this
friend, “that dej^nds. Some nights I
sit and read in the library. Sometimes
I bowl and play games with the boys.
Sometimes I work in the gymnasium.
Sometimes we have lectures. There it
always something to do. By the way,
Mr. So-and-so, won’t you come and
be my guest tonight,” be turns and
says to the new boarder. “I want you
to meet some of the boys. Then, if
you like, I wish you would Join us.”
Then the young man’s eyes take on a
| look of great anllety as he says: “You
j must spend your evenings somewhere
. and In doing something. You cannot
spend them better than down at the
association with us.” What is the use
of my currying tin illustration any fur
ther? Do you not see that where the ,
average church work stops the Youug
Men's Christiau associuliou work be
gins? With the long arm of loving
tenderness it reaches out and encircles
that boy’s neck and heart. It says to
hhu: “Young man, tome and spend
your leisure hours with us. Come and
read. Come and play. Come and meet
pleasant companions, the same kind of
Christiau boys you used to meet Ln j
your father’s home.” And as sin beckons
in one direction the young man in his
lonely bedroom sees the Yeung Men’s
Christian association beckoning in the
other direction. I say, thank God that
we have this noble association as a
great Christiau home, fighting the
temptations of sin on their own ground.
But the purpose of the Y. M. C. A.
is greater than those we have already
described. It tries to bring young men
to Christ. It surrounds the young men
of a great city with the protecting in
fluence of a Christian home. It has
also an intellectual as well as a fun
loving atmosphere. No sooner does a J
young man enter its walls than he is I
inspired with a holy purpose of increas
ing his mental and physical capabilities
in order that he may increase his spirit- .
ual opportunities for doing good.
Dweloplnir Strength.
Now, the old idea of the literal inter
pretation of the text, “Open thy mouth
wide and I will fill it,” has long ceased
to he quoted. As a quaint Bible com
mentator once said, “If a man does
nothing but open wide his mouth God
will fill it, but be will fill it simply with
wind.” We know today, as common
sense men and women, that if we are
to develop our spiritual powers we
must also develop our mental and
physical strength. Though Paul sat at
the feet of Gamaliel, as soon as he was
converted he went off t > prepare him
self for his future Christian ministry.
In the first chapter of Galatians we
read, “Neither went I up to Jerusalem,
to them which were apostles before me,
but I went into Arabia.” There in the
desert Paul stayed three long years.
He was there studying and commun
ing with God before he came forth to
begin his mighty labors. Thus no
sooner does a young man enter the
Young Men’s Christian association
walls than he breathes the atmosphere
of mental and physical as well as spir
itual development. If he is anything
of a man at all he says to himself, “I
want to make the most out of my body
and brain that I may be able to serve
my God better.” Then the Idea of en
tering the association merely for play
ceases. The young man in the asso
ciation works to develop his brain, his
body and his spirit, as Paul went down
Into Arabia and as Moses went forth to
tend the sheep and Elijah went Into re
tirement—to make themselves mightier
agents for the Divine Master to use.
Thus I hail the modern Young Men’s
Christian association as a great Chris
tian university. A young man today
who wishes an education does not have
to go to college to get it. If he is com
pelled to enter business to earn his
daily I tread when he is young, during
his evening hours he can enroll him
self in this Christian university’s
classes. There between the hours of 7
and 10 p. m. he can study all the com
mon school branches. He can study
there the commercial branches. In ev
ery well equipped association there are
night classes iu typewriting, shorthand,
bookkeeping and business law. He can
master there all the higher English
studios, like rhetoric, ii iglish compo
sition and English literature. He can
learn there the industrial sciences,
like electrical engineering or applied
electricity, mechanical and architectur
al and freehand drawing. And he can
sit there at the feet of French and
German and Spanish teachers and
learn to speak foreign tongues. A dear
friend of mine, who was a member of
the Chicago Young Men’* Christian as
sociatlon, said that when he vs as a stu
dent there a few years ago every night
there were assembled in classes within
the walls of that association 800 stu
dents. Now, any movement which will
: make it possible for the young man
who has not been able to go to college
I t<> got (hat education after bis work at
the store is finished is a movement
which ought to have your indorsement
and mine. 1 thank God that thou
sands of young men are being better
fitted for the struggles of life through
the influence of the night schools of the
Young Men’s Christian association,
scattered all around the world.
A Life Work.
But with the theoretical training for
life’s work found iu the Young Men’s
Christian association work there goes
on side by side the practical, spiritual
training. Of course within the Young
Men’s Christian association walls there
are spiritual drones, Just as there are
loafers and deadbeats in every human
beehive, but if a young man is ready
to do his share of spiritual duty almost
as soon as he enters the association
walls he is set to work, and that is
what many of our churches do not do
with all their members who are willing
to work. If you enter a Young Men’s
Christian association like that in New
York you are accosted by the men with
these words: “What are you ready to
do for Christ?” Will you distribute
cards? Will you Join the young men
who every Sunday go and hold serv
ices in the city prisons? Will you visit
In Christ’s name our city hospitals?”
And everywhere a young man turns he
has the opportunity for Christian work
In this society if he is ready to harness
himself up to God’s service. Can you
not, O man, appreciate the good this
Young Men’s Christian association is
able to do when It can take a youug
man at the most critical time of his
life, when he is perhaps away from all
home Influences, and start him forth to
labor In the Master’s vineyard?
Do you not realize that scores and
! hundreds and thousands of our churc b
members who are now working In our
largo churches would never have been
the valiant laborers they are for the
church unless they first had been de
veloped in one of these Institutions?
The strongest Christian worker in some
respects that I ever knew was saved
for Christ’s kingdom through one of
these societies, and saved through that
a'lone. When he left the little town in
which he was born to enroll himself as
a student iu Cooper Institute of New
York, he took along his church letter
with him. Ho went to a prominent
New York church whose pastor has a
national reputation. He worshiped
there for three months, and no one
spoke to him. Then bo went one day to
the pastor and said: “Doctor, I do not
want to come to church simply to wor
ship. I want to go to church to work.
I will do anything you want me to do,
but I must work.” Did he get it 9 No.
Then Mr. McBumey, then secretary of
the Young Men’s Christiau association
of New York city, set him at work.'
He kept him always at work for the
Lord, and lie developed him, until one
day this young man was able to step
to the front and be a leader for Christ.
Thank God again, I say, for the oppor
tunity which the Young Men’s Chris
tian association gives to the ordinary

There is comfort in the knowledge ao

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild end the extra

work near enough to your hearts. It is
a mighty thing to save men, and it
needs the help of all God’s children. 1
Are you ready to help those Christian
men and Christian women who are try
ing to save the young men for Christ?
The young men need you. Will you
heed their cry, corning from this near
by Macedonia?
Ail I have said in reference to the
movement of saving men for Christ is
equally true of the noble work of the
Young Women's Christian associations
all over the world. This special move
ment is of later growth, but tbe same
arguments with which we plead for the
men’s organizations apply to the young
women's movement. It is far better to
reach out a helping hand to the young
girl who has come to town and is
struggling to make a livelihood before
she slips over the precipice of tempta
tion than to try to rescue her after she
is a moral or spiritual wreck. “The
glory of young men is their strength.”
The glory of young women is their pu
rity. Let us guard them, develop them
and, in God’s name, make them mighty
for his divine service. Let us today
consecrate alike these two mighty
movements for the saving of the young
men and of the young women for
Christ.

“When I was a boy,” said an old gen
tleman, “I attended the old Gorham
academy in Maine. One time the Rev.
Caleb Bradley of Scarboro, Mass.,
came to talk to ns. It was during the
presidency of Mr. Polk, and his remark*
showed bow much higher political feel
ing ran in those days than now. He
said: Tf you make good boys yon will
make good men. Some of you might
make a Washington, some of you a
Jefferson, and the Lord knows most
any of you might make a Polk.’ "

Korean Currency.
Korean currency exists in various
grades—firsL government nickels; sec
ond, first class counterfeits’ third, me
dium counterfeits; fourth, counterfeits
that pass only after dark. Civilization
has not served Korea well in this re
gard; their Japanese neighbors are clev
er counterfeiters. In earlier days Ko
reans used small ahells as currency.
They were probably better suited to
tbe needs of ths hermits than nickel
coins.
