Y.m.c. A. Year's Opening

Y.M.C.A. YEAR'S OPENING

Next Sunday afternoon will mark the opening of the Young Men's Christian association's fall campaign in its more definite religious work. From this time on the Sunday meetings will be of more general character and of interest to men outside of the membership as well as in. Out-of-town speakers will address these meetings from time to time. Good, soul-stirring music will be made a special feature. Sociability and fraternity, as in the past, will again form the most attractIve feature about these gatherings of young men in the association rooms on Sunday afternoons.

The coming Sunday also marks the opening of the Association Bible school with its classes for both men and boys. Monday evening will be entirely devoted to the Bible school for men, the class work beginning at 7:45. The men will gather in groups, each group in charge of a leader, and all studying the same lesson. The fall term will consist of a three months' study of the book of John. The group leaders will have previously prepared themselves for teaching under the instruction of the state secretary of the Michigan associations, Mr. L. E. Buell. This Bible school is open to all young men residing in the city, whether members of the association or not, without charge.

The meeting on Sunday will be in the nature of an introductory service and will be addressed by Mr. E. F. Mills on "Why no man should slight the Bible." All young men will find a cordial welcome and congenial friends at this gathering. The first session of the Bible school will convene on the Monday following, while the educational classes will not begin until the week following.
