The Y. M. C. A. of Aim Arbor, has purchased a handsome site for a building. It is 88x100 feet. The Argus says : "The next thiug the association wants to do ia to build a gymnasium, but before itdoes thatan additional $1,800 will have to be raised." And, wbile waiting for the funds it might proütably employ the time, by taking the gospel hypodermicsyringe and injectingalot of individual piety into its veins. - Adrián Press.J That is where the Press is in error. The boys are possessed of piety enough. Some of them rnay lack a little n faith, but they are improving in that respe;t. The Ann Arbor Y. M. C. A. is no str'aight-laeed, toe-the-mark, hell-flre and brimstone affair, but a simple band.ing together of a nuinber of workers who believe that Christiauity is in doinK not talking; in working not waitiug. Tliey also recogiiize the fact that tliey were once boys themselves, and that boys need some place where tliey can congrégate and have a jolly good time without being surrounded by influencesthatdemoralize. liiey aim to help the boys enjoy life, and at the game time assist tliem in building up that moral stamina and pureness of charaeter whicli ie so essential to success in life. In fiict the association here is no kidglove affair, but an honesteffortby conscientious young men to found a steppiug stone for the boys of Ann Arbor that will help them all through life, and that will endure as long as the city dures. That they are succedmg is a sure iiidication thattbeir work is needed. That the people of the city have faith in in their efïorts is shown by the fact that inbide of one year iu the hardest times ever knowii, they have raised euough money to Vjuy aud pay for one of the best building sites iu the city, and have some money left to start a building fund with. The association will not only raise the $1,800, but they will raise $25,000 or $30,000 with it to put up an Association liome that will not only be a credit to Ann Arbor, but a real home for Ann Arbor's boys where they may feel free to go and come at will, and spend their evenings in an eujoyable manner.
