held by the Lincold, Neb., Association was addressed by Hon. TV. J. Bryan on "The Claims of the Christian Religion Upon Men." Over 1,700 men were present.

Over 1,000 men and boys were found positions by the Employment Department of the New York Twenty-third Street Branch last year. A great many of them were young men away from home. These men have formed a society with unique initiation ceremony and pledges to fellowship and friendly service to strangers. During the holidays a banquet was held for men away from home and country. The secretary communicated with and received answers from about eitrhtv of the parents and afte r the dinner these were brought in and distributed by little girls dressed in white, making one of the most affecting scenes in the annals of this Association of 4,000 mem bers.
