BIBLE CLASS WORK

Athlejic Department Assists in "Developing Good Young Men.

The demand of the business world today is efficiency. The demand of the professional world is efficiency. Kfficiency in all walks of life whether sacred or secular, is the ideal toward which mankind is striving, and this Ideal is causing men everywhere to develop the best that is in them. The Young Men's Christian Association waB one of the first organizations in the country to recognize this upward trend, and because of that foresight and forethought of its early leaders it occupies a position of leadership in this upward trend, unique in the world's civilization. Organized by a dry goods clerk, who afterwards, by his application to business, became one of the great captains of industry in the metropolis of the world, and was also knighted by Queen Victoria in recognition of his great service to humanity, the organization has caught the spirit of the organizer, and whereever it has gone around the world it has been crowned with success. It has challenged the best that is in men of every walk in life, and kings and queens as well as officials of rank in every land have used their influence to bring its activities to bear on the young men and boys of their countries. The work of the Richmond Association has been far reaching in its many activties, and has been an uplift to this city. The influence on the youth of the city will never be known, as the results of this kind of work are not written into record books, but into the hearts and lives of men. The splendid building which the organization occupies is a beautiful monument to the, generous hearted citizens of Richmond, for it is the gift not of any one man, but represents the gifts of hundreds of men as well as the earnest labors of more than half a score of the leadingmen of the community, and of many others who have served their day and generation and passed on to their reward. The building contains commodious social and club rooms, dormitories for young men, educational class rooms, gmynasium and basket ball courts, locker rooms, lavatories and natatorium. Membership Increased. The membership of the association increased steadily since its organization. A membership campaign is now being conducted. Athletic Activities. The athletic activities of the association have always been an asset to the community because of their bodybuilding privileges, and there are many well, hearty men in the city today that owe their good health and development to the gymansium of the Young Men's Christian Association. Recognizing that "a sound mind

dwells in a sound body," the association seeks to develop all-Tound manhood, and gives the young man a place to spend his evenings in healthful sport that makes of him a better employe, a better business man, a better professional man, a better mechanic. The development of the boy Is also carefully looked after, and the association now boasts of a well organized Boys Department with all the activities for the boy that the young men enjoy. This department has been built up during the past two years, and is doing a work that is far-reaching in Its effects upon the future men of the immunity. Religious Activities. The religious activities of the association consists of Bible class work foremen and boys. Herbert Pettijohn, wK6 has charge of this work is one of the most successful men in the country and receives the commendation of many parents.

YSAYE DUMFOUNDS AMERICAN GUEST

BRUSSELS, Sept. 27. An amusing story is related about M. Ysaye, the famous violinist. During his visit to America the artist was the guest of a New Yorw mil

lionaire, who in his early days was a shoemaker. After dinner his host importuned Ysaye to play and when he hesitated remarked, "A man should never be ashamed to exhibit his art." Thereupon Ysaye played to his host. Having returned to Europe, the violinist invited his former millionaire host, who happened to be in Paris, to

dinner. During the evening a par of boots much the worse for wear was

handed to the guest. "My dear friend,

said Ysaye, "do me the favor of mend

ing these boots for me."

The millionaire was speechless with amazement. "A man should never be ashamed to exhibit his art," added Ysaye with a significant smile.

Food and Ita Flavor. In a plea for better food in America really pure food, better cooked the Journal of the American Medical Association calls on doctors and nurses to make the subject "of serious national import." "We cook food for at least four reasons," say the Journal, "to sterilize it, to make it nutritious, to render It more easily digestible and to Improve or vary its flavor. The last of these Is at least as important as any of the others. When the gustatory nerves tingle in response to the stimulus of some rare condiment or aroma the saliva flows in joyous excitement, and the digestive juices, by whose benign influences food is transformed into nourishment, respond In salutary and fullest measure. The simple and pleasant way to bring this about is to pay proper attention to the flavor of food."

A Rhythmical Criticism. Professor Brander Matthews was talking of certain past participles that have fallen into disuse, reports the Washington Star. The past participle "gotten" has gone out In England, although it still lingers on with us. In England gotten Is almost as obsolete as "putten." In some parts of Cumberland the villagers still use gotten and putten. and a teacher once told me of a lesson on the past participles wherein she gave her pupils an exercise to write on the blackboard. In the midst of the exercise an urchin began to laugh. She asked him why he was laughing, and be answered; "Joe's put putten where he should Uave putten put."

Men's Fall Suitings are in beautiful Scotches, Tweeds, and Cassimeres, London Grays, Oxford Blues and Browns, and decidedly pretty are certain English effects in which a distinctive pattern is reduced by two tones of the same color blending into the design. All this wealth of new weaves and colorings is combined with an exceptionally large line of staple Blues, Grays and Browns in Worsteds and cassimeres in our New Fall Line. You will certainly be surprised at the remarkable values in suitings at $15 to $30. We do "High Class" Tailoring High Class Tailoring holds perfect shape as long as the suit lasts.
