President Hateratlck read tbe following report : Lapiksamd Obmtlkxex : Tbe oeoaslon el our meeting here tbla evening la Ue cele bration nl the seventeenth anniversary of the organfzillen of the Yeung Men'a Christian association. In looking ever tbe field aa pre sented te our view tonight and contrasting It with thst el similar gstberlngs In tbe past, the contemplation Is one that begets much of ttiauktuliiffer the Improved condition In which we Drill the Institution at tbla time. But It H net our purpose tu Indulge In a lengthy and uninteresting array of events or facta connected with the work of Ibis organi zation, but only give sufficient details te en able you te form a proper conclusion aa te what has been accomplished during the past year. The association is an established fact, financially it ret upeu a solid foundation. Larger means arid n nvjre genereua Income, It Is true, would euable It te de much mere etUctent aervloe In the community. That day, we firmly believe, la slowly but surely coming. Frem tbe little gathering in Tem perance ball, seventeen years age, step by step, has grown the present Institution, with It comfortable quarters and Its library of ever seven thousand volumes. It has been a gradual development, and we predict for It a grand and prosperous future. These who have labored In Its behalf, through aun shlne and shadow, for the past seventeen year may net live te aee It as It aball appear attbeendet the next seventeen years, but when their tluie comes te lay down the armor, It will be committed te ether and younger bands, with full confidence that by that time It will be elnted te as one of Lan caster's best and noblest Institutions. Visitor te the association building during the past year have expressed themselves as much pleased with tbe improved and home heme home llkeaapectot Its various department. Much, If net meit, of this Is due te the untiring efforts of the Ladies Auxiliary. Indeed, it Is something marvelous te see what this noble band of women bave acsempllsbed In the two years of their organization. Their taste and thoughttuleess 1 aeeu en every band, and uiestgratelully de we acknowledge our In debtedness te tbem for much of tbe prosper ous condition In which we find ourselves te. day. The sustaining membership plan atarted en the tirst or October, l&fi, for the purpose or meeting tbe current, expenses el the so ciety, accomplished all that waa then hoped for. At tbe close of tbe first year el its operation every item contracted for bad been paid, and en October 1, ISM, there was net a single dollar of indebtedness. Nearly all of these oeutributora bave renewed their sub scriptions fur tbe present year. A glance at the treasurer's report shows an Income during lil, for general association mrpeses (Including a balance of (03 31 en land at last report,) el (902 35 Received from rentals, which can only be used for re pairs te property and in tbe purchase of oeoks ami papers fur library and reading rooms, f 1.11,10, making a total from all sources or (1,35.1.81. Expenditures were as follews: Librarian, (3G0; Janitor, gas and fuel, (Jt3 03 ; books papers, msgazlnes, Ac, (254 78 ; repairs and Incidentals, (S3 72. Total disbursement, !)W Leaving a balance for library purposes el (240 60 aud for gen eral association wants, (170 02. The ueluluein or tbe library has been widely extended during the past eighteen months, inaluly through tbe tebannel of our sustaining membership, each of whom receives a ticket te the library for every dol lar subscribed. Thete tickets may be assigned te anyone at tbe option of the bolder,and thus tbe books are brought within tbe reach of these most In need of them. Tbla exten site aud continued use of tbe books, how hew eter, increases tbe wear and tear te an euormeus degree and much of tbe funds coming Inte the hands of tbe library com mittee are required for repairs and ro unding, leaving a comparatively small amount for tbe purchase 01 new books. Just here would ba an opportunity for some of our benevolent people te aid tbis Institution In lta most useful aud elevating branch of work. A few hundred dollars donated for library purposes ueuld be of untold benefit te tbe many readera wbe depend almost en tirely upon this source fur literary feed and culture. Tbe committee are delug all tbey can with the funds at tbelr disposal, but may we net hope that tbelr means may be largely Increased through tbe generosity of some of our public spirited citizens 7 Tbe library committee, through lta chair man, A. F. Hostetter, esq., furnishes tbe fol lowing statistics : Frem October 1, 181, te October 1, 1885, the number of visitors te tbe rooms were 17,130; books taken out of tbe room., 2,571 ; used In tbe rooms 3,291. Tbe susteinlug membership plan went into opera tions en October 1, 1833, and from that date te October 1, lttSO, tberu were 21,995 visitors, and 3,971 book used In the rooms, while these taken out amounted te 10,114, an in crease everlhe previous year of 7,543. The present year ending with October next, will show a allll larger number of books taken out of the rooms. There are 297 persons drawing books en assigned tickets ; 57 mem bers and 120 subscribers, making a total et 170. Theae boeh are changed and taken out of the rooms, and many of them no doubt read by whole families. A bout 05 per cent of tbe books taken out of the bullulng are fiction, aud about 27 per cent are Juvenile, This Is a lower percent age et fiction than meat of the circulating li braries et the country (though much tee high yet), and a higher percentage of Juvenile ; history, travels and biography about 10 per oent It la noticeable, however, that our peo ple bave been reading a better class of fiction tnan lermeriy, auewing a growing taste, largely due te tbe efforts or our efllelent librarian, Mrs. Whltsen, aud our purchase of standard novels. lu the spiritual work or the association may be mentioned the young men'a meet ing every Sunday afternoon, and alae the regular services at tbeoeunty prison. In tbe latter work the College association and ours unite. Under tbe direction et tbe proper commit tee, a lvceum ba bjeu ergamzad and helda weekly meeting. This la au excellent fea ture uf association work, and may be the mean of aoeompllsblng much geed. We have thus briefly sketched some of the meat preminent operations of tbe society for tbe past yesr, and with due acknowledge ment te all wbe have asilsted and encouraged u In our labor, and a prayer te Ged for guidance in the future, we leave tbe subject iur your oensiaerauon. Miss Hallle Beehtuld sang very sweetly tbe sole, "Consider tbe Lilies." This waa fol lowed by a humorous recitation, entitled tbe " 'Sperlenee ob de Ueb'rend Quaoke Streng." Rev. Dr. W. C. Cattell followed with a brief extemporaneous address, In which he dwelt upon tbe great advantages resulting te young men from having them drawn within tbe Iniluenee of Christian men and worsen. He had long been a worker In tbe Y. M. C. A., and bore witness from bis personal ex perience of tbe great geed which bad been done by tbe organization. Pret, Hall sang Flee as a Bird te Your Mountain," after wbleb Rev. O. E.
