Mr. Mnhy had been given a year's leave of ab renco on account of poor health nnd was about to take a train at Danville, N.

Mr. Dickson announced that a half hour or more would be devoted to speeches in short metro by some of those on the platform or in the body of tho house, reisons who had been In any wuy benefited y tho associa tion. President II. C. Shafer, of tho asso ciation, seconded Mr. Dickson's com ment that sorrow revealed friendship. AVhlle a death called forth many ex pressions of sympathy and help and such had been accorded the Young Men's Christian association the asso ciation was not dead. It had been one ot the city's best investments nnd those Interested In the city's welfare did not propose lo let so valuable a factor pass away. It was a part of tho fabilc made with' tho churches, the Young AVomen's Chiistlan association, the Crlttenton mission and the Rescue Mis sion for the upbuilding of men and women. Its help could not be spaied but It would continue. Es-Clty Solicitor James II Torrey culled attention to a ray of sunlight which extended over tho heads of the audience as a pood omen nnd which could bo seen despite the artificial menus used to l'ght tho interior. He asked if hlb heaters had such n ray of light In their hearts to depend on when the other lights went out. It was such too, which cheered tho association in its present trouble. E. 13. Sturges announced that ho had made his first Sunday tilp down town in three years. Sorrow brings friends together, but tho big gathering should not be viewed us significant of trouble more than temporary. Ho commented upon tho helpful work of the associa tion to young men nnd assured his hearers that the citizens of Scranton would have a new bulldlntr erected In u comparatively short space of time. MR. PEARSALL'S REMARKS. Secretary Pearsall, of the railroad branch, described what had been dono for him by the Young Men's Clnistlan association, and Rev. George H. Guild, of the Providence Presbyterian church, remarked that the ray of sunlight mentioned by Mr. Tortey made Its en trance through a black-curtalned win dow. Ho likened the circumstance to tho fact that tho pall which hud fallen upon the association through the flro was not a calamity black enough to keep back the organization's bright prospects. Music Director Chanio and A. V. Bower, chairman of the corn mlttece on religious woik, spoke from their expei lences of help from the as sociation. Ringing speeches by Rev. Dr. James McLeod and Captain Av. A. May evoked applause. Piofessor AV. II. Buell commented upon the loss felt by the John Raymond Institute.

A highly successful Initial meeting of the Civics club wns held Saturday evening In Albiight library hall. Some very Interesting papers were read, as follows: Professor AV. H. Buell, "Tho AVoik of n Civics Club In Scranton;" John Gunster, "Tho History of Cur rency ns a Medium of Exchange!" Mr. Pi osb, "United States Currency)" II. J.

In discussing "The AVork of a Civics Club 'n Scranton," Professor BUell sug gested thai reform 9 bo gained through a study and knowledge ot tho oVIls In need of being remedied lather than by mearts of combat. Ho was not opposed to reforms or refoun movements, though h'e did disapprove Of "cru sades." If the Civics club should de velop Into tho usual kind of "reform" organization It-3 epitaph might cor rectly lead "I expected It, but not so soon." Education, knowledge, moral ex nmple were necessary to reform work. Such qualities were required in Intelli gent action nnd action without intelli gence would bo dangerous and certain ly unfruitful. Good citizens should have a knowledge of municipal busi ness und procedure as well as those parts of National government. A Scranton cltlren could not honestly find fault with his own municipality if he knew nothing of its government. "Th'o History of Currency as a Me dium of Exchange" was the topic of John Gunster, who began his paper with comments upon money and trade in the time ot the Old Testament. Mr. Props' paper on tho currency of tho United States reviewed this country's financial history In a thorough and ablo manner. It was a l ecord of pvents and the interest attached to the paper was not lessened by theoretical Idens advanced by tho speaker. Mr. Ahdorson's report of the Indian apolis monetary convention detailed the most impoitant discussions and conclusions of that important meet ing Much of his remarks was from a printed report of the convention. The report was discussed by several of those ptesont.
