Y.M.C. A. WORKERS TELL OF ACTIVITY Businessmen Explain Scope of Work in Foreign Countries A delightful parlor 'meeting was held at 11 o'clock this morning with Mrs. John H. Weiss, 325 North Front street, to hear E. Lachlln, rep resenting the Y. M. C. A. work in I'on Chow, China, and E. J. Cooper, a prominent businessman of Minnea polis. who has generously given up hi- business interest for one year, Ip. order to devote his entire time to the magnificent work of the ln ternationikl Y. M. A. Mrs. Paul A. Kunkel, of the Woman's Auxiliary Hoard of Y. M. r. A., introduced the M'cukers, explaining that the women of Harrisburg having this fine op portunity to hear these men through Ihe courtesy of Ttobert B. Reeves, secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. Mr. Mcl.achlin captured his audi ence with his first sentence. He said in substance that every reason which • •xists for having Y. M. C. A.'s in Harrisburg exists also for having t lieni in China, with a score of addi tional reasons, also. In the cities of this country there is some foreign prejudice, superstition and ginor ance with which to contain, but it is infinitesimal compared with the awful Ignorance of China. MtUo Education Out of 400.000.000 inhabitants only 1,000,000 were in schools five years ago. To-day there are 4,000.- 000 in the schools, but while that is an advance, it is nothing compared to what it should be. Education i; ; •me of the crying needs of China. To-day a women is merely a chat tel there; she Is often sold for as small a sum as 30 cents. Ideals, fdueation, spiritual enlightenment must be given new China. The Y. M. C. A.'s are planned to lie self-propagating. A model as sociation is formed in the capital of the province, and the government and management of the associatioi are placed, as soon as practicable, in the hands of the Chinese them selves. Two months ago, the speaker saM, the wife of the President of Chini was baptized and the leaders of Chinese thought are demanding Christian teachers. The number now is insufficient: at least six lead ers must be sent this year or Amer ica will lose her grip on this oppor tunity. America cannot, dare not. fail in this crisis. Mr. Cooper opened his remarks i y paying a splendid tribute to the wo manhood of America. He said: "We must see this war through. We must win. We shall. Hut we must conserve every atom of energy. The Y. M. C. A. is conserving energy: it is one of the potent factors for righteous and justice and victory in tills world war." Mr. Cooper left his business em ploying 3.000 men. at the request of S'h°rwood Eddy and Jolin U. Mott. : nd took a leading part In raising the $35,000,000 for the Y. M. C. A. Foreign work—work in r.ati:i America and in China —must not bej nesrlected to-day despite war conrli-J 'ions. Thirty*three trained men from India. South America and China j tiave been called and sent to the I Y. M. C. A. work in France. Hence j their places must be filled and we, must realize that home and foreign; work is now inextricably mixed and l there i no foreign work any more. | " hen the army from Brazil or from India roes home, shall it not find I there the Y. M. C. A. which minis-j tered to it in the trenches? We must i keep the home fires burning forj those boys when they return.
