THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

I PEVIEW OF THE WORK BEING Do*£ BY THE ASSOCIATION.

___ ne.v building erected by the Young Association has been a hive 7 .fulness ever since the opening day, Tmore especially during tie past six _7 Wefind that almost every even. m°n'frcm two to aoiiaetimes five and six IGS • _, take clace within its walls. 8«S avo encouraged to make A 7™ their rendezvous, and theCom this place then and should bo held in tho gSSSvidod specially for this obJect „,.- mssinc through our city cx »f B Tl t a-prised and gratified at ff*£B2 buiSg and the%ndsome celiacs, the buildings in aSSS3 6eVie S of oneof the l^on. °\ n •„" v-e learn that about twenty & SB%SltSve made use of the WM dv S the past few months It SffisS&s£ Atheheum, Askoda £ football Club, Grocers' Association, SiLfi Ppalino- Mission. SSfeihn, is largelj-attended. The three educational classes have all ave r"c attendances of 100 young men 4M.reading room is well provided with all ti ieleatlinsraagazinesand hew&papers, .and Laryis« S edbyamimbe.-ofi-egnlar ! Wriber*-. ThoCommittee desire -largely SSffi "umber of books, but want of fnnds at present prevents. _ iThelecJuresandentertainments, admission to which has been given by corn-so ticket at the low, price of 3d per lecture, have Ln attended and appreciated more numerously than on any previous occasion. p PV J S 'Hill's Sunday afternoon class has done much to direct .-the thoughts of L young men from the f ePtlonl channel in which some months ago tliev threatened to be developed, and is attended by from 300 to 500. Every Sun day this class gives about ±2 weekly to the bmldinc fund, certainly proving that the effort!* of Mr Hill arc -valued. The otherrelitjions meetings on Ihursday &nd Saturdays, "also Mr HiU'a weekly Bible 'class for women, have an increasing atten dance. It is to Bbregret—(l thatsr.eh a useful institution should be hampered by debt, and in any way crippled for w£int of funds. The various Committees who have worked so hard during the past 18 months desire the support of all employers of young men, of all young men, and of the public gene rally, and we cannot but believe that when the necessity is known many will gladly come forward to donate, subscribe or join this good work. -../., The Association boasts of a Treasurer who all along had advocated the most rigid economy, never spending more than abso lutely necessary. If the affairs of New Zea land had been managed as we find the affairs of this Institution have been, we Blionld to-day as a colony be living within our means and probably depression would be unknown. ■ The.Associationhas been enabled, thanks to the good management, to more than pay "its way, and tins year lias raised over £450 towards the reduction of the debt. Having done their utmost they now appe.al to employers of young men and the public to assist them. Owing to tlie depression that still exists they do not ask for im possibilities, but simply expect out- ' ade help to the amount they them dm have raised during the year, it an early date they hope to hold a con relsazione to wind up the lecture course. Many friends have already offered their services, and no doubt ifc will do something to relieve the debt that prevents in some measure the aggressive work of the Association. We are informed a very small sum enables young men to avail themselves of the numerous and valuable advantages provided for them, while the only restriction to full member ship is aTecorhmendation from any member of the Committee as to the Christian char acter of those applying. The Association appeals to all young men to come and join the roll. Full members have the privilege of introducing any friend, who can, if cle .—„,. use the rooms free of charge for one month.

The Association does good work in many other ways, which for want of space we have been unable to mention. The General Secretary will give further information, and will at all times show over tbe building any who wish to see ifc.

CHORAL HALL.-FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION'S CONCERT.

The first annual concert in connection with the Auckland Football Association was given in the Choral -Hall on Thursday night, and pansed off very enjoyably under the able conductorship of Herr Schmitt. The pro gramme was of'a choice character, and the audience were evidently highly ' please*l w'th the manner in which the various items upon ifc were rendered. A more uniform standard cf excellence, however, was at tained with the instrumental contributions wmn with the vocal selections. The best ot the former wero the two string quintettes performed by Herr Schmitt, 'Messrs Mum oitl and Keesing (violins), Mr G. Paque (violoncello), and Mr Borthwick (double bass), viz., "The Evening Breeze" £ anSey),and " The Serenades " (Langey).

John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about, your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I have suffered considerably from mi ury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my medical adviser, he strongly recommended Porridge for breakfast, which I have taken until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmeal soon causod unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I And none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it, aDd certainly think you should do'a large trade.in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) . FREDK. WHITEHEAD, Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland. Juno 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir —We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it hut right to inform you that ■we all (stuff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to return fo using oatmeal. It is without a doubt a splendid article of diet. : I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. -Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. __ Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30,1587. Mr John Lamh. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to let you know results Of your Patent Porridge Mai'on our youngest hoy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou d be got. but upon getting some Of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing wouid satisfy nim but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much; for him, and seeing it boing prepared cried until he got it. He is now strong and healthy, and cf a n eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER, Orphan Home, Parnell, May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meat, having used it for some time. The children all like.the Patent Porridge Meal.better than anything they havo had before. We,thank you for supplying a long-felt want— a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all tho most valuable properties of tho wheat.—l am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) E. NEARY, A Matron.
