but in truth hardy laboring people are joining us faster than ever.Each one discovers here more than Columbus ever dreamed of, and not only does he lend his hand to the work, but he writes back to his little circle in over-crowded England, or over-burdened Germany, or threadbare France, and the more enterprising of _ his readers follow him to his new home.The iron trade, emigration and all the other forces that are buikling up our solid development, will prosper in 1882 as never before, and Wall street stocks and bonds\u2014I mean the bora fide securities\u2014are Ixuind to increase in both intrinsic and market value.I do not think the weeding out of worthless schemes has more than begun, but when it is well and thoroughly done, 1882 will witness the most remarkable \u2018boom\u2019 that Wall street has ever seen.\u201d\t, _ GRAM) m YEAR\u2019S ATTRACTION !

I feared in coming into contact with ths world I might grow cold, but I have been enabled to keep my resolve so far no matter ho*- pressing my other duties have been and feel more like keeping it than ever.I came to this decision owing to the inflsnee brought to bear on me in your meetings, and os the seed is all the time being sown I hope that under our Heavuily Father\u2019s care it will take deep root and redound to His own* glory.I feel as if my heaven were already begun, and that my faith is daily growing stronger.Although so far distant from you I feel as if I were one of your members, only in a different part of our Father\u2019s vineyard.\u201d The foregoing was written when the writer had been gone from Quebec four mouths.Eleven month* have elapsed and we hear from him again ; this time he has passed through deep waters of affliction and bereavement, but he writes \u201cI hope yet, however, to pursue my studies and devote my life if spared to the service of Jesus * * * * Thanks and glory be to tiod that we are already made meet for the inheritance of the saints in light, thank God we are saved by the blood and wc are made meet (not that we are going to be) so that we are able to rejoice now in the blessed assurance of eternal life.\u201d \\Ye thank God and take courage when we read such cheering news from one who sought Christ in our building.Testimony from others \u2014living testimony\u2014is given to the power in our meetings.The Sabbath morning meeting has been largely attended and an increasing nnmber of young n en have been led to take active part in it.There is no doubt that it is calculated to be a stepping-stone to the Church Prayer meeting, for young men will open their mouths in a young men\u2019s meeting who would never venture to pray audibly before their elders.It has been our aim ail along to make the exercises brief and varied, and to confine them almost exclusively to young men.The great need of a bettor instrument than we at present have for leading the song sei vice in these meetings has long been felt, and several kind friends have given money towards the purchase of an organ ; in all wo have fifty-seven dollars in hand with four more promised.We are also at liberty to sell the instrument at present in use, so that wo trust before long wc shall have saiioieut funds to supply what wc to maci require.For six whole years Mr.A.Biguell has acted as our orgaiiist at ihe morning meeting, and no member of the Association has contributed to the sucerm of this meeting more than he by faithful and untiring discharge of this self-imposed duty.A Bible Class was conducted on Sabbath afternoons for several months until the Secretary left for England.Several young men who did not belong to any other Bible Class and quite a number of strangers found their way to it.We hope it will be resumed at an early date.The Youths\u2019 Literary Cius* was given up, and a Boys\u2019 Bible Reading was instituted in its place.This has liecn largely attented, Mr.Wiggs, who has charge of it, shewing special capacity for the encouragement of boys.We held Mission meetings in Hcdleyville last winter in the house of a friend of the Association, and hope to go there again this winter.We have also promised to open a mission in 8t.Koch's early in the new year.Several meetings for Bible Reading, Prayer and a Praise Meeting were held at the Citadel.We always had good audiences aud marked attention.We expect to be allowed the privilege of conducting the same kind of meetings during the present winter.The shipping was visited all through the summer, aud as a rule our workers report courteous treatment, and in some cases cordial invitations to return and hold more services on the same ship.There were exceptions, but they were few and only served to shew the need of the work.AVhilat there were patients requiring our services in Jettrey Hale\u2019s Hospital, we continued them, but recently there have been few if any patients in that institution.Tim Marino Hospital mission has been well worked the past year.\u201cA Flower Mission\u201d is established, aud the yonug men report that the otter of the bright, beautiful bouquet* gave thorn invariably an opportunity for conversation, reading, prayer or the gift of .n tract.Some of the patients have côrrespond -ed with Mr.Kuhring, who was untiring m his etibrts to be of service to them, and his labour was not in vain.A variety of circumstances, combined to hinder us from visiting the gaol this season, not the least of which was the absence of the secretary, who made a speciality of this mission, and looked to its being constantly supplied with workers.The Protestant Horae has never been neglected, when there are only four Sabbaths m the month we have service there on two of them, and when there are five Sabbaths we hold three services per month.The old people always appear glad to see us, and we endeavour to make the service brief and hearty, so that they may look lor our return with pleasure.The Daily Prayer Meeting has had a most fluctuating attendance the past year.It seems impossible to impress the people with the knowledge that such a meeting exists.As usual dunng the winter months it is now held at 4 p.m.The week of prayerfor young men was observed, and we had large audiences for the time, but we would fain see the daily meeting stronger.Mr.Moody paid us a flying visit on his way to England, and although we had but half a day\u2019s notice of his coming, and the hour at which he spoke was 8 a.m.yet we had a good audience, and his address was listened to with marked attention.Our annual anniversary meeting was held for the first time in our own building, and we are under deep obligation to Rev.G.H.Wells, of Montreal for his presence with us on that occasion, and for the recent eloquent lecture given by lain under the auspices of the Bazaar Committee, the proceeds of which go to the rear-building fund ; also to Rev.A.B.Chambers, and other city ministers who took part in the exercises of the anniversary meeting.Our secretary obtained leave of absence for a visit to England, and was enabled to represent this Association at the world\u2019s conference of Young Men\u2019s Christian Associations held in Exeter Hall, July 30 to August 6.Mr.Cole had the honor to speak of our work before the conférence, and we have the satisfaction of knowing he spoke to the point and his words produced strong impressions on the minds of those who heard them, as we have been informed from several sources.His account of the conference proper, of the Lord Aiayor\u2019s reception of the delegates, of their visit to the seat of 8.Alorley, Esq., M.P.f and of many interesting facts connected with the conference, as well as sf the enthusiasm with which he was inspired by all he saw and heard, formed subject matter for a paper which Mr Cole read to us at one of our weekly meeting soon after his return.It was in the Wednesday evening meeting held in Exeter Hall that Mr.Chas.Fernand, Geneva, Switzerland, told of a young Swiss lad who had been led to Christ through the labors of the Quebec Association.This was cheering news, and ought to cause us to toil on unceasingly because we know not which shall prosper whether this or that, or whether both alike shall be good.How many of whom we may never hear will have cause to bless God forour faithfulness to them eternity will reveal.The membership of the Association has increased during,the year, notwithstanding the fact that by removals from the city we lose thirteen octree and twenty associate members ; by action of the General Committee for non payment of membership fees for above two years six names are removed ; by resignation two, and by death six, still we show an increase of eight, making a total membership of four hundred and fourteen, as against four hundred and six lastyear.Wc have only elected fifty-six this year, whereas last year we elected eighty, showing that there is room for us to exert ourselves in this matter, and in vite young men to become members.Mr.John Boomer was enthusiastic m his musical labors on every occasion when such were required, and although nota young man his devotedness to tho welfare of all which concerned us and his labor in our cause would nut many younger men to shame.He bore a long attRtiou with Christian fortitude, aud finally passed away traiting in the merits of his Saviour.Another member who has been called to the unseen world is Mr.W.J.Hossack.At the time of his death he was Secretary of the Young Men\u2019s Bazaar Committee He took a deep interest in the then proposed bazaar and worked bard for it, the fruit of his labor remaining to be sold after he had long done with this life.He was a skilful penman and frequently rendered good service in times when sach work was needed.His end came suddenly when away from home, but from one with whom he was intimate we learn it was not unexpected to him, and that he was not unprepared for such a solemn event.\u201cBe ye also ready\u201d comes as a voice from his grave to us, and \u201cWork whilst it is day for the night coineth.\" Only two have availed themselves of the life membership clause in our constitu tiou this year.We could wish that many who are now honorai y members would take a life membership, and so add to a permanent fund for Association purposes.The following has been the programme of our public meetings : January lltli, Lecture, \u201cEmerson the Thinker,\u201d Geo.Stuart, Jr., Esq.18th, Meeting for the foundation of a Debating Class.25th, Lecture, \u201cBermuda,\u201d Lt.-Col.Rhodes.February 9th, Address on Temperance 16th, Public Anniversary Meeting.\u201822nd, Meeting to discuss a Young Men\u2019s Bazaar.March 1st, Quarterly business meeting.15th, Lecture, \u201cTobacco,\u201d Rev.W.B.Clark.22nd, Lecture, \u201cProgress of Christianity amongst the Jews,\u201d Rev.E.A.W.King.April 5th, Evening of Song and Readings.26th, Evening of Song and Readings.May 10th, Meeting to elect delegates to Cleveland Convention.17 th, Conference relating to mission work especially amongst sailors.June 7th, Quarterly meeting and Presi dent's report of Cleveland Convention.October 4th, Report of The World\u2019s Conference of Young Men\u2019s Christian Associations, Thos.S.Cole.24th, Formation of Snow-Shoe Club.November 8th and 9th, Concert by Fiske University Jubilee Singers.15th, Meeting in connection with Week of Prayer, statement of International Work.24th, Benefit concert to Mrs.J.V\u2019incent Browne.29th, Opening of Young Men\u2019s Bazaar.Decemlnir (itli.Evening of readings, C.F Underhill of New\u2019 York.13th, Lecture \u201cWest-tnnii'tcr Abbey,\u201d Rev.Q.H.Wells.We have also had meetings for Bible study and conferences on special features of our work.The Committee having the Tuesday evening meetings in charge have secured sonic fourteen lectures and two evenings of readings for the coming months.We only hope our members and the public will shew their appreciation by crowding the room, ami in so far repaying the gentlemen who kindly undertake to instruct aud entertain us.A debating class was formed early in the year and held several interesting meetings.The way has not seemed plain to resume it so far this season.There is hope of establishing a class for the study of the French language early in the coining year.\\\\ e have organized a snow-shoe club, the younger members especially have availed themselves of it ; and we hope to record many pleasant tramps out, probably the snow shoe club of winter will become the rambling club of spring and summer mouths.We have not purchased any new books this year, hut through the kindness of friends, about one hundred and fifty volumes have liecn added.Hon.Geo.O\u2019kill Stuart, giving above one hundred volumes of very costly valuable works, among them being an entire set of the new edition of the Encyclopedia Britamca, It is encouraging to notice tiiat our library is lieing more largely used than over before.I^ess than three hundred volumes were issued last year, whilst this year aliove five hundred volumes have been in use, being more than a v lit me per member.Our reading room has always commanded the adiniratiou of visitors for the execllcut choice am 1 great variety of matter offered.Through the kindness of a friend, \u201cVisk\u2019s Floral Guide\u201d has been added, am) we have subscribed for tho Toronto Mail, Gonpel in all Land*, ami China'* Millions, still further enhancing the value of our reading room.Our parlours too have been supplied with books and engravings, games, chess,chequers, squads, solitaire and the like, and are always bright and cheerful, and present a way oi escape for any young man who dc-sins a pleasant place to spend his evenings free from vicious surroundings.The friends of temperance, feeling that something more might be done in the cau-c, held several meetings in our buildings, and organized \u201cThe Quebec Temperance Union,\u201d a society designed to embrace all who wish to see bounds put to this terrible evil, and whilst (piitc a separate organization from the association, the object aimed at is one with which as Christian workers we arc in deep sympathy, embracing as the union does all denominations.We have, when required, offered the use of our largo room for public meetings.Wc also gave the Coffee-room Temperance Society use of a small room for some time, as it too was undenominational.Never during any year have we had so little trouble with tramps ; a few hard cases have turned up, but concerted action prevent them from fixing themselves upon the community as formerly.The office work increases every year, and as we enlarge our borders, and endeavor to fill our proper place, it must he so.One feature has been especially prominent this year, namely, t\u2019.ic number of enquiries after young men who have left home.We are deeply indebted in secretaries of- other associations, especially that of New York, for attention given to repeated requests from us to look al ter boys and young men.It has happened twice that there has been consideraulo delay in getting news of those for whom we enquired, but in both cases it was not lack of zeal or care on the part of those to whom we applied, but want of forethought on the part of enquirer in not sending the number of house on streets miles in length.In one case the wrong name was given, and in a distant city a secretary called on seven different parties, involving miles of travel and much work, only for our Secretary to find out tiiat, not content with getting him to enquire, somebody else had been employed to write, and had given a different name aud address altogether, thus causing confusion and tailure.We have been made the chuuuelsof conveying help to youug men whose parents could not trust them with money, and we have been used in apparently rescuing one youug inebriate troni the path oi the destroyer and setting him in the way of earning his own living, a thing he had never expected to do.Too much money, and all his time with nothing to do, was ruining him.We wish we could record more successes.The following, from a mother whose pastor had written us coucerning her runaway boy, will speak for itself : \u201cI now sincerely thank you for the trouble you have taken respecting my son, who safely arrived in Liverpool the last week in August.*\t\u2022\t*\t* j think his experience will be a lesson to him for life.\u201d We were above a year seeking one young man, aud at last, when there seemed no hope of accomplishing our purpose, we got reliable information aud were able to gladden hearts across the sea with the news.8ome of the letters we receive are inexpressibly sad, revealing the deep down sorrow of many a parent\u2019s heart.We are alway* glad to be of service in this line.Young men whether members of the Association or not begin to appreciate a letter of introduction to secretaries of district cities and we have given twenty-five such letters this year.For one thing a youug man may be almost sure of getting a sate boardinghouse in any city if he finds the nouae ou tac Association register.This in itselt is no small advantage to a stranger ; beside this he may obtain reliable information aud find good companions in a strange city, and be sure of a hearty welcome to the'rooms.Strenuous efforts have been made to introduce The Watchman, the only paper devoted exclusively to Association work.The few who take it have received so much benefit from carefully watching what others are doing, ami have thereby gained practical hints for their own guidance.Their testimony is that they would not like to be with-oi\\t it.The subscription, one dollar per year, places it within the reach of all.We hope many will subscribe for it the coining year.Again it is our pleasing duty to thank our numerous friends tor many gifts and tavors bestowed during the year.The press of our city has kindly given us liberal notices under » all circumstances, and we tender the proprietors of the English papers our hearty thanks.\\Y e have our hearts filled with praise to God, tho great giver, for His mercy and forbearance, as welj as for His love in iiiing us for His glory in the advancement jrf His kingdom among young men.We will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever, with our mouths will we make known Tuy faithfulness to all generations.Respectfully submitted, John C.Thomson, President.Tuos.S.Cole, Secretary.December 20th, 1881.The, Fourth Annual Report of the Board oj Directors of the Quebec Young Men's Christian Association\u2014 Gentlemen,\u2014We are glad to report that duriug this first entire year in which our building has been opened, everything has gone smoothly with us.Wo have not hail occasion to hold stated meetings, but at the call of the Secretary have met when matters of any importance needed attention.We have changed caretakers twice, and trust we have now obtained a suitable man for the duties required of him.lu the few months he has been with us he has given entire satisfaction.With our stores all rented and the sum of two hundred dollars paid as rent by the Association, we are able to meet ordinary expenses.There are, we regret to say, several amounts still due on the part of subscribers to the present building which amounts we should be very thankful to obtain, as they would release us from all anxiety in relation to our financed.The Corporation having placed a gas lamp in freut of the building, it is our intention at an early date to procure some kind of shade for it, which shall distinguish our building.Wo hail hoped to nave been in a position to commence operations on the rear building ere this year closed, and with it our present contract, but until now the way has been shut np.Now, however, we entertain every hope that the coming year will see the erection of the Gymnasium Hall.When our Secretary was in England he became impressed with the idea tiiat if some of the friends of young men in that country knew exactly our position, they would aid us in our effort to complete the building.On his return he laid tfie matter before us, and Messrs.Gibb, Dobell and the Secretary were appointed a committee to draft a circular letter for English friends.Then the question arose os to whom would represent us and receive English subscriptions.From the kindly interest evinced in our cause by Samuel Morley, Esq., M.P., when he heard of our work at the London Conference, and also by his visit, we decided to ask him to be good enough to allow us to use his name.Mr.Morley graciously granted our request, and as a token of his sympathy sent us the generous gift of fifty pounds sterling.His son also sent us a promise of five pouuds sterling.We have sent him a number of circulars which we hope he will be able to place among those in a position to aid us, and wo ore also sending the same circular to individuals, hop ing that hearts and hands may be opeued and wc may obtain at least a third of what we require.\\Vc belive if this can be accomplished the rest will be comparatively easy, tor already Mr.Morley\u2019s gift has provoked to good will some of our friends in this city, and they have expressed a determination to contribute when there is hope of accomplish ing our purpose.We have received from the estate of the late Francis Laurie, Esq., the sum of two hundred dollars.Mr.Morley's gift amounting to two hundred and forty dollars and eighty-threc cents, aud this sum has been increased by the proceeds of the Young Men\u2019s bazaar recently held, netting six hundred and seventy dollars, aud nett proceeds of Rev.G.Well\u2019s lecture, thirty-nine dollars fifty cents ; making a total of seven hundred and nine dollars fifty cents for same fund, which added to subscriptions before received, leaves lying at interest the sum of fourteen hundred ami thirty-eight dollars and fifty-nine cents specially set aside for the rear building.We return our hearty thanks to tho young men who originated and carried out the bazaar to so successful an issue.We have also about seven hundred dollars which was premised two years ago upon which to rely as scon as we sign the contract.There has been much prayer offered for wisdom aud guidance ia this matter, and it does seem as if the time for us to raise and build is not far distant.It was our intention to have had a parlour conference with this object in view, and Messrs.Russell Sturgis, jr., of Boston, andR.R.McHurney, of New York, were prepared to come on ; but circumstances have himdered so far.We expect all being well to have these gentlemen with us and to carry out our design in March next.Owing to the illness of Mrs.Gibb, our chairman has been obliged to leave us for a while.We trust that the stay of himself and his wife in Europe ami the medical help obtained there may result, under the blessing of God, in Mrs.Gibb\u2019s restoration to health.As in the past wo have sought and obtained help of God, so we would for the future \u201ccommit our way with the Lord.Trust also in Him and He shall bring it to puss.\u201d Rich.R.Dobell, Acting Chait man ;
