WM. GUEST, F. G. S.,
REV. J. D. WELLS, D. D.
American Tract Society
New York
TO
GEORGE WILLIAMS, ESQ.
TREASURER OF THE LONDON ASSOCIATION,
AND
To the various Members of the Young Men’s Christian Associations in the United Kingdom and America:
To you I beg to offer the four following addresses—they may be helpful in your service for young men. Thousands there are who watch your Associations with deep and grateful interest. By some persons, it may be, your aims are misunderstood. I have never learned that you condemned other literary and recreative associations; but you have felt that there was room for one distinctively Christian. You do not frown on joy and pastime; you do not disparage literary education; but you have not been ashamed to avow that your object is to save young men from irreligion, and to promote among yourselves spiritual and Christian culture. To not a few it therefore appears that not only are your associations among the very noblest, but that they preëminently meet the demand of these times. Reading-rooms and opportunities for social enjoyment are doubtless most desirable, but it is true piety that is the safety and mainspring of prosperity to a community.
