Mrs. Williams became so elated over her sway that she unolish and could not be done, but gratified Mrs. Williams's whim by calling the ladies together for al affairs. The majority, in fact all but Mrs. Williams, agreed with Mrs. Grant that they had no pe Jefferson's code of official etiquette. Mrs. Williams said she, for one, would not make the firs Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase died, and General Williams's name, on account of his ability as a juiolent speech against the confirmation of General Williams's name, making many charges against Mrs. Mrs. Williams, accusing her of numberless peccadilloes, acceptance of presents without General Williams'General Williams's knowledge from persons who had cases before the Department of Justice, presumption, and other unde person of the wife of the Chief Justice.

ling those of the average clever boys of the best public schools. One named Toomis was a born mathematician, another was famous for retentiveness of memory. George Williams was unusually distinguished for quick comprehension, while Billy, with his big head and lofty brow, astonished Her Majesty's Inspector, who prophesied great tir condemnation of the smallest fault we committed. When I came to think of that beast Will Thomas, and that imp Davies, and that tale-bearer and mischief-maker Williams, my gorge rose against them, and I felt that the circumstances of Enoch's life were not like mine. However, I made a grand effort to free myself from my vanited myself for a season to make the sacrifices demanded of me. I championed ugly Will against his oppressors, and suppressed my scorn of Davies. I strove to like Williams, though I feared he was incorrigible. I sought to surprise each of them with good offices, and in the process endured much contumely, because human beings are s

Christian associations, young men's societies organized for the purpose of providing for the social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual advancement of young men. The first association of this character was established in London, in 1844, by George Williams. The first society in the United States was established in New York City, in 1852. Since then similar societies have sprung up throughout the civilized world. In 1900 there were 5,075 associations in the world, of which 1,429 were in North America, principally in the United States. The total membership of the North American societies was 228,568, with 344 buildings, valued at $19,847,930. They had 656 libraries, containing 474,685 volumes; employed 1,275 general secretaries and other paid officials; and expended for all purposes $2,779,733.
Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Young men's Christian associations, (search)
Young men's Christian associations, Organizations of young men in the different cities, demanding a profession of Christianity in their active, and good moral character in their associate members, and working by methods in harmony with Christianity for the physical, social, mental, and spiritual improvement of their members, and of young men in general. An organization called Young Men's Christian Association was first formed in London, England, by George Williams, in 1841. The movement extended to the United States and Canada in December, 1851, when societies were formed at Montreal, and Boston, Mass. About twenty-four associations were added during the next two years, and during the next ten years the number reached 200. At the first convention, held in Buffalo, N. Y., June 7, 1854, a confederation was formed, with a central committee, and a yearly convention. This form of affiliation continued till the time of the Civil War. During the war the United States Christian Com

We were both looking for advices from home. From there we passed on to the famous Morley House, and thence, taking leave of him, I stayed a while at the Paternoster Row. There I saw Mr. Hodder, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, whom I met in the United States. He took me to Sir George Williams, who was the founder of the Young Men's Christian Associations of the world, and whom Queen Victoria knighted for this, the magnificent work of his life. He appeared very glad to meet me again, for we had been together in Germany, and invited me to a lunch. He was still intensely interested in the Y. M. C. A. work, especially just then in France. To this work he was constantly making contributions. Sir George appeared to be a man of decided business ability, and was always remarka
