Y.M.C.A. Monthly Bulletin, Vol. VIII, No. 1.

Description:

April 1885 issues of the newsletter Y.M.C.A. Monthly Bulletin published by the Detroit Y.M.C.A. The cover cautions, "Detroit, No. of Young Men, 23,000. No. of churches, less than 100. No. of saloons, over 1,000. An increase in saloons in 12 months of 275. Looking at it in this light do you think that any active organization on the side of Right should go out of existence?" A Y.M.C.A. building in Montreal is pictured on the cover, and one in Boston is pictured on the second page. Several letters from around the country to L.F. Newman, the General Secretary of the Detroit Y.M.C.A. discussing the organization's importance are on the first two pages as well. The third page contains a list of donors and their gifts for a "new Y.M.C.A. home," as well as a calendar of upcoming events including lectures and concerts. Advertisements are on the back page
