4 IIE Young Woman ' s Christian Association of the S. U. I. was • organized during the last part of the fall term of 1886. But there - were only a few girls who could carry on the work, and although the organization was kept up for a short time, very little work was undertaken, and before the end of the year the Association was a only. During the spring of 1888 the work was taken up again. The first meeting was held Sunday afternoon in Miss Call ' s room, with about teen girls present. The society was reorganized and the officers elected. Miss Evangeline Rankin was chosen president. A plan of Bible study was proposed and carried out during the year. The meetings were held at the rooms of the different girls, and although the attendance was small on account of that old excuse, no time, thorough and earnest work was done. The next year the Association met at Mrs. North ' s every Sunday at r. m. for systematic Bible study. There was an increase in the attendance and much greater interest was taken. We spent a great part of the year studying the book of Acts. It was not until last year, 1889-90, that we undertook to hold Gospel meetings, part of the time combined with Bible readings. Last year we met in the Methodist Church, this year in the gational. Our Association has never been so large in numbers or in asm as it would be if our members did not have, besides, their regular hurch duties to perform. But still it has far exceeded the hopes of those who first organized it, and the interest has been growing continually though slowly. This year, in addition to our regular Sunday afternoon meetings, two classes have been organized for Bible study. The Y. W. C. A. has a share in the new building, and we look ward with pleasure to the time when we can hold our meetings in our own rooms. Then we shall expect to do more work and have greater results. OFFICERS. Salome Dugan, President. Kate Wickham, Vice President. May Gaymon, Corresponding Secretary. Anna Bailey, Recording Secretary. Effie Forest, Treasurer.
