CHAPTER XXIII
After several weeks of careful investigation and study of the conditions
and needs of Boyd City, along the lines suggested by Rev. Cameron in
his address before the Young People's Union, a plan to meet these
conditions was at last fixed upon, the main points of which were as
follows: That a society or company be organized and incorporated to
furnish places of recreation and education for young men and women;
the place to be fitted with gymnasium, library, reading rooms, social
parlors, a large auditorium and smaller class-rooms for work along
special lines. There should also be a department where men out of
employment might earn something to eat and a place to sleep, by working
in wood-yards, coal mines, factories, or farms connected with the
institution; and a similar place for women. It also provided for a
medical dispensary and hospital for the care of the sick. The whole
institution was to be under the charge of some Christian man who should
deliver an address on the teachings of Christ every Sunday afternoon
in the large auditorium.
Besides this, Bible classes could be organized by different workers
as they chose, with this restriction, that no teaching of any particular
sect or denomination should be allowed, and only the life and laws of
Jesus Christ should be studied.
