Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago: 1858-1898"From whatever side we approach the magnificent edifice the Young Men's Christian Association has been rearing, we shall find it the most stately temple to the power and prowess of unsectarian Christianity erected in modern times." - Harper's Weekly."It would be very congenial to me to dwell upon the wide and beneficent influence of the Chicago association throughout the whole brotherhood." - Richard C.
