Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This historical volume, meticulously researched by its author, explores the growth of the Young Men's Christian Association from its humble beginnings in 1858 to its established presence as an indispensable resource for Christian young men within the city of Chicago. The text is divided into two sections: the first period and the second period. The first period, lasting from 1858 to 1888, details the early operations of the organization, its efforts in providing thoughtful diversions for young men, its involvement in the Civil War and the work it did as a spiritual force in the lives of young men who were struggling to find their way in an increasingly complex and populated city. Due to the rapidly changing nature of Chicago, a metropolitan plan was adopted to restructure and expand the organization's efforts. This second period, beginning in 1888, brought forth new departments within the organization, enabling it to provide specialized services for young men of diverse needs and backgrounds. The author concludes that this book provides an in-depth look at the historical development of the Young Men's Christian Association in Chicago, highlighting its unwavering mission to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and physical well-being of young men in the Windy City.
