My best guess is this was the meeting to establish the UP Church on Balvicar Street (just off Pollokshaws Road), which later became Church of Scotland, then (and currently) Queen’s Park Baptist Church. There was a meeting to establish the church in June 1872 (this advert), the Mission Hall was opened in June 1873, and the church by 1876. So I guess it was a temporary meeting room on the site of (or near) the current church.

Mission Hall, Pollokshaws Road’: Glasgow Herald, 26 Jun 1872. Do we know what happened to that?

Good to see it slowly coming back to life.

Fantastic

Nothing to do with any other group by that name just youths who met in this wee hall. I have never met anyone else who remembers this info. but I have remembered it since the 1950s although I was never a member. This might not be particularly noteworthy but its still a wee bit of the history of the building for anyone interested.
