The Churche. Propp~a Relief
Measures.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-For
the purpose of more Systematically
the destitution which
is found to exist in such alarming
in this city, represent
atives of churches were invited to
meet last evening at the residence
of Rev. DIR. F. f. Jewell, 1913 Mis-.
sion street, to advise and agree
upon some measure by which re-
ligious bodies can act in the work
of benevolence in concert. Such
action has now almost become
necessary, not only from the
of the work to
be done, but also to re-
duce to minimum the
possibility of imposition. The So
cieties represented were the Cen
trail M. E. Church, st. Johns
Church, First Congrega-
tional, Plymouth Congregational.
Third ngregational, United
Presbyterian, Grace M. E. Church
and the Union Square Baptist
Church. During the Conference it
was ascertained that, in a number
of cases, people had imposed upon
the charity of Churches by draw
ing abundant supplies from several
of them at the same time. The
discussion resulted in the adoption
of the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of
the eight churches represented here
this evening, that, in order to pro-
mote a more effective and econom-
ical relief of the widespread desti-
tuition now existing among us, the
city should be districted and as
signed to committees from the sew
eral churches, and also that the re-
lief to be given should be divided
into the following departments
fuel, rent, free lunch and
provisions-with headquarters at
the respective churches.
The convention then adjourned
to assemble again at some early
day. The delegates, in the mean
time, have reported to theii
the step taken, and are
receiving further instructions
thereon. 1t is expected that, at the
next meeting, most of the churches
of the city will be represented.
