Among other new plans, the Local Union
has planned for and organized Bible
class which Mr.. Baird. the secretary o. the
Y. NJ. G. A, has kindly consented to

The following circular is prepared for
general distribution. The matter pre-
sented deserves the hearty support of the
people generally:
"Ths is name given to the work of a

committee consists of Rev X. W. Rhames,
Mrs. t. S. Everett, Mrs. George L. Doug
lass, Mrs u NJ. johnson and Mrs. NJ. l..
Carver. Through them the Humane So
ciety presents the plan Of organization
and needs OF the work so that all may sat-
isfy themselves OF the spirit, safety and
effectiveness or this movement, which it
is hoped may become permanent.
First: The city has assigned room in
the city hall to the Humane society where
the agent of the United Charities work
can be found during certain hours, daily,
to receive applications for aid and offers
of assistance in the work
Second: An information bureau will be
Established at the Humane society's office
for general use. This will be of great
service by bringing qaick and effective re-
lief TO the deserving on the one hand and
by preventing pauperizing effects and FREE
quent impositions on the other.
Third: The county has an arrangement
with the Proper officers by which aid can
be obtained.
Fourth: Annual tickets of cooperative
mem Oership Will be issued TO all persons
assisting in the United Charities work,
either by personal service or by contribu-
ton, emitting the holder to attend all
public meetings and lectures given for the
good of the work. inspect the accounts
and records of the committee, and receive
the circulars. stated reports. etc.
Fifth: With this plan we feel justified
In asking for cooperative membe from
the citizens in general and especially from
the church and benevolent organizations
OF the city. We hope TO enroll Il large
number of active workers and liberal con-
trIbutors.
Finally: The spirit of this work is the
spirit ST Him who Went about doug good
1t offers a safe medium for health, wealth
and happiness To show their care for sick
ness, SORROW, misfortune anu suffering
And if the good people will do their part,
be 1t much or little, the results here will
not be less satisfactory than those attained
IN other places under like plans.
