Manchester Unity.

P. G-The Manchester Unity was organized
in 1913, the result of a secession by 4 number
of brethren residing in Manchester from Lon
don organization. The status of this order
January l, 1898, shows the membership TO be
T09.403, gain of 13, SIG for the year. During
the year 46.721 new members were admitted,
of which 81, 2,651 were under % years of age;
1924 died and 23.O5O were suspended. Not
withStaDding that this order admits at 49, and
that the largest portion Of its membership are
OF young age. the death rate is much higher
than Tue Odd Fellows of This country
being 1.40 per 1000, while the American
death rate averages about 1 per cent only.
Those who advocate the danger Of admitting
members over 45 years of age NAV get some
points to reflect over by studying the history OF
this old order so far as its death-rate is con-
cerned, and perhaps be willing TO concede that
the position taken by US for many years that
man OF hfty who can pass good medical eX-
animation is as good risk for an order for the
duration OF fraterDal life eight years. as inan
OF any other age Is correct.
This order has juvenile branch admitting
under ] 1S. which has 1349 societies. with S2,-
242 members ana assets of S450,000.

The Progress Of Socialism.

The progress of socialism is making
the Duke of Cambridge sadder-it could
not of course make him a wiser-man.
1t was very sad, he said at charity
dinner, to think that the masses were
led to believe that they could benefit
themselves by pulling down the classes
In this world, continued his royal
highness, OF course it was impossible
for all of us to be on level, for if all
were made equal one day some would be
superior on the morrow. Fortunately
the world was governed and ought to be
governed by common sense, and he hoped
it would always continue to be.
But the duke forgets two things. The
first is that it is quite possible to imagine
new order Of society under which those
who would be superior on the morrow"
would be so in virtue of merit and not of
birth. And the second is that under the
existing order Of society, though proved
capacity can often ascend, no effective
means--as Professor Huxley somewhere
laments-has yet been found for making
proved incapacity descend. Westmin-
s5er Gazette.

YOUNG WoMAN'S G. A.
THE AssoCIATIoN ORGANIZED AND
WELL OEFICERED.
The Board Of Directors-An Outline OF
the Exoellent Work which 1t Is
Proposed VIII Be Done
for the Members,

At recent meeting Of the Young
Women's Christian association the fol-
lowing board OF managers was elected
for the ensuing year: Mrs. q. ID.
Mathuss, president; DR.. Rose Talbot
Bullard, Miss Emma Ridge and Mrs. s.
v. Landt, vice-presidents; Mrs. q. W..
White, recording secretary; Mrs. s. E.
Sweet. treasurer; Mrs. Anna J. Stai-
ford, corresponding secretary; Mrs. w.
]. Chichester, Miss A. Widney, Miss A.
Keyser, Miss Clara Hull, Mrs. w. o.
Patterson, Miss Lizzie Oliver, Miss Jen-
ME Bristol, Miss Charlotte Breakey,
Mrs. r. j. Forsythe, Mrs. E. A. Boards
lee, Miss Cora latham.
The interest in this important work
has continued to grow ever since the i'm
petus given at the convention held some
weeks since. The association expects
soon to be located in convenient quar-
ters and ready to begin aggressive work
among the young women OF the city.
Application has been made to the
international committee for q general
secretary and an efficient young woman
has been promised to assume charge OF
this vastly important field. The good a
young woman may do in such position,
in training for christian work, in con-
ducting Bible study, classes, counseling
and befriending young women, adviaing
with the board and committees, is OF in
eetimable value. The association will
endeavor to afford practical benefit
through it's various departments.
The gymnasium department will af.
ford calisthenicd drills, with varied exer-
cises, health talks and lectures by
women physicians. young women school
teachers, seamstreeses, those confined at
the desk all day, or any lacking proper
exercise will find in this department
pleasant and healthful recreation.
The educational department will open
classes in the common English branches,
stenography, bookkeeping, literature,
plain sewing. dressmaking, cooking or
any other lines as desired.
Through the social department pleas
ant entertainments will be provided to
members and friends, such as lectures,
concerts, mueicals, etc. There will also
be one evening each week devoted to
games and amusements, when young
women can be assured OF pleasant and
homelike time.
The religious department will conduct
Bible classes, hold prayer services and
general gospel meetings.
For the strangers coming to the city
there will always be welcome at the
rooms and assistance will be afforded in
securing boarding houses and employ
ment. 'anf
With the parlors and reading room
kept every day and evening it is hoped
many young women will find here a
pleasant place to spend the noon hour
or evening time with their friends. 1t
will be the aim of the association to af-
ford to all the advantages they desire,
and the cooperation of every young
woman is asked to make the work
strong and efficient. Application
blanks for membership may be OBJ
tanned of Mrs. G. W. White, secretary
Of the board, at 645 South Flower street.
