DISCUSSED BY THE WOMEN.
Yesterdays Session Draws Forth
Bright and Entertaining Pa

Mrs. George E. Hayes Aims
giving as Considere d From a
Judicious Standpoint.

The session of the woman's congress
yesterday was opened with paper by
Mrs. Nj. r. Lewis en- 1.-The EvangeliZa-
ton or France Under Pere Hvacinthe."
The paper proved very interesting, con-
tanning description of how Pere Hya-
cinthe startled the religious world by
his protest against the manner of con :
voking the Vatican council, AID also his
defiance of the Roman church in con-
tracing his marriage with Nine. 10y
son. She said this union of lives had
been most perfect one. and that both
were working together for the success
OF this new religious movement. the
restoration of the Gallican church. Pere
Hyacinthe did not, said she, wish to bring
France within the Protestant fold. His
purpose was to make such reform with
in the Catholic church as would retain
the evangelical features that primarily
pertain to it, and reject the harmful eX-
creScence of later age. The Church
of Gaul, of which Pere Hyacinth is the
head. was never under Roman dOmina-
ton, since its foundation by st. John of
PatmOs. 1t is Catholic, but antl-Roman,
and believes in the universal religious
brotherhood of man. The Gallo church
labors under the disadvantage of no
state protection, and until this last year
did not have a Bible which was not
either Protestant or Roman. This last
year one has been complied by French
SavantS and sanctioned by the arch
bishop of Paris.
After the rendition of musical selec-
tons bright paper on the subject OF
Aims Giving" was read by Mrs. George
Z. Hayes.
In the course of her treatise she said:
thanksgiving, while it may be the eX-
preston, is never the true essence or
charity. If little interest for the poor
was shown by the giving as aims lit
tie help to find work would they not
soon be beyond the need of aims? From
the beginning until now, Christians of
all people have INDUCED in giving in
discriminate aims, and by so doing have
hlndered the work of scientific aims
giving. A very good motto to quote to
all people III the habit of almSgiVing. is
this: Help others, but help them to
help themselves l think that in Civ
ing aims we should do five things:
I'D Act upon knowledge acquired
by investigations; ~ relieve worthy
needs promptly; 81 prevent unwise
almsgivlng to the Unworthy; az raise
into independence every needy person
If possible; ~ make sure that no chill
dren grow up to be paupers-we may
always expect to have the poor with US,
but there is no need of pauperlsm."
A general discussion followed. after
which DR.. Adele s. Hutchinson read a
paper on Medical and Hospital Work
by Women" which proved very inter
esting. This was followed with a
paper by Miss Macarthur on the subject
of The kindergarten as the Nursery
