Rev. Hiram Vrooman Beliovos that Sim
uItanoous Action of An Good People
Alone Can Destroy Social Wrongs.
Rev Hiram Vrooman. of Baltimore,
gave a lecture on "rhe Outlook for
Social Reform" in the New-Century
Club parlors last night. Only small
audience was present. but it was an
appreciative one. He said that IN every
large city in this land are bad tenement
houses and little tumbledown buildings
that are unfit for the occupancy OF civil
lized people, and in which virtue and
modesty are sure 20 be destroyed, and
where murderers are raised and thieves
educated
Crime is increasing more than twice as
fast as the population. Ii is evident TO
all who realize evento some small degree,
the state Of existing social conditions,
that reform is needed, that improvem lent
is demanded. The evils are widespread
and intrenched In organized financial in.
teresis So that individual work can
accomplish very little unless it is done in
co.oDeration with others. Simultaneous
action on the part Of all good people can
alone destroy some Of the greatest of our
social wrongs Upon the common basis
Of morality all churches and all religious
and semi religious people can unite.
After the lecture there was q discussion
in which Rev. P. b. Cabeli, Rev. q. f..
Thompson, Rev. A. p Bowser. Mrs. A.
d. Warner Miss Madge Hilles, A. d.
Warner and James K Field took part.
