APPLIED CHRISTIANITY.
Rev. Joseph Reynolds Method for
Relieving Poverty.

BosToN, Nov. 15.-This evenings ses.
sion OF The Episcopal Congress was largely
attended. The topic of the evening was
"Hcw to Relieve the Poor Without
PauperiZing Them"
Robert L. Payne said: Charity must
relieve worthy need promptly, fttin gly
and tenderly; prevent unwise aims to the
unworthy and make sure that no children
grow up paupers. Charity is in making
the relations of life sweeter and softer and
tempting the rich to enjoy noble use Of
their wealth in using it for the benefit of
the poor"
Rev. George Nelson said: "What the
shivering poor need is sympathy, a sense
of brotherhood that makes us all one in
Christ"
Rev. Joseph r. Reynolds said: "What
is the cause of poverty and pauperism
La one word-sin. Sin is committed by
the church and state when they allow or
sanction the enactment of laws contrary
to the divine laws. The remedy is applied
Christianity."
