The lecture season under the auspices of
the National Reform Institute closed last
evening at the Trinity Reformed church, on
West Lloyd street, with a lecture by Prof J.
r. Dill on "The Solution of the Labor Ques-
ton" 1t was anticipated that the title of the
subject would attract large attendance of
worlIingmen, but the audience was composed
largely of women,
After the discourse the object and plans of
the Institute were explained, tracts were dis
tributed and the audience was accepted as a
committee of the whole to institute a branch
for local work. Under the direction of Prof
Dill the following officers were elected

formed church 1st Vice President, Rev J. F.
Meredith, Methodist Episcopal church,

Prof Dill then announced that each de
nomination in the town was entitled to a
vice president in the branch and the following
elections were made Rev John Bath Primi-
tive Methodist church Rev. c. w. Sechrist
English Lutheran church Rev. R. NJ.
Lichtenwalner, United Evangelical church;
A. Glover, Presbyterian church John
Starr, Trinity Reformed church.
The branch has the privilege at any time
to add to the list Of vice presidents whenever
any denomination desires representation.
As a helping committee for work among
the women is necessary for successful work,
the local branch of the Young Women's
Christian Temperance Union was elected an
auxiliary committee.
Prof. Dill stated the local branch will also
be in direct touch with the National Institute
and whenever any attempt is made to en-
croach upon the Sabbath laws in any state all
branches Of that state will be at once notified
by telegraph, so that they may have time to
send representatives to the field of action.
A week is to be devoted to the Institutes
work at st. Clair next November.
Address of Prof Dill ON the labor question
was accompanied by an explanation of a
chart outlining the subject. The speaker
said that the joint welfare of capital and
labor rested on two commandments (1) Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God" and (2) Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," and that
when these commandments are adhered to as
| they should be all capital and all labor shall
be employed Many people, the speaker
said, looked upon the improved machinery of
the modern age as a curse to the working
classes but it is only the carrying
out Of Gods promise to relieve the world
of drudgery. The time will come when
machinery will be invented to do the work
/ of twenty or more men with even the I'M
proved machinery Of the present time What
will be the situation then? God has designed
that the surplus capital and labor will be
turned into a higher sphere Prof Dill said
he believed that it is Gods intention in ime
to cause one portion of the wealth of the
world to be invested in industrial and com
mercial interests, another to the intellectual
and moral training of the world, and the third
to the spiritual training such as missionary
work. These vocations will employ all the
labor. The change will be realized when the
holders of wealth shall experience a change
of heart and follow in the footsteps of Stepher
Girard and Mccormick by establishing
homes, schools and colleges that viii require
the employment of instructors and other as
sistants.
