CHARITY AND HELP.

THE AIM OF THE CHARITY AND
HELP DEPARTMENT OF THE EP-
WORTH LEAGUE.
With all due honor and respect
to the other two departments, we,
the Charity and Help committees,
claim that we have the widest,
grandest and most important work
OF the whole League. Our Savior
Himself inaugurated this depart
ment. His great aim was to help
the sorfowing, the poor, the sick
not only the sick in body, but
the sick Of soul. We, His follow
crs, have made this our aim, and,
with our notices before US, "Look
Up, Lift Up" "All for Christ" are
striving to do the work He COM
missi0ned us to do nearly nine
teen hundred years ago. But
some ono will say, the devotional
committee is the most important.
We fully realize the importance Of
THE committee, but we claim that
the charity and help committee
has q better chance for doing de-
votiopal work than the devotional
committee itself. People have

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Aug. 26.-In 1890, when
Henry l.. Higginson presented Harvard with
twenty acres of land on the west bank OF the
Charles, in memory Of those who gave up their
college work and lives to save their country,
nobody believed that IL could be converted into
an athletic field. II was nothing but n marsh.
which with every high tide became submerged.
But since that date the athletic association,
with the help OF tho alumni, have put about
$4,000 into the field, and now work Is we'll
under way which will give Harvard athletes
one OF the finest Fairgrounds In the world.
The first step In the conversion Of this swamp
into an athletic 6"ld was to surround the whole
fold with n line OF dykes or levees to keep tho
Charles in it's channel. Then the whole twenty
acres we're filed, first with coarse stones. then
gravel and n top ~surfaceo Of loan. with n complete
system Of drainage. so that the naturally soRRy
ground dries quickly after heavy rains.
When this had been done tho football 1old
was transferred from It's former position, on
Jarvis Field, to tho new ground; not In its pres.
ent position, but parallel and close to Harvard
street. A locker building was erected in the
corner, by the entrance. whore dressing rooms,
shower baths and lockers for 1900 students
were provided. But even then only football
was played there. The baseball diamonds and
running track were on Holmes Field, and the
