More About United Charities.

Editor Daily Item:
In your issue of the 10th inst, under the
caption "United Chsrities," there appeared
an article from the psn Of Nr. C. N. Hurst, Jr.
l had hoped to have seen the subject takeo up
by others.
No one can but be Impressed with the fact,
that in our midst we have large number Of
unfortunates. worthy of our help. For a
commuuity to remain dumb to their entreaties
OF deaf to their appeals is, criminal, az we'll as
inhumau. On the other hand, the daily spec-
tacle is presented of "professional paupers'
walking the streets, entering our places OF
business, and sparing not the privacy of our.
homes, in their demands for living which
they seem to tbink society owes the o. To
one who has studied the duty of living ing
its different phases, the truth is self-evidenl
that this latter class owes, not only its main
fenance, but also, it5 existence TO society
itself. There is wide distinction between
pauper and beggsr, the former only asks
for living; the latter only lives to beg.
We generate this latter species in maintaining
their ancestors by our indiscrimfnate and un-
systematic giving, and. not only curse their
hos,erity by robbing them of their manhood
and emasculating their energies, but also
hurt society by imposing upoo the world
class of rapa:ious pluuderers. We need
recognition of the principle that, "God helps
those who help themselves"
Let us organize our forces along the line of
the Associated Charities Society," as is
done 10 our larger cities; let those who are
worthy receive help from this society, and
let those who are vsgrants be prosecuted So
such and be made to render to the public, .
service which shall entitle them to eat the
pablic's bread.
In ny pastoral visitation anouR the poorer
classes of the community, daily see the
shortco nings of any effort at uneystematizsd
giving, and, believe, thst it is cow 10 osdsr
for those interested 10 charitable work ic our
commuuity to band themselves together, Civ.
ing where help is deserved, and Withholding
where i, ie nndeserved. Yours very truly.
