CHARITY AND THE CHURCH
Discussed at the Associated Char
tiles ParIOr Conference.

tiles ParlOr conference.
1.-THE Church and Charity was dis
cUssed last night at the thirty-fourth par
lor conference of the Associated Chart
ties of ST. Paul, held at the home of
D. NJ. Robbins 243 Summit avenue There
were fifty present especially interested
Rev. Samuel G. Smith presided
Although the title implied a separation
the speakers representing the laity and
clergy alike refused to admit a separa-
ton of the church and charity.
Rev James D. Paxton, speaking on
THE Mother of Charity" asserted the
birth of brotherly love to be ccntem-
poraneous with the beginning of the
church. THE Romans and the Greeks, -
said the speaker, ''had no hospitals, but
when the church once obtained foothold
infirmaries were established as important
parts Of the monasteries. The church
was thus the foundation of all charities
afterwards organized" DR.. Paxton re-
ferred to the danger that was to be APP
pretended from the gigantic proportions
charity had now assumed, and asserted
that the only safeguard was co-opera-
ton.
Rev. FIR. ]. J. Lawler dealt with the
problem 1.-THE Sick Poor" 1.-The hos
pital,' he said, lis one of Christianity's
creations. Paganism had no hospital-it
needed none. It's cruel heart never
throbbed with pity for the victims of dis
ease. What need was there then of hos
pitfalls when infanticide, murder and
slavery were approved methods of dis
posing of helpless and disabled? Chris
tianity, which was established to provide
for mans happiness in the world to come,
had succeeded more than any other in
stitution in contributing to mans hap
piness even in the present life"
The hospital was the best place to care
for the sick poor, for there accommoda-
tiOns could be secured that could not be
had at home, and there was the addi-
tional value of the trained nurse. my
ideal of a hospital" concluded the speak
er, lis one that should be free of charge
It obtained in the past and would stilf OBJ
tain had the state kept its hands off
charity
This latter remark provoked some dis
cussion. Miss CARRIER, assistant secretary
of the Associated Charities in Mime
apolis, thought every one, rich and poor
alike, should be taught to prepare for
the contingencies of life, sickness, death
and the like, and that no one should eX-
pect any service free.
Rev A J. d. Haupt spoke on Co
operation" Organized charity in ST. Paul,
he asserted, was proving great blessing
to the community, for it was lessoning
the number Of those who Systematically
prey on the benevolent. IF a man does
not work. neither does he eat" was a
Scriptural Injunction to be obeyed.
Brief addresses were also made by DR..
Smith and Rev. A. N. Alcott. of Mime

draft Commander Wood saw his oppor-
tunlty to run the Petrol close In shore off
the entrance to the harbor at CaYlte dur
ing the battle Of Manila bay. The Span
ish ships that remained afloat had sought
shelter under the guns Of the forts at
CaVite, and Dewey's ships could not get
at them. The little Petrel however,
steamed boldly into the harbor entrance,
sunk the remaining Spanish boats and
then paid his respects 10 the Spanish
forts in such fashion to silence them.
The exploit was remarkable exhI-
bition of cool daring and skill, and
WOODS brother officers made no secret OF
their belief that his feat was the most
daring and successful of any connected
with the memorable naval battle The
board of naval rewards recommended
that for his eminent and conspicuous

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
One I'm Prospect for Next Saturday
Evening.

An eclipse of the moon is expected
Saturday, which may become total. At
5:45 D. m the moon will enter the shadow
of the earth and will arrive at the maxi
mrm of observation at 1926, leaving the
shadow of the earth shortly after 9
o'clock.
Under the proper atmospheric condi-
tons the face of the moon will appear
like large copper disc. This peculiar
color at the time of greatest observation
is due to the diffused rays of sunlight
which are refracted from the atmosphere
of the earth to the face of the moon.
The eclipse will be visible over nearly
all the United States, in Europe and in
scme parts of Africa.

any period after it's termination? Not at
all. AS before, so after, that war we
protected our shipping commerce by judi
cious national legislation. This we con-
tinued to do until the close Of our Civil
war. Since that time we have left our
shipbuilders and merchants in foreign
trade to shift for themselves, and the re-
suit we see in the fact that the American
flag. except when now seen on one of our
war vessels, is stranger in every port
of the commercial world.
The responsibility must rest on congress
if relief is not afforded during the present
session. Those who offer opposition to
any reasonable provision addressed to the
restoration of our merchant marine will
take a grave responsibility which the peo-
pie will not hesitate to measure We
have run protection-mad in every other
form of internal manufacture in the inter-
val. But a single measure in the inter-
est of our shipping, save that alone
for the placing of certain transatlantic
steamers of foreign build on our registry,
we have not adopted. Thirty-iive years

gin life as Mr.. Menage does, with the
memories and characteristics OF the
tabled Midas, but without the means
whereby to command the good offices of

heart-rending. But there is no evidence
before the world that this great ex-finan-

of yore at least considerable of cog in
the great machine of business and

made millions once may make them
again, with the judicious all of those
who are content with thousands And
that aid will surely come. In a COM
munity in which Mr.. Manages name is
household word, and where, as recent

goodly number of persons who are will
