ASSOCIATED CHARlTIES.

Thoso who are Interested in charity

and scope OF the Associated Charities
society. Although q has been explain
ed publicly and privately, II Is not 50
clearly understood as To avoid some
suspicion that 3, may Internationally
prejudice some religious charities 90
their disadvantage.
The project Is not a new one. Il
is the outcome OF necessity and good
sense The thinking people OF all de-
nominations in the large cities recog-
nize the fact that charity Is danger
Gus factor in our social life. The mass
of people, however unfortunate In
worldly matters. do not resort 10 char
liable aid. But 1t Is an undisputed
fact also that many who are forced
10 resort to II, quickly lose their pride
and self-respect, and abuse the kind
ness and generosity Of good people.
So benevolence makes paupers. The
object OF this association Is to prevent
so far as II can only abuse. It acts as
a detective looking for fraud. 1t en-
courages enlightened charity by re-
moving the suspicious Of those who
like 10 he generous, that their money
may be wasted.
Every prosperous person is under
obligation to the community to aid the
unfortunate. But there la a wisdom
in giving and a foolishncss in giving.
Some twenty years ago, cloud OF
tramps passed over the eastern and
northern States. Able bodied men
travelled from town to town, and the
kind women fed them. Then the tramps
became impudent, and their numbers
increased. Outrages followed. After
some years OF gross imposition, the
Law irtcrfored, and threatened the
tramps, and they disappeared.
Out OF these and other abuses Of the
generosity OF the conslderate has come
the need of intelligent charity.
1t is needless to say that We shall
have special need Of this society here.
Causes which need not be mentioned
here will give to US an undue proper
ton of the unfortunate people from
the Mainland. If there is indiscrimiratc
charity here, it will in time be known
abroad. and the tramps will be upon
us. Even the high price of passage
