VOLUNTEER WORKERS.
of Those Interested in
MethOds Of AssOciated Charities.

A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock of volunteer workers and others
interested in the Associated Charities at the
central Office of the society, S1l G street
northwest. About thirty persons were
present, principally ladies' DR.. Fred H.
Wines. assistant director of the census
talked to those present about the spirit and
inspiration of the modern movement in
charity work. He gave it as his conclusion,
after thirty years of experience in dealing
with the unfortunate, that nothing but the
power of love, eXerted through personal
touch, was effective in reforming and up
lifting humanity. He explained how mere
material relief, such as coal and groceries,
while it may tide a family over a tempo
rary crisis, will never serve to permanently
improve the condition of the family. He
said the trouble with the poor was not
their poverty, but their ignorance of the
laws of life; that they were unable to prop
erly adjust themselves to their surround
inSs. and what they needed was instruc-
ton more than relief. Such instruction
could be given and helpful uplifting infiu-
ence exerted only through actual personal
contact, and hence the Importance of the
work of the volunteer visitors of the Asso-
ciated Charities.
Two of the District agents of the associa-
ton were present and explained some
what in detail, the circumstances connected
with particular families with which they
related showed in many instances how the
families had been permanently helped and
bettered by personal influence and instruc-
ton, and, on the other hand, they showed
how thoughtless and indiscriminate char
ity had pauperized families.
The general secretary briefly outlined the
work of the association. Among other
things he suggested that the volunteers
could call upon the society to investigate
unknown applicants before granting relief;
that they could talk to their friends about
the work of the society; could bring church
circles into cooperation with the society;
could support the society financially;
some could read to the blind in their
homes; others could visit the almshouse;
others could collect savings in the homes
of the poor, etc.
The meeting was then thrown open and
questions asked and answered, general
informal conference being had in reference
to the best methods of charity work Sew
eral persons who were present volunteered
to undertake special lines of work under
the direction Of the society.
