CHRISTIANITY AND POVERTY
Rev. E. S. Forbes Praised the
Organized Aid in His Lem
ten Sermon Last Evening.

a
christianity and Poverty was last
evening the subject of the first of a
course of Lenten lectures preached by the
Rev. Elmer S. Forbes in st. Johns Epis-
copal Church. $50 far as personal in
capacity and laziness are concerned" said
he, "they always nave been in the world
and we suppose they always will be. We
cannot hope that they will ever cease
to be factors in the problem, or at any
rate If, in the providence of God, such
q blessed condition is to come some time
in % future, it is so remote as to be
without practical interest to u.s." And
then, after speaking upon the subject of
poverty in its relations to the individual,
he turned his attention to the Organized
Aid Association, SAYING
The second word Of religion on this
subject is-Organize, cooperate. The
problem is too large for any individual
to cope with it alone. The poor are a
great number, the beggars are an army,
FOUNDERS are numerous, and even with
the best intention in the world one is Iia-
BILE to be deceived. 1t is impossible for a
busy man or woman to investigate thor
oughly the merits of every application
for help which is made to him. There
should be a union of forces.
1t Is here. that a society like the Or
ganized Aid Association of this city Is Of
value. The association roposes to do
for the churches and SOCIETIES and char
itably disposed people of this town what
they cannot do for themselves, i. e., look
carefully and thoroughly and sympathet-
ically into the needs of those who ask
for assistance. If o will take the
names of those who knock at your back
door and ask for food, or of those who
aceost you on the street and beg for a
few pennies to buy a loaf of bread and
will send them to the office of the assoc
citation they will be investigated, and, If
it proves necessary, such relief will be
given as will do the most good.
The object of the association is to
build up characters and make men. The
truth is poverty often affects a mans
self-respect most disastrously. With a
good coat on his back and money in his
pocket he holds up his head and asks odds
of no one; but when his coat is thread
bare, and his shoes are worn out, and his
pockets are empty he slouches along like
the broken and defeated man that he is.
Such a society is worthy of general
support of your lone and your inter-
est, and its existence takes from the over
tender hearted the last excuse for in
discriminate giving. There is no reason
for feeding the callers at our back doors,
or for i%gnorantly assisting them in any
other way. We can refer them to the
association with full assurance that they
will na tAQrod for In a kind1u and thor
oughly helpful manner. But we must not
forget that the association cannot do its
work without funds, and If we make use
Of it in the way suggested we should
also do something to help it meet the
calls which we make upon 1t.
