| Mrs. Charles Isabelle Davis, OF New
York, fascinated and appalled, a large
ard cultured audience at the Woman
Club when she spoke for an hour on
What is Philanthropy?" yesterday at
| ternoon. In answering this question. MIS-.
Davis said that the giving of bread and
! money to the beggar at the door was
! but a form OF selfishness. and tho only
instance where money should be given
was to the aged, very young. sick. and
destitute mother in charge OF young chill
Gren. For with the giving OF bread to our
| fellows without the ministry that lifts
| the soul towards ..Our Father" it was
| taking away manhood and womanhood
! that could never be given back. What do
| you women in your State know of child
labor, for true philanthropy takes hold
! CT childhood and tries to set aside the
| crime of child labor. In New York to-
| day little children at four years of age
| are working from seven in the morning
| to six at night pulling out bastins
| threads And your city is growing, and
! factories growing. how about your child
! labor?
! What harbors anarchy? Is it not the
cruel sweat of the laborers who are max
| ing mother hubbard nightgowns at So cents
| q dozen and little boys pants at cents
! q pair?
Stop giving your money, give your
selves to the uplifting of humanity; so in
| the slums and show them what true.
| pure womanhood means, put self in the
| background and let the love of our fell
| lcw-being, the love OF God. reign
supernatural Is philanthropy.
