ORGANIZED CHARITIES.
Theme Discussed Yesterday at Gurley
Memorial Presbyterian Church.

The pulpit was filed at the Gurley Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning by Mr.. Charles F. Weller. general
secretary of the Associated Charities. who
spoke on the text. blessed Is He that
Considereth the Poor" The speaker began
his address by reading Ruskin's amplifica-
ton of the text. as follows: You know
how difficult 1t is to be wisely charitable
to do good without multiplying the sources
of evil. You know that to give aims is
nothing unless you give yourself also, ana
that, therefore, IL Is written, not blessed
is he that feedeth the poor. but blessed IS
he that considereth the poor And you
know that little thought ana little
kindness are often worth more than great
deal of money"
While material aid, the speaker said.
should be given promptly and adequately,
the point which most needed emphasizing
was the fact that resourceful people ought
to study the needs and possibilities of
those whom they seek to help, instead of
giving thoughtleSs, inadequate aims to I'M
known applicants. Mr.. Weller explained
the need for referring all homeless men
who apply at the doors of private houses
and all beggars who ask aims on the
street corners to the Associated Charities.
where their material needs will be immedi-
ately attended TO If necessary, and an eff
fort made to give them such adequate char
liable treatment as VIII prevent their fur-
Their pauperism.
The speaker said that probably the chief
difficulty in the way of modern organized
charity is presented by the charitable and
church workers who do not cooperate
closely with the Associated Charities. be-
cause, they say, I'VE make an investiga-
ton Just as you do and we follow out all
yCur methods of work without some of the
red tape in which your organization is In
yolved"
The speaker then took up a discussion as
to what constitutes an investigation. He
showed samples of voluminous records
which has grown up through years of con-
tact with the needy families whom the rec
ords represented. He said that the purpose
OF investigation is not to label some people
unworthy and others worthy when all peo-
pie are both; rather than that an investiga-
ton meant an effort to master a difficult
situation. to learn all the good points and
the possibilities of needy families and to
discover how those families may be per-
manently restored to self-support and
wholesome living. Such studies Of dis
tressed people require the services of
trained agent who IL to the poor what

which, according to the police census of
1897, are inhabited by 2.15O whites and
16,s2s colored people. The high death rate
from typhoid fever, the high general death
rate OF the city. the startling mortality
among infants and the amazing number Of
wooden box toilets without sewer connec-
tons were all mentioned by the speaker,
who argued that the community needs to
take to heart the biblical injunction that
that individual or that community will be
biest where the poor are considered with
wise sympathy and with such organized
helpfuiness as means not material relief
only, but the improvement of home life and
the charging of opportunities for whole
some self-help.
