The principal address Of the after

philanthropy" Rev. Dempster said
he was highly gratif1ed to meet the
members Of the club. He explained his
views upon such organizations, say
ing that club which does not do
something practical Is a waste of both
time and talent, but that an organiza-
ton designed to uplift both self and
fellow beings is great power and in
fuence for good in q community. In
such estimation he holds the Women's
Club. Notable examples Of women's
philanthropy were cited, and the subject
from general standpoint,
also the practical side Of local philan-
thropy. On the principle that to help
the needy to help themselves is better
than any other charity, suggested how
looking after the city field might be
reduced to system, and expressed
confidence that the work will be at
tended to as it should be. Mrs. Sears,
in the name of the club, thanked him
for his interest and expressed pleas
ure over the meeting.
