CHRISTIAN SOCIALISTS IN FRANCE.
III D'Aubigne Talks Of Their influence IN
the Affairs of That Country.

The present religious and social conflict IN
France is being largely colored by the fact that
the workingmen are being brought under religious
influences, according to the Rev. Merle DAuogne
director of the McAu Mission, Paris.
This is a very significant fact" said Mr.
D'Aubigne in an address before the Brotherhood
OF the Kingdom in Amity Hall yesterday after
noon because the labor leaders and workingmen
have heretofore been intensity hostile to Christi
snity. which they identified with the Church OF
Rome. The McAll Mission has contributed to such
result mainly by bringing the Professionals or
France. who belong chiefly to the agricultural and
middle classes. in contact with the WORKING
classes This influence has been reinforced by a
group Of young men. notably Ellie Gounele and
Wilifred Monod the latter a of Theodore
Monod. These men are emphasizing the social
elements OF the Gospel and the result Is the
Christian social movement which is making its
influence felt all over France. and which, IT IS
hoped, will introduce elements of peace into
the conflicts with which the country is rent The
McAu Mission is represented in America by the
American Nc All Association, of which Mrs.
Charles H. Parkhurst Is president.

"One OF the developments Of the day nursery IS

to care only for very young ones. Now we realize
that school children whose mothers are absent

all the day nursery buildings provide accom-

A FAREWELL TO YESTERDAY.
Where is the road TO Yesterday?
Oh. tell in prose or rhyme:
For | would trace my backward way
To that enchanting cline.

And friends so kind and fair.
Why should day so bright and new
All fade away in air?
Who knows the road TO Yesterday?
Is every seeker blind?
Say. does It cast no single ray
To pilot those behind?
oh, there's a road that leads our feet
To hours more glad and bright
road SO short, a Joy complete,
A journey of night!
Come, bid farewell TO Yesterday
For in To-morrow's face
The h9ppiest days now flown away
