your friends to a better knowledge of the poor, not through public meetings nor through published reports, but per- sonally, actually and intimately The settlement is a great thing if it brings into your hearts and minds some con- cern about the ills and the cause of the ills which beset the poor. After ten years thought and work in this field, I am convinced that the causes of pow erty are not, in the main, due to indi- vidual weakness or vice. The causes of poverty are mainly social. The worst miseries of our cities are within the power of social remedies. Every social change registers it's effect upon the poor Even such apparently re- mote things as the organizations of in- dustry, the tariff, the ownership of land, may cause evil and distressing conditions among the poor. If, there fore, the settlement is a place where the rich and poor may meet together, where they may discuss these social evils. where they may combine to work for reforms, then the settlement per- forms a most valuable function. The world does not improve by itself. Cor ruption and injustice do not die of themselves. The causes of misery will not remedy themselves. We can hire somebody else to distribute bread to the starving; we can get somebody else to care for the aged, the miserable, the sick and the infirm, but if We will do anything to stop these evils, if we de- sire to prevent, as far as possible, the causes of social misery, then your heart and my heart, your mind and my mind, your strength and my strength, the hearts and minds and strength of us all must be active in the service. Toynbee literally wore himself out in the service of mankind. He was one of the noble men who tried to suffer for others instead of making others suffer for him.
 The spirit of Jesus and the spirit of St. Francis was in Toynbee. The spirit of Toynbee gave us the settlement. The settlement must, therefore, be more than charitable institution for the in- struction and entertainment of the poor, conducted by boards and committees and supported by donors and patrons,
 by balls and bazaars. It must be first of all a place where group of men and women may live in simplicity with out selfishness, in the service of their fellowmen, protesting against the many forms of social injustice, using every
 effort to insure, by individual or social
 menas, fair opportunity to every child
 born in the world, and cooperating
 with every upward tendency manifest in the lives of the people, rich and poor,
 which will help to bring brotherhood into this world of men.
