ORGANIZED CHARITY
ST, VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
HEARS MR.. WELLER.

A meeting of the st. Vincent de Paul So
ciety of the District of Columbia was held
at Carroll Hall last evening, when the MEM
bers listened to an address by Mr. Charles
f. Weller, secretary of the Associated
Charities, and heard reports from officers Of
subordinate bodies. Mr.. William n. De
Lacy, president of the society. presided.
In his address Mr.. Weller urged the i'm
portance of systematic cooperation among
all people engaged in charitable work. He
reminded the men present that a carefully
matured plan for the upbuilding of needy
family is often ruined by some new chari-
table agency, which is called upon to aid
the family and does so without knowing the
situation or understanding the real needs.
Every member of the st. Vincent de Paul
was invited to consult the agents and conf
dental records of the Associated Charities,
and to use this information as means of
making their work constructive and ade-
quate. KS 49,
It was suggested that the Ii, 400 records
now on file at the Associated Charities con-
tain essential information as to how two
thirds of all the people who will apply for
help this winter should be treated. In cases
not already recorded the agents of the asso-
citation stand ready to make tactful conf
Dental Investigations, and the speaker
urged his auditors to make use OF their ex-
pert services.
A plea was made for one or two represen-
tatives of the society, to serve on each of
the eight division conferences of the asso-
citation, which meet regularly in each of the
eight district offices to decide what relief
or other treatment shall be administered to
the families under care.
Mr.. Weller said that he was deeply i'm
pressed and encouraged by the sight of
nearly two hundred resourceful business
men assembled In the interest of personal
work with needy households. He paid an
earnest tribute to some of the st. Vincent
de Paul workers, who had given some of
their best thought and energy for years
to the relief and upbuilding of neglected
homes.
The speaker urged the society to come
into closer touch with other charitable
workers in order to help them realize and
follow the ideals of volunteer personal SER
vice to the needy, in which the ST. Vim
cent de Paul Society has been the pioneer.
On the conclusion of his address, Mr.
Weller left the hall, in order to keep an
other engagement. In the discussion that
followed it developed that a number of
the councils of the st. Vincent de Paul So
ciety had been employing some of the
methods used by the Associated Charities.
The members present expressed them
selves as highly pleased with Mr.. Weller's
remarks and extended him a unanimous
vote of thanks.
Following its usual custom, the menu
bers of the society attended mass in a body
at st. Patrick's Church yesterday morn
ing, which was celebrated by Rev. Thomas
i. McGuigan. an assistant pastor of the
