Plans Of Religious Department.

The religious department has plans for
doing much work in the benevolent field
OF opportunities. To make the assistance
given to young man informal as pos
sible, and at the same time do it only after
investigation, one member is given the
name of the man who is in need, and he
alone conducts the investigation and gives
him all the assistance in his power. He is
sworn to secrecy. and no other member of
the organization is entitled to any informa-
ton concerning the individual in question
This is done in order to meet the peculiari-
ties of the average young man. When he
is in any way embarrassed he dislikes to
apply to the average charitable institution
church because of the publicity given
such matters in these places, and he is
driven to those places where there is always
an open door for every young man and
where no questions are asked, but where
they must join the evil forces or face
starvation.
