THE SERVANT PROBLEM.
Sensible Sermon by Rev. ]. w. Daniel
of Columbia,

Sensible Sermon by Rev. j. w. Daniel
of Columbia.
That the servant problem Is equal
In importance with the great issues
of the day. notably the negro question
Is the idea of Rev. J. w. Daniel,
pastor of the Washington Street
Methodist church. and he ably DEM
onstrated it in a short and practical
talk last evening. Each Sunday even
ing Rev. Mr.. Daniels deals with some
vital issue of the time, more or less
in an informal way and without
preparation.
Last evening he used as a founda-
ton for his remarks certain Biblical
texts, among them number of verses
from one of st. Paul's epistles, tell
ing of the treatment of a serving
maid, and verse from the 22nd
chapter Of Isaiah, which also dealt
with the relationship Of the servant
to the master.
There are few homes I have visit
ed in Columbia" he said. ''in which
the servant problem Is not discussed"
And then he declared that the prob
lem is not confined to any one sec
ton but Is general throughout all,
extending even to Germany, England
Canada and Australia. Thus we con-
clude that it is not lack in our own
civilization that makes the problem
so evident.
He was proud of the fact that SER
wants were now so hard to obtain
and to keep. for this shows a growing
democracy and advancement-a sign
that men and women even Of the
lowest grade are beginning to think
for themselves and not to depend on
the minds Of others. 1t has long
been discovered that wherever dem
ocracy most thrives there will be the
servant problem. Thus it is perhaps
best seen In our own United States.
next to Canada, then in England and
then in Germany-always the pro-
portionate problem balancing the
democracy of the government.
And with this democracy the term
servant" falls into disuse and In its
place the word help" is now largely
employed. Some socialists and po-
litical economists have declared that
this is the solution Of the problem,
and that help" not servants" is
the rightful answer to the great
question.
There are many things now in
fringing on the old home" among
them the boarding house. light house
keeping and the fiat system. All
lessen the idea of a home and when
the home is dethroned all else that
is worthy must go with it.
There is now a demand by certain
writer's that servants must be placed
upon a plane with any other workers
just as high a plane as the depart
ment store clerks. They should live
in clubs, work on an even hour scale
and answer TO the master and not an
entire household. The census now

male and female servants. While we
make the statement that so many of
them are worthless" yet placed in
their positions we would rebel as
much, if not more, than they do.
I'VE must come to recognize men
as men and women as women and
to crown all work." said Mr.. Daniel.
"The world is too full of aspirations
and high thought not to live on such
plane. All men are creatures OF
one Lord"
Passing from generalities to things
at home, Rev. Mr.. Daniel remarked
on certain peculiarities of southern
ers, singing out the fact that

HIS FoRGETFULNEss REMEMBERED
A traveller entered the dining room of
a leading hotel in Colorado Springs one
Saturday, and after he was served with
soup he drew 50 bill from his pocket
and showed 1t to the waiter, saying:
Jim, shall be here until next We'd
nesday night and then this will be
yours"
"All right. sir. I'll take the best care
of you, sure" replied the waiter.
And he did serve the traveller excel
lently. 1t happened that on Wednesday
morning the traveller was hastily sum-
moned to Denver and 1t was six weeks
before he returned to the Colorado
Springs hotel. Presently his former
waiter. whom he had forgotten along
with the incident, came up to him and
said:
Say, boss. please play that 50 trick
on your new waiter. for he's de meanes'
man what's in de whole house,

Charlestonians had criticised him for
running for a street car and for car
rying a bundle under his arm. While
more democratic here. still there are
certain customs, traditions and ideas
which have been born with us and
which we do not seem to be able to
shake off One Of these Is that 1t Is
a disgrace for a housewife to appear
at the door with her hands covered
with dough.
Rev. Mr.. Daniels thinks that white
people have little concern for the
moral side of their servants lives.
The spotted woman, no matter how
white her skin may be. cannot enter
the door Of the home, but In the
kitchen (he used the word, "stove
room") 1t matters not how loose may
be the life of the cook. 1t Is the
duty of the housewife to encourage
right, and to discourage wrong.
We must tremble when we realize
and all southerners know it-that
the moral condition of the colored
race, as a mass Is worse now than
ever before. At the low wages at
which they are employed we may ex-
pect our cooks to carry home food with
them. Here DR.. Daniel told an anus
ing personal story In which one
nally to a basket. which in turn was
then carried by small colored girl,
presumably the cooks daughter, and
first one trip after breakfast soon
included another after dinner.
The duty of women Is to teach
these servants morality and respecta-
bility. If all the money, said the
preacher. that has been spent on edu-
cation Of the mind had been applied
to the morals of the other race we
would see better conditions.
One way he advocates In which to
check the evil is in each city an or
ganization of the housewives and SER
want employers, who will always de-
mand a certificate Of good character
and who will employ no discharged
servant for a time and who will re-
fuse to endeavor to secure servants
from other employers by means of
more money.
There must be every convenience
In the stove room, for the servants
and other southern girls must be
taught the manual and democratic
labor of the cooking school.
No problem is greater-not even
the negro question, said he.-Colum-
