TIE meeting addressed by Joseph S.
Walton Phi d. on the Basis of Christian
Philanthrophy in the Friends Meeting
House on the evening of the thirteenth was
we'll attended. 1t is seldom we have an
opportunity to listen to SO careful student
Of human nature. The address was schol-
arly but intensely sympathetic, and we are
confident that it appealed to the highest in
each individual present, 1t is impossible
TO give just outline; the personality Of
the speaker, his carefully chosen words and
apt illustrations all combined to form
well rounded whole. The speaker referred
to the numerous organized activities to
benefit Others, as being the fruitage of the
Christian religion; proof that man is be-
ginning to find the meaning of the Christ
ian Religion in life Of service for others it
is never found in life of accumulation in
order that we may have what others have
not. If the world is in need of anything
it is in need Of fellowship; it is the foun-
dation Of Christian philanthrophy, the
touch of one heart to another; we find our
selves by doing little acts Of fellowship.
The desire for greater freedom is universal,
we imagine happiness in an escape from
responsibility and burdens the ocean
steamer is safe and free only when it carries
a heavy burden guided by compass and
pilor; the engine of the track without any
burden is not free; we are free only when
we are utilizing in life Of service all the
powers with which we are endowed, under
such circumstances we are not tied to
petty round OF worries and burdens but we
carry them easily, naturally. Philan-
throphv and Religion are one and the same;
each Is impossible without the other.
