DR.. Woods Discourse.

Dr.. Charles Wood preached the sermon
hast evening at the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church. He took for his
text the biblical Injunction that what
God has given is to enjoy. He declared
that while man builds buildings and great
works, the material is Gods, and will
always be.
He called attention to the fact that no
where in the Bible is there any reference
to Chr1st's begging, but. on the contrary,
He always had a purse from which He
paid for everything He needed
In Paurs letter to Corinth he adjured
his followers not to absent themselves
from the worldly world, but to meet on
equal footing the pagans-not to be or
the defensive. but even to eat the meats
that were offered to the craven images
on the ground that the stone and wood
from which they were made were origi-
nally the property of God.
DIR. Wood urged his hearers not tc
emulate those who go into cloisters. but
to stay in the world and give 1t the bene-
At Of all possible aid.

Weller of the Associated Charities spoke
under the auspices Of the Christian En-
deavor Society on the subject Of immi-
grafton and social assimilation. From his
contact with immigrants as laborer In

district superintendent Of the Chicago
bureau Of charities, Mr.. Weller said he
thinks the immigrants are being assim-
Hated rapidly by the public schools and
the industrial life of America.
Washington. while having no immigrant
problem, has some urgent problems Of So
cial assimilation, according to the speak
er. He suggested that the 10000 people
dealt with by the associated charities dur
ing the past fifteen months showed the
need for means of bringing them into har-
mony with the standards and habits OF life
prevailing among more resourceful mem
bers of the community. The speaker in
vited members of the church to enlist as
friendly visitors. collectors of savings, d.
vision conference members. and In other
forms of personal service to needy families
which would enable them to aid the latter
In developing higher standards of life and
means of wholesome Self-support Several
