Join, assist, give a hand" This
was the admonition of George L. Me-
Mutt, a public speaker of national
reputation, who appeared at the Y.
NJ. C.. A. mems meeting Sunday af-
ternoon. There was large attend
ance and the men were thrilled by
the able remarks of this man who
has studied deep into the problems
of the workingman and his relations
to the capitalist.
Mr.. McNutt prophesied n period OF
awakening in America soon when
men Will realize their relation to each
other. The world is all right, ac-
cording to Mr.. McNutt, but there is
much that Is wrong with the people
who live In it. In past years. ever
since the world began, there has
been n separation into classes and
line OF demarkation between the rich
ana the poor. This IL gradually
passing away, however. and people
are beginning to crave the fraternal
spirit. The child loves its mother
and the mother loves the child with
an affection which cannot be sur
fant, there comes conjugal love and
still later, mayhap. he may be called
to fight for his country and he leaves
al, and dies in order that his country
may be saved. He branches out into
patriotic love for his brothers. Mr..
McNutt stated that he did not be-
lieve that the men who died In the

live. Today we are going still a step
higher and reaching toward a great
fraternal love for humanity and we
tunate brother.
The speaker declared that Jesus
Christ came to the world at time
when conditions were very bad and
Il was essential that men unite rath-
er than fight and destroy each other
and the purposes of each as well. He
taught the doctrine of square deal,
of giving each man the hand of fell
lowship and bringing of all under Il
common roof of fraternal love where
every mhn may have his rights. Now
the days of war are beginning to
cease, and the speaker said that this
was due to two things, the mothers
and the workingmen. The former
are not anxious to contribute their
sons to be murdered i'm cruel war un-
less there is ONE great issue at stake.
The workingmen have discovered
that by being pushed into war they
are lighting their own interests ana
both are retarded in their work.
Peace, love and fellowship are the
keynotes of the age and men are
moving forward toward unity of pur-
pose. Men are discovering that 1t Is
easier to love their neighbor than to
XIII him and better to help him than
to support his widow and children
after he has lost in the struggle.
Mr.. McNutt told of conditions in
America and especially in New York
where the millionaires have their VAL
ued cloaks. autos and dogs, while hun
dreds are starving. Men are Begin
ming to feel that the time Is ripe to
declare that there shall be no more
hungry children in America. 1t u
diflcult to train the small child to
go to bed hungry and say its prayer.
The speaker In closing prophesicd
n day of fraternal love, coming soon
when men shall know each other
better and in that day there will be
re starving and hungry children In
ell America.
During the meeting, prayers were
offered for the wives and children OF
the dinner pail men who were killed
In the disaster in Illinois. Saturday
McNptt declared that for every ton
of coal brought to the surface OF the
earth, one life was sacrificed and Two
men were sent to the hospitals.
