tion as is possible in this world, and tn
city that is so unfortunate as TO attail
, this happy combination may rightly Iool

growth and general prosperity.
Evidences Of satisfactory advance II

wood will continue to develop along the
lines indicated. II it does, I feel salts.
fed that Greenwood's immediate future
is to be marked by progression In all di.
rections.
1t will be the policy Of the present ad.
ministration to do all that 1t can to ap-
ply common sense business methods to
the running of the city government.
Under existing conditions we are not al
ways able to secure what our ideals de-
mand, so we must be content with an
Improvement, hoping that the satisfac-
tory workings Of one department may
influence another to pursue the same
policy.
Greenwood Is to be congratulated on
the splendid business organizations
which she maintains. The Greenwood
Cotton Exchange, The Greenwood Bust.
ness League and The Green wood Retail
Grocers Association. In these organi-
cations is comprised substantially the
entire business interests of the city and
this administration, earnestly desiring
the fullest cooperation with all citizens,
looks for the counsel OF Greenwood's
business men through their associations.
The actual necessity for Bureau con-
stantly working for the esta blishment Of
new industries In our midst, such as the
Business League is maintaining, is ap-
parent when we consider that some nat

Men interested In such undertakings To-

CAMP AT MAsoN's ISLAND.
Sextette Found It an Ideal Spot and
 Had Delightful Time.

Home was never like this" is the statement given out by the half dozen young men who have just completed a week at Camp Goodenough IT., on the southern end of Mason's Island, locally known as Nanyang, in Fishers Island Sound.
 In the party were August Muller, James E. Pollard. J. Murray Henry and George F. Stanton of Stonington, William D. Black of South Manches- ter. and Leslie T. Gager of Norwich. They went into camp Saturday after noon, August 2S, and during the week that followed found plenty to do to make things interesting for themselves as well as for other summer residents on the island. The days were cram med full of seaside diversions, crab ping, rowing, canoeing, swimming, and at night the fellows gathered round the camp fire and sang the good old songs with vim that reused the is- landers
 Muuler was the chief cook. and the pancakes he turned out mornings were models of perfection. Toward the end of camp. however, he had a rival in Black. who came rapidly to the fore in the art culinary. The other fellows did their share of camp work, and ev- erybody managed to have delightful time. They will strike camp tonight.

 In singles. Allyn l.. Brown took an easy set from W. E. Gilbert, 6-1, 6-2, but a singles match between H. B. Cary and F. H.

At Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev. M. S. Kaufman, preached on Christianity and the Labor Problem. He said in part:
 A question of such supreme import ance as to warrant the states of this republic in setting aside legally one day in the year for it's special advan-
 tage is certainly sufficiently sacred to
 merit the recognition of our Christian churches. Were Jesus, the carpenters son, on earth today in bodily pres
 ence, there can. be little doubt that He would sympathize deeply and practi- cally with all wage workers whose real rights. are encroached upon by
 those who have the power. On the
 other hand, He would see with equal
 clearness the rights of wealth and approve of those who get it honestly and use it wisely. His justice to all classes and conditions of men, if dom inant in our generation, would go a long way toward solving the labor problem. It cannot be questioned that very much of the progress made through the centuries in bettering the working mans condition is due to the presence of the Christ spirit in hu- man society. He who gave us the charming parable of the Good Samar- ltan; lie who went about doing good to all who most needed the helping hand of kindness, demonstrated be- yond cavil that He was and still Is every mans truest Friend who will yield to His guidance. So true Chris tianity, Christianity as it lay in the mind of Christ and as it is intended by Him to be practiced by His pro- fessed followers, is the firm friend of all who will accept it's teachings and put them into practice. We are told that leading labor organizations in their meetings have greeted the name of Jesus with applause, regarding Him as a fellow sufferer, and hence one who sympathizes with them. They are coming to believe that the relations between capital and labor would be greatly improved if the principles laid down by this Master workman were needed by both. It would be a very great gain if there could be brought

CHRISTIANITY AND THE LABOR PARTY
Rev. M. s. Kaufman Breaches Timely Sermon at Metho
 dist Church.

about better understanding between the church of Jesus Christ and those organizations which have as their aim the protection and prosperity of those who bear the burdens of toll. Several of the principal Protestant denomina- tions are making organized effort to this end. Our own Methodist Federa- tion for Social Service has in view this most desirable aim. If any church ought to be interested in this kind of work, surely ours should. It is in per- feet keeping with all the history and traditions of Methodism from its ori- gin to the present time. The Wesley an movement in England began with a social spirit. It went to the people of all grades. While yet in college at Oxford, Wesley and his fellow colle- gians did systematic work among the sick and poor and oppressed. Later this mighty man became a champion for temperance-for freedom-for ed- ucation-for every worthy cause. He encouraged industry, thrift. cleanliness and conomy-establishin loan funds, free dispensaries, homes for the aged and employment bureaus. The needs of the unemployed he met by open ing factories. In many ways he illus trated the very spirit of Christianity in his attitude toward the toilers of his day. While the labor problem is a question of civics, of economies. of ethics, all of these entering into and greatly complicating it, yet at bottom it is a religious question. It will never be solved permanently until men of good will constitute controlling body in the social organism. That is until a sufficient number of people, both capitalists and laborers, are so truly Christianized that industrial and com mercial enterprises are conducted up- on Christian principles. Christianity is not only the hope of the world, but it is the hope of every department of human activity-including of course, the great labor problem. Therefore. it would be the highest wisdom for Christian churches and labor organiz- ations to work in harmony toward the Christianizing of men, ever remember ing that the "soul of all human inn provement is the improvement of the so111 p
