augurated to meet a condition peculiar
to Washington. This city, without any
great congestion of population. harbors
tricts, but in side streets and alleys
scattered throughout the city. To es-
tablish a settlement in any one quarter
| would be to narrow its field of usefulness,
since the poor do not care to go far from
their homes for either pleasure or in
! struction. After much labor the society
secured one permanent headquarters, and
from there it's efforts radiated to the
different sections of the city. The poor
est districts were selected first,
and a room, several rooms, or whole

the neighborhood.

hood. Including all classes and con-
ditions. II became a factor In the
lives of men that caused them to suffer
and to sacrifice as nothing else has ever
done. 1t opened the way to revolution.
For Christianity literally turned the
world upside down. 1t brought In new
standard of ethics. 1t freed the slave.
However it may have failed because of
human limitations. no historian will dare
deny that Christianity has done more to
usher in freedom than all other agencies
combined. The charities of the early
church signified that a religion of broth
erhood and mutual helpfulness had arisen
among men, Modern missions indicate
that the most high-blooded peoples on
earth recognize their kinship to the most
savage and debased.
But brotherhood has in many in
stances become simply an appeal to self
ishness Frequently it means only the
development Of the few to the demorali-
cation of the many. There can be no
real brotherhood without a love as
wide as the world. There can be no real
brotherhood without the Fatherhood Of
God. The Fatherhood Of God implies a
care for every one of His children. He
sends His rain upon the just and upon
the unjust. His provision is for AL.

An Attractive Word.

There is something very attractive in
that word winning Christ does not
conouer the world by force. He never
did anything on earth to conquer men
by power or fear. His mighty works
were works of mercy. They drew men
by the comfort they gave. not by the
dread they excited. Nothing is ever
gained by mere power. A man who is
obedient outwardly because he is afraid
to be disobedient is not really submis
sive: in spirit he is rebellious still Law

Jesus Message of Hope.

But Jesus was not able to turn away
from the people without giving them a
message Of hope. For those who would
turn to Him there would be salvation
and peace He would help them to bear

He promised rest to the laborers in those
words that have cheered countless toilers

the humble origin of the Christ Child So
ciety, the annual meeting of which was
held at Rauscher's yesterday afternoon.
Reports received from the heads of the
various departments of the work showed
much efficiency in many lines of charity.
Judge De Lacy of the Juvenile Court
was in attendance and made a short adj
dress. in which he praised the work of
the organization. He pointed to the fact
that the report of the treasurer showed
expenditures amounting to about $4,000.
and that only a small amount remains
in the treasury.
This is fine showing he said. FOR
it looks splendid when a charitable or
ganization such as this has SO little in its
treasury" He then declared that the
work will go on with vigor. and that the

is the president, stands ready at any
time to aid the Christ Child Society IN
