GENIUS OF SOCIAL SERVICE AT
WORK IN MODERN CHURCH LIFE

discussion of social questions by writer's
qualified to speak out Of knowledge and
experience"
Lastly, In q long section entitled Gen
eral recommendations" the report urges
the churches, ''in their social service meet
ings, their citizenship classes, their local
and national conferences. to the free and
fearless consideration of such questions
as the abatement OF poverty, the hope
and aims OF labor organizations, the
abolition Of child labor. the merits Of the
socialist propaganda, reforms in the
methods Of taxation. prison reform. the
revision OF court procedure" and many
other similar topics.
This report is different from most
of the statements upon the social
question which come from the Protestant
churches Of America, in that it care
fully avoids the setting forth Of any
platform OF specific social reforms to be
achieved, such as made notable the ut
terances of the Methodists some three
years ago and the similar declaration OF
the Congregationalists last fall and gives
itself wholly to the consideration OF
practical ways and means. This does
not mean," says John Haynes Holmes,
that the Unitarians are Indifferent or
hostile to such progressive measures as
the eight-hour day, a living wage, the
abolition of child labor, &c, but that, as
a body they are tra6itionally and tenn
peramentally opposed to the adoption Of
any statement of principles which has
the remotest resemblance to a creed, and,
having refused for 100 years to adopt
90
quite unready to adopt sociological belief
Also the Unitarians. taking 1t for granted
that they are committed to the spirit II
not the exact letter of all Of these spe-
cif1c reforms, find themselves primarily
interested in the problem of getting them
selves as individuals and their churches
es organization behind these measures
and putting them most speedily and safe
ly into effect"
This report sets forth in unqualified
terms that 1t is the business OF the min
lister, Just because he is a minister, and
the business of the church, Just because
it is a church, to serve directly the polit-
ical and industrial needs of organized
society. 1t aims to tell IN great detail
just what the minister, In his personal
activities, and the church, in fits various
departments, can and must do in order to
fulfill their social obligations" The
social duty of organized religion is af-
firmed by the commission to be the duty
Of first Importance. The report, instead
OF conhning itself to declarations of prin-
ciple, platforms of specific measures Of
reform, and appeals for individual and
collective service. aims to define and clas-
sify practical ways and means for dis
charging this social duty. The report
may be obtained OF Rev. Elmer r.
Forbes, Is Beacon street, Boston, Mass.

question Of the omission OF hymns has
been settled there will be sent out a
call for action OF church people IN send
ing in new hymns, together with music
for the same. Then win be the time
and opportunity to suggest the admls-
sion into the hymnal Of such splendid
verses as Kipling's recessional, Lest We
Forget" or that new hymn OF inter-
national peace written by George Hunt
ington to the tune OF America" 1.-TWO
Empires by the Sea-" which has already

like those Of Leeds and Yarmouth, they
have nothing at all to compare with it.
Its report is. therefore, Of unique IN
terest and Importance.

Father williams, the pastor Of st. An
thongs, follows what is obviously
prudent course in receiving the young
boys of his parish into the Holy Name
Society. The influence Of this religious
society thus enters into the lives Of the
