THE SOCIAL CREED OF
KINGDOM BROTHERHOOD

twenty years ago a little group, whose
hearts were kindled by the conviction
that the gospel is essentially social. held
the hrst conference of the Brotherhood of
the Kingdom at MarIborough-on-the
Hudson. Last month. August 26-29. il
met again, few of the charter members
with ardent recruits added every wear
since. The dominant note was one OF
rejoicing that the convictions. for which
they were once looked upon with sus-
picion, are today becoming dominant in
the life of the churches. Yet the brother
hood, while its principles are so widely
adopted in churches, has not closed as
an institution. Younger men are Joining
II, and during the last year Boston
chapter has been formed with a goodIy
membership and the promise of large
growth. The brotherhood is. perhaps
more needed now that social service is
in danger of becoming a fad and Social
ism has emerged as a political issue.
Remedy Is more important and difficult
than the recognition of social evils.
Perhaps the most significant OF all the
papers read at the conference WAS that

we should lack our present conviction of
modern sin. But we must preserve our
spiritual identity on six points: We can
not seek social reform in q class spirit:
nor neglect the law Of historic continuity:
nor tolerate such social control as TO
leave no place for private property or
initiative; nor yield to economic any

THE TREND OF THINGS
IN RELIGIOUS THOUGHT

The Young women's Christian Asso-
citation of Washington and OF the coun-
try-at-large will enter this fall upon
campaign having three lines the cam
psign on each line TO continue Tor nNe
years These lines are to carry out sug-
restions made decently by commissions
and adopted unanimously by the assocla-
tions. The ground work of the campaign
is the fact. as stated by the associations.
that the people of the United States are
in the throes Of a great moral and spir-
itUal awakening. The associations say
that religious leaders are keenly alive 10
the blurred standards of character and
conduct in political business and II
some cases even religious life.
Speaking for young women the asso-
Citations officially state that far too many
are narrow. aimless and irreligious, lead
ing superficial lives at a time when the
world is demanding conservation and
spiritual purpose at home and abroad as
never before.
The three parts to this new campaign
are character standards, social morality
from the Christian point of view, and
thrift and efficiency. One means to at
tain the former. apart from study, is to
try to gain the great meanings under
living proper observances of Christmas,
Easter and the universal day Of prayer
for students. The social morality in
wolves the whole question of the woman

cation. Thrift means the Well-balanced

WARNING TO PARENTS,

1t is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut

oughly healthy and cleanly per-
sons; that the cows are free from
diseases: that the water used for
rinsing is Of undoubted purity. and
that the milk is quickly cooled
and kept cold and covered until
delivered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
cuIoEis. Scarlet Fever, also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
