PRIZES OFFERED FOR THE BEST

II you were Lucene. the unfortunate
girl in THE Master Mind" at the Co
| lumbia Theater next week, and, like Luz
Gene, you married an honorable and true
man, from whom you kept the fact that
before marriage you had been convicted
of crime and the sad news had leaked
out and had proved a menace to your
husbands future and good name. what
| do you think the world would think of
you? Would man and woman blame you
for not telling your husband, even though
you were not guilty of the crime? Would
the finger of suspicion point to you as
one guilty of passive deception? How
many would blame you? How many would
uphold your course of conduct? How
many would pity you, sympathize with
you, weep with you?
The Washington Herald is offering $50
in a cash prize contest in order to find
out just how its readers feel about poor
Lucene. Yesterdays mail brought a
batch of essays, varying in their views

Lucene's plight before l married the man
l loved ] should have asked him this
question. Would you marry a girl whose
past did not come up TO your ideal?'
From the answer / should have known
whether or not TO hold my past secret
henceforth."
Another miss writes: WAS Lucene
right? No: do not think she was, as
love should hold nothing concealed
From Mrs. A" comes this: IF l were
Lucene and in love with a good. straight.
honest man and he in love with me,
would reveal the whole story OF my past
before l would think OF marrying him.
Another says: ITO practice deceit Is
wrong; to lie is horrible; and a woman
barring her soul to the man she loves
win bring them closer together IL he is
the man she thinks he is"

The Church and Social Work
BY JOHN NJ. GLENN,
Director, Russell Sage Foundation.

How can the churches as churches
deal with social problems? 1t is not
possible to map out a definite program
that will apply universally. Each church
must make its own program according
to the needs Of itso community and the
Instruments that are at its command.
But II Is possible to make some general
suggestions applicable to any church.
A church's members should study
community problems. and carefully con-
slider what are the wisest methods of at
tacking them, so as to destroy the bad
and build up the good.
church should cooperate with
all intelligent and well-administered So
cial agencies, public and private, getting
the benefit of their knowledge and ex-
Rerience, and leaving to them everything
that they are equipped TO do within their
respective spheres.
). A church can provide for its MEM
bers, young and old, elementary instruc-
ton and courses OF study in social ques-
tons, and II can bring those who need
further instruction or training into touch
with institutions and agencies that are
equipped TO teach and train.
A church can insist that theolog-

, ical seminaries shall give courses dealing
with social questions, and training TO
their studies through direct contact with
the poor under trained social workers
SO that their graduates may lead wisely
in healthy, sound social progress.
g. A church can make its influence
felt in politics by insisting on pure and
honest administration in government and
on the choice of clean, strong men for
office, In local government at least, ana
by expressing itself clearly and publicly
as to legislation and policies which viii
clearly aid or hinder social Righteousness,
according to that church's conception OF
it. Its members should. collectively as
well as individually. constantly express
their sympathy with honest and wise
officials and speak their minds frankly
to selfish and careless ones. Incidentally,
similar policy should be pursued to-
ward owners and managers of news
papers. which should be looked upon
essentially as public agents, not merely
as private critics.
6. A church can federate with other
churches to do these and other things
where the power of combination is neces-
sary to bring good results more speedily.
