ordinary peoples strying to obey the
abstract law of love. The trouble is
that our economic system is wrong.
The principles of the kingdom of God
must be applied at the root of the
trouble, not at the surface. We
must acquire Christianity before we
can do effective work against these
evils. Jesus emphasized our present
duty. He spoke little about the life
hereafter. 1t is the work of present
day Christianity to go to the root of
these problems and overthrow these
wrong systems. Mere moral acts Of
emotion will not do. If there is
nothing but the form to our worship
it can't delight God. We must be
engaged in active service. The
angels can sing much better than we.
We must do all hat we can to es-
tablish Christ's kingdom.
I'VE often hear of calls to the min
istry. Why not calls to other occu-
%pations? A man can serve. God as
well in any other legitimate business
as in the ministry. Christianity
enobles any legitimate occupation.
We lack democracy. In the kingdom
of God there will be true. democracy.
Every, man who does his work hon
estly and to the glory of God, will be
duly honored."
A Review.
Mrs. Hartman next presented Miss
Fox, who gave a review of association
work. Miss Fox spoke of the world
convention of Christian workers to be
held. The field of the Y. w. c. A. is
Wonderfully broad. The fact that
there is 50 much opportunity for work
especially among students is a chal"
lenge to us to do our best. Il here is
work among all classes of women.
Miss o urged all to inform them
selves about the preparations that are
being made for the world conference.
Miss Houston was the next speaker.
She spoke of the opportunities for CO.
operation between student ana city
organizations, saying it is impossible
to carry out all the work together be-
cause of the difference in problems.
One field, however, in which CO.
operation might be effective is the re-
ligious work. Bible study perhaps had
better be separate. The social work
offers a splendid field for co-opera-
ton. 1t would be advantageous for
both to meet. Conferences betWcen
similar committees and students
might bring u little of their work to
the city girls, and exchange of visits
r.ight help, college girls might lend
posters for advertising or exchange
them, clothes might be turned over to
city associations for emergency cases,
investigation of social conditions
could be made, city association might
help through its employment bureau
II Travellers Aid. There are many
opportunities for practical work. But
the spirit of cooperation, Christian
~helpfulness and fellowship is needed
to make this work effective.
Travellers Aid.
Miss Annabelle Iockhart, on Trav-
elers' Aid, brought out some splendid
points. Travellers aid is not rescue
work, but preventative, she said. 1t
is to help girls either by directing
them to rooms, giving information
about trains, or finding friends. 1'rav-
elers' aid work encircles the globe.
The need of such work was shown at
the Worlds fair in Chicago. The
Travellers aid secretary should work

ard the police. She should no. call
on them too often. Care should be
taken in dealing with hack drivers
and express men. The secretary
should know lodging houses and no.
tells, both those for women and those
- Which foreigners, negroes, and
Chinese may be sent. The Travellers
aid secretary should wear a dis
t%inctive badge and look as though she
were in her place for business. No
PROSECUTING should be done. Y. w. c.
A. women SHOULD cooperate with Ro-
man Catholic n Jewish Travellers
aid women. A separate society for the
Travellers aid has been advocated,
but the Y. w. c. A. does not think
this altogether desirable, although
there Is no reason why the work
should not conform to the sugges-
tions of the central board.
After meetings of the several group
councils a joint meeting was held
with Miss Fox presiding. Miss Fox
spoke of the general student work,
telling of what the student officers at
headquarters have tried TIC do.
At Luncheon.
Directly from the session at the
university, the delegates went to the
city association home on East Cedar
street for luncheon. Long tables We're
placed in the form of a '"T' in the
dining room and about 60 guests We're
served a choice menu provided by
Miss Alice Shepard, cafeteria secre-
tary. yellow shaded candles and
vases of yellow daffodils made the
tables beautiful.
Miss Elizabeth Fox served as toast
mistress and called for a series of
after-dinner speeches, telling some
thing of the charm of the Y. w. c.. A.
summer conference at Gearhart Park,
ore. She called upon Miss Nellie
Houston for First Impressions OF
