For two hours Premier Asquith and

Bishop Hamilton

The next speaker was Bishop John
Hamilton of Boston, whose sense OF
humor was equalled only by free and
clear philosophy which his address
displayed. His subject was 1.-The Prac-
teal Demand for Christian Unity" His
address was first concerned with a
definition of the terms Unity" Fra
ternity" and Federation" Unity he
defined as being love unmodif1ed AND
unqualified, except as we say perfect
love. 1t is this unity which we show
in our fraternity and fraternity can
not precede the former. Similarly un-
til fraternity exists there is no oppor-
tunity for federation"
He continued by saying that the
sum and substance of religion was
unity. Concerning doctrines he en-
tered upon an enlightening discourse,
recognizing their intangibility and
proclaiming, nevertheless, certain ir-
revocable things which must be class
ed as doctrine For illustration he
spoke of organizing society to do
away with sleep and had little diff
Guilty in pointing out the impossible
ity of such a creed. The doctrine Of
sleep, he said. was irrevocable be-
cause God made 1t that way.
There are certain fundamental
things which must be believed in, he
went on. These include a recognition
of the holy spirit and its independence,

Mr.. Smith opened with prayer. He
expressed his understanding that his
remarks were to be considered as pre-
paratory to the downright getting
down to business of the conference
and pointed out that there was one
thought which every man should keep
foremost in his mind, namely: rs this
the spot where l ought to put the &C

Mr.. Smiths connection with the H.
Johns Manville Co. of New York iden-
titles him with one of the largest bust

squarely hit the mark and the decisive
power with which he deals his blows
unite to form a force that makes men
think.
The gist of the address was that
every man has his particular work to
do which no other man can do. The
speaker said that every issue pro-
pounded at the conference would find
it's solution in some personality. He
quoted Carlyle's Find your man and
alrs got" and supported this by re-
calling the effect of that hunchback
personality of Martin Luther upon the
world. He repeated Every great issue
demands a personality" followed by
saying that there were some men
present who were saying little but

prising.
Since this is special work it coul i
best be done by special workman.
and herein the Industrial Department
of the Y M. c. A. has been able te
render to the industries to our State
service of inestimable value. Their
program is adequate for the needs and
better than that they know how to
carry it out. In other words, they
know how to work their plan as well
as TO plan their work.
The following concrete recommen-
dations are made: Anyone at all ia :
miliar with Industries and industrial
problems will recognize almost unlim-
tied opportunity for welfare work,
many features of which are still who'll
ly undeveloped. There are two features
which might we'll be worked out to the
advantage of both employee and en-
ployer, namely, an employment agency
arrangement which would relieve both
the worker and the employer from the
INSCRIPTIONS methods of the average
employment agent, and second, sys-
tenn whereby a portion Of an en-
ployee's earnings could be invested in
the industry with perfect security to
him for both principal and interest
with the added incentive of receiving
by way of interest an amount equiva
lent to the dividend earned, thereby
making each employee q co-owner as
we'll as a o-worker.

Industrial Welfare in Maine.

wherever the hum of industry is heard
there industrial welfare problems are
to be found.
The employer demanding efficiency
is often confronted with Incidence, in
temperance and ignorance The en-
ploye craving health, happiness, pros
perity and fraternity is often con-
fronted with conditions and environ

intelligent analysis of these problems
and of their contributing factors will
invariably bring the interested parties
into a closer relationship aud to bet

The Inebriate.
George E. Fogg.

dtUISe TOSS.
The inebriate problem in the State
of Maine is nothing more or less than
the entire Jail problem of this State.
That sounds like drawing the long
bow But that statement is not one
Of mere guess or opinion. 1t is one
of hard, cold fact. Take down your
reports of the Jail and Prison Inspect
ors of this State. You will find that
out of total of 1885 ommitments for
the entire State in 1910, 416S were for
drunkenness, or 81 per cent; in 1911, out
of 6727, 1908 of 50 per cent; in 1912,
out of $780, 4095 or So per cent; making
for the three years an average of 81
per cent-or two out of every three
commitments to our jails on the spe-
citic charge of drunkenness. And il
you add to these the number of per-
sons committed for non-payment of
fines--Whose fines were for drunken
ness-you will approximate nearly 80
per cent of all Jail commitments as
inebriates.
The following concrete recommends
tons are made.
1. Individuals-Takea look at your
own Jail. Interview your judge or
probation officer. Take look at the
yearly report of the Maine Prison In
spectors. Join the Maine Prison AS
ISOLATION. Read what Warden lyman
has done in Colorado.
q Organization-Give a special meet
ing to the consideration of this pre- b.
lem and have a speaker who can give
you the real facts. Get in touch with
the Maine Prison Association and its
program. Pass resolution urging
upon the Legislature adequate hand
ling of this problem. See your county
commissioners about having these men
work on the road.
8. COMMUNICATIVE a social sur
vey made of your own community so
you will know where this trouble all
starts and where the breeding places
are The best protection is prevention.
That is best accomplished through a
juvenile court for young offenders just

Delinquent Women.

benjamin B. SanderSon.
The problem of dealing with delin-
quent women is one which enlightened
communities are facing today with
an earnestness which is only exceeded
by their neglect of it in the past. Why
is this? Business has discovered that
its efficiency, even its existence may
depend upon the fullest utilization of
its supposed waste. So, too, enlight-
ened communities have discovered that
their efficiency depends upon proper
utilization of their waste. Their waste
is their delinquent class. 1t is realizs 4,
too. that the proper dealing with the
female delinquent is doubly important,
because of the possibilities of reforma-
ton or renovation and because it goes
to the very root of our social system
and its upbuilding. Women are the
mothers; they are responsible for the
life of the next generation. What is
needed above all is a central State
institutional reformatory or industrial
home for female offenders over Is years
of age an institution which will offer
real upbuilding forces, which will br.n :
a woman into an atmosphere not mere
ly of cleanliness and hopefulness blu.
of industry, which will show her the
way to better life and will, at the
same time, afford her the opportunity

The Social Evil.
F. N. Whittier.


We are only beginning to realize the
horrors of the social evil. Recent medi-
cal discoveries show more clearly the
widespread and far-reaching physical in
juries caused by venereal disease Psy-
Geological and sociological studies show
the disastrous effect upon the mind and
morals.
The actual damage done by the social
evil can never be shown by statistics.
The policy of silence hides many of the
injuries Many of these are so insidious
that they cannot be proved and tabulat-
ed. Such statistics as we have, show
clearly the following results
First:-Venereal disease destroys more
lives than tuberculosis. DR.. F. II. Ger
IRISH says that syphilis and gonorrhea to-
gether kill more people than does tuber-
culosis.
Second:-Venereal disease is more pre-
valent than all other severe infectious
diseases combined. The committee of
seven of the Medical Society of the
County of New York estimated that there
were in one year 243,Oo cases of venereal
disease in New York City. In the same
year there We're only 41,5S5 other cases of
infectious diseases reported to the health
department. This number included the
cases of tuberculosis
Third:-Taking into consideration the
sterility, the wrecked homes and ruined
lives caused by venereal disease, it is the
worst evil in the world today.
OF the different plans for prevention of
venereal disease the following offer the
most at the present time
A Awakening the world to the dam
gers of venereal disease. B. Establish
ing higher ideals of sexual morality. c.
Accusing the parents to sense of re-
sponsibility in regard to the sexual NOR
ais of their children. D.. Arousing in de-
Veioping boys and girls a feeling of re-
sponsibility in regard to the health and
welfare of their future families. f.
Awakening public opinion to support Off
GERS of sanitation in applying modern
hyglenfc methods to the control of ven
ereal disease. The above plans will be
criticized as too abstract. There are GER
tain concrete tasks that can be under
taken by all. 1. The most important du-
ty or the individual: Give time and
money to aid the fight against the social
evil. II. The most important duty of or
carnations: Educate the people in re-
gard to the disastrous effects of venereal
disease. Ill. The most important duty
OF the town: Enforce the laws against
prostitution. w. The most important
duty of the State: Require reporting and
isolation of venereal disease.

train herself so that she can live that
life, by enabling her to earn an honest
living when she returns to the COM
munity.
We believe in reformatories for girls
under 16. Are we going to ignore the
larger more influential class, that is
those over 16?
An institution for the purposes set
forth should be constructed on the
farm plan, located in the country with
plenty of land around fer outdoor work,
with cottages for accommodations
somewhat like those at the Good viii
Farm; facilities for the proper kind
of instruction, and it might he men
toned here that the training of many
of these women for domestic service
is not only possibility but might con-
fer distinct benefits upon communities
by virtue of the scarcity Of this kind
of female help The indeterminate
sentence should be part of the provis-
ion. No huge edifce to make an inn
posing front is called for. Fifty thous-
and dollars will provide a plant en- the
cottage plan, including the land ade-
quate for many years. over three
times this amount is already invested
in the Industrial School for Girls
under 16 at Hallowell
1t must finally be remembered that
such an outlay is not merely to take
care of one hundred 10 two hundred
persons annually in the State; 1t is
also so that those one hundred to two
hundred cannot bring a burden of
several thousand to other institutions;
so that those one hundred to two hun
bred cannot contaminate a portion of
our society; so that those one hum
dred to two hundred may not be
wholly lost to society.

What UNCONVENTIONAL Agencies in
Maine Can Do to Promote Christian
Unity.
Unity.
E. K. Jordan.

E. K. Jordan.
IF there is any standpoint from which
Christian Unity will appear to be highly
desirable, it is certainly that of COM
munity efficiency. for it is very evident
MANY a community that the over
churched condition or the keen competi-
ton between churches greatly decreases
the efficiency of the work of the King
dom of God in that place.
The UNCONVENTIONAL Agencies in Maine
are perhaps more keenly awake to the
possibilities and needs of Christian Unity
and better organized for the furtherance
of its cause than in most states. The
Observation-Disclosures Council has done
excellent pioneer work along these lines.
Some institution in each community
ought to call together representatives of
the various institutions working for bet
torment, and discuss matters of vital in
terest to the community, such as COM
mercial opportunity, recreation, amuse-
ments, entertainments. If this confer
ence were held at regular intervals, some
progress would be noted. Much good can
be accomplished by such a concentrated
effort
Further. churches and ministers might
be encouraged to unite with other
churches and pastors of the community,
in doing such work as may well be done
from a community standpoint.
