ligious have practfced charity rath-s CT as means of self seeking than as d form of self sacrifice. In the early days Of the Christian church charity was practiced largely as a means Of obtaining merit. One result has been that the church through history, as Rev. s. G. Smith has put it, has been follow ed by an army of camp-fol1owers in the shape of beggars.
 What should be our attitude in helping the poor2 Surely not that we ourselves may escape Divine wrath Rather, let us consider the poor And if we consider the poor it means that we must not blind ourselves to the causes which bring them into distress, nor must we help them in a. man ner which will prove harmful rath- CT than helpful.

 We are told, and know, that a large contributing cause of pover- ty is the drink evil.

 A study of the religious treatment of poverty was Illustrated by Fred R. Johnson, sup perintendent of the De- partment Of Charities Of this city in an address before the Bible class Of the M C. A., last night. His topic was s.Ishe Bible and Charity, and proved to be of vital interest Some Of the pertinent things said by the speaker follow
 ssNo field of inquiry reveals more
 apparent contradictions than
 study of the religious treatment of poverty. Those of us who believe that poverty is disease and that it is an abnormal condition of
 part Of the human family which will eventually be greatly reduced if not eliminated, are reminded of | the Masters words, The poor ye F have with you always If we be- lieve that poverty should be met in a scientific spirit we have quot
 ed the injunction given to the
 of the truth, Sell all that you have and give to the pooy.
 Less emphasis is often placed
 on the fundamental doctrines of the Christian reIigion-the teach ings of Christ enphasizing the brotherhood of man and the need skof service Love your neighbor as l yourselfss and do not pass by the l man who is on the road to Jeri- l < cho.' tUnquestionab1y the cornmonest and most forcefu1 incentive to be- l neyolence has been that supplied 1 by religion.

Interior Alterations Forging Ahead Ae
oording TO Schedule.

With the passing OF the holidays,
civic improvements will be pushed
vigorously and under ordinary cir
cumstances, the town hall repairs and
the paving will be completed accord
ing to schedule. The town hall work
is progressing rapidly and the contrac-
tors, Chatel a Vairo, expect to wind
up the contract within the ninety day
period. incidentally, this means ninety
work days and provision has been
made for delays necessitated through
unfavorable weather. The work was
held up for more than a week during
the first month OF the summer and
this will extend the time limit until
the latter part of September.
Another two weeks should witness
the completion of the paving, unless
the council decides To improve Lake
Linden avenue beyond Tamarack
street. The south side of Lake Linden
avenue and the west side of Hecla
street have been completed and with
the present force, the contract should
rapidly be fulfilled.
