PRIVATE CHARITY AND PuBllc INVEST
MEN1.

The Dawes Hotel in Chicago is justi-
flying the expectations Of it's founder.
1t is a homeless mans hotel. philan-
thropic institution run at loss and is
intended to offer q refuge to men who
otherwise would be forced to cheap
and vicious lodging houses and COM
partnership. The Chicago Tribune
states edieorially that within the past
has found work for 6os Of its guests
and that these men who are started
back OH the road TO self respect and
decent citizenship" are salvage from
the army OF men who fill the cheap
lodgings and "iops" of Chicago's I'M
derworld.
Dawes hotel whether 1t was "dedi-
Gated" or not. and its comparative ac-
comphshment would shame that OF
most Chicago churches. That's bis
list, 500 men started back on the way
to citizenship by way OF an emporium
ity to earn the price OF decent lodg-
inss, decent clothes, and respectable
companionship. 1t is the price OF self
respect and self respect is a requisite
of decent living, usefulness and even
Of religion.
That Dawes hotel Is a splendid pri-
waite charity. 1t would be a paying
public investment The difference be-
tween 500 men earning wages and liv-
ing like human beings and 500 nums
may very readily be put into dollass
and cents to the credit or debit Of the
public. Six hundred men at labor sup
port a good sized little town. Six hum
dred buns cost twice what 500 good
men can earn.
The public perhaps can not equip
a Dawes hotel for every community
but II can furnish work at wages to
men who otherwise must seek the
purlieus, steal, starve or beg. Every
man should have a chance to work for
himself and the support Of his family.
It would cost less to furnish employ
menc for pay than to lodge and feed
unemployed to a dead loss to the pub
lie and the certain loss Of their own
self respect and citizenship. 1t vo:ld
be cheaper to offer every man out OF
lob something to do in order to TIDE
over a spell of unemployment than to
send his family to the poor house Or
dole out to them the grudging charity
OF the county. In short every man
ought to have chance to earn enough
to feed and shelter himself and his. II
he refuses the chaice he should De
worked to the same purpose under re-
straint, And 1t dosn't matter muea
whether conditions in Chicago or Mar
shalltown are considered. 1t all
amounts to the same thing In the emo
Summed up: II man Is to be de-
cent he must have a chance to keep
decert If he is to be self-eupportins
he must anid the opportunity always
II he is to be a good citizen he must
be given at all times the chance to re :
Itain his own self respect. II he is to
h. Religious he must have something
to thank God for.

Every "crisis" in q French Cabinet

Terror and another Man on Horseback.
OF late we have been regarding the
Republic with less apprehension and
looking for our horrors elsewhere. but
now. Just when we have begun to
think of the French Monarchists az
the apostles Of lost cause, Prof.
George Chatterton-H Hin. Of the Uni

DOM that the republic is a sad failure.

Church Of Worcester. Mass, In an

the University Of Chicago.
Mr. Foster answers his own CUES.
ton In the affirmative and urges relig-
ious leaders to emphasize modern
views in relation to the scriptures.
Modern psychology has furnished
an entirely new apologize for the
Christian faith" declares Mr.. Foster
Heretofore the christian faith has
been vindicated largely upon basis OF
history. and the authenticity Of its
scriptures. For this reason the modern
critical and historical methods wrought
havoc among the faithful.
THE doctrine Of the incarnation
which declares that in some way God
became man Is as utterly unthinkable
philosophical proposition as can well
be conceived, And yet, are there not
far-reaching and definite reactions that
can be traced as a result OF the belief
of this doctrine upon the human race?
1T IS safe to say that when science
shall be able to utter itself In elemental
terms its conclusion, to say. the least
Of them, will in no sense be found to
disagree essentially with the con-
illusions Of theology, stated in terms
Of universal science.
1.-THE tragedy Of our church life al
ways has been that Christians have
been unwilling to discover the truth
from the authoritative statement Of the
truth.
IF theology, therefore, can be fairly
called scientific, 1t becomes at once i'm
perative that we find. at all cost. a
scientific method by which to give 1t
expression. A scientific attitude toward
the scriptures will be the first step In
the process"

Religion Merely Risht Lixins.

Frederick w. Mfiiar.l
Religion was defined az merely right
living by DR.. Frederick Millar. pastor
OF the Kimbark Avenue Universalist
church.
THE world judges mans religion,
not by his creed or prayers. but by
his conduct he said.
Dr. Millars sermon In part follows:
THE old theory that man was born
bad and that at conversion he was sud-
denly changed into saint is contrary
alike to holy scripture and to reason.
Men are not ms.de instant angels by
act Of prayer. and righteousness is not
something conferred In moment.
Salvation proceeds by the law OF
growth-slowly and through prolonged
processes.
Goodness is a universal gift; 1t ts IN
every soul, placed there by an all
wise Creator. and not later creation
as the old theologians have asserted.
Salvation is character building, a
growth that comes by yielding to the
impulse for good. according as men
obeys the law Of God.

PARCEL POST
BUSINESS

FIRST 2 YEARS OPERATION
GOES BEYOND DREAMS OF
"FATHER OF SYSTEM"

Washington. d. c., Dec. 31.-The
first two years operation of the par

nomenal growth and the revenues 1t
has brought into the public treasury
have placed the postoftice depart
nient upon a self-supporting basis,
acording to government officials, who
have been checking UP the items. The
lfost extravagant predictions OF Rep
resentative Lewis, the father OF the
parcel post" have been exceeded ny
the amount of parcel post business
during the second year Of its opera
tion.
Estimates of the amount of parcel
post business during the second year
of its operation.
Estimates OF the amount Of parcel
post revenue range between $40,00U,-
600 and $50,000,0JO during the year
now closing. If books and catalogues
are included, it is stated the total
parcel post revenue will aggregate
about $60,000,000 So heavy was the
Christmas parcel post traffic that it
is believed the total number of pack
ages during the present year Will
total 1900, ,00AU0O The figures outdo
the dreams of Representative Lewis,
who did not believe the public would
accept the parcel pos. so overwhelm-
ingly during the first two or three
years of its operation.
The postoffice department checks
Up the amount of traffic and revenueI
in parcel twice year. A complete
record of parcels is kept in the fifty
largest postoffices for a period or
fifteen days. The last October fif
teen day record showed that 10000,
900 packages were handled. The
fifty largest postoffices handle about
tW o. thirds of the total parcel posi-
business, which makes about 100000,
900 packages a month, or 100000
600 a year The last April fifteen

This period of nine days resulted

a defensive attitude The checking Of
every movement made by him in his
indeavor to re-capture ground lost to
us made our advantage the greater.
SIT is proper to say that at various
points along the front, particularly
near Arras on the western boundary
of the Argonne district and near YER
