 "eo to Jail"
 This was among several directions suggested by Professor Gilbert in the closing session of the morning. for improving a community through the socialized church. Cleanup cam paigns evening classes, children's gar dens, reading rooms church fedora tton, etc, were among other plans suggested. Hospitals are all right, but if q haffar Tn fa cial service seeks not only to relieve the distress, but to destroy the cause The speaker closed with a considera- ton of several of the causes of misery and poverty. Among them is death of the bread winner. lack of insurance, bad habits the liquor evil intermit- tent work in the factories, labor saw ing machinery. Aside from intemper- ance these causes are social, not per sonal. Preventable diseases is a great cause. To swat the fly is religious. Pure air, pure food and pure water and well lighted tenements are abso- lutely needed to prevent disease. Camp Fire Postponed.

 Dean Bierney's Address.
 There was a large gathering at the tabernacle Tuesday evening when the speaker was Rev. l.. J. Bieney. D. D., dean Of the Boston University School of Theology. His theme was Personal EVangenSm. This world must be
 nothered and fathered up to God, said the speaker. It is through our human personality that the great personality of God is impressed upon humanity. John $. Huyler, of New York, gave a thousand dollars a day the last ten years of his life, for the cause of Christ, but he would also go to Water street and put his arms around the drunken buns. and pray for them, winning many to Christ. Such per sonal work is most effective. This law of personal influence is what the com. ing of the kingdom must depend upon. It is fundamental. The dean held the close attention of the audience by his forceful and inpassioned presentation of this most important subject
 pr. Bieney is to speak at the camp meeting next. Thursday, & week from today, having been secured by District Superintendent Scrivener for that date.
