Our young people see all this
and for respect they say nothing
but stay away from the worshi-
ping assembly till they either
drop out or find that true reli-
gion is not mans actions. This
put me in mind of the story. A
little girl was lost in the forest
the young man that had been
seen with her in the afternoon
was found and accused of kid
mapping the girl. The whole
village was up in arms, they ga
thered around the Young man,
began to beat and abuse him till
he was insensible. When he came
to himself they asked him where
she was, he said, 20 hunt for her
she may, even now, be torn to
peices by wolves, finish killing me
SO you can 60 and find her, don't
waste any more time on me, kill
me and go to her rescue.
So it is many are tongue
lashed and beaten into insensibi-
lity, driven out from our relig
ious assembly by long Drawn out

many of our young people are
being torn and killed spiritually

people who this fits, say, ooh he

Use and scrutinize the practical
applica tior of our preaching the
Gospel that we might be saved
and save others and practice our
true kindness, love, fellowship
and fraternity OF Christian life.
Unless we round to and give our
Young people the proper christ
ian training in their education
we are to blame for the dreaded
evil that is becoming such men

| am afraid If Jesus was to call
at some oi our churches next
Sunday and ask for the privilege
to speak, he would be asked
what religion are you going to

Fleeing Visitors
To London

A doctor on % visit 10 London from
Utah has just been the victim OF a con-
fidence trick by which he has lost 80.
according to The Times" When visiting
the British Museum he made the &C
quaintance Of a plausible individual. who
invited him to tavern. where they were
joined by another. This man represented
that he had Just arrived from Ireland.
and he told the well worn story that ne
had been left fortune by an uncle i'm
Pennsylvania and that he WAS legally
bound to give away a substantial part Of
it in charity. The American and the
Irishman were then shown round the
city. and eventually the doctor was per
suaded to cash a bank draft for 10,
which he handed Oye~ To- the pair i'm a
tavern in Cheapside. They soon made an
excuse 10 leave, and when the doctor had
become tired Of waiting for their return
he reported mis- loss to the police.
In another case "A Chicago merchant
was robbed Of fl7o He was taken to the
city by a man whom he met in West
minister Abbey. and then. as in the other
case a third party appeared. This per
son professed to he wealthy. and visited
several banks In Lombard Street The
merchant, however became suspicious
and took an omnibus to return TO the
West End, but the two accomplices in
sisted on accompanying him. Soon they
suddenly left the omnibus. and later the
American found that his pocketboo<.
which contained thirty-two e. notes and
about so i'm gold had been stolen from
his hip pocket.-Tit- Bits.

THE DISCUsSloE OF FUND DIS
TRIBUTION.

single paragraph IN the report
under discussion is devoted 10 the ques-
ton whether such fund should ne
distributed by state or city or through
private channels IT enters into no ar
gument on the subject, but the whole
evnerience Of the association as set
forth in the report raises DOUBT
whether under state or municipal con-
troll there could he that necessary eN-
ercise Of discretion.
ON the other hand. the pamphlet has
this 10 say:
at is highly important in our opin-
ion that similar needs in different ram
lilies should he met with some approach
10 consistency, that there should be a
degree Of uniformity as to methods and
standards Of treatment. The very first
essential in the administration of any
fund created or contributed for the aid
Of widows and their children should be
that Of universally of treatment
Without such controlling principle
there is bound TO come unfair discrim-
nation. provoking of a sense Of in
Justice. q feeling of bitterness and re
sentiment toward a policy Of relief
which gives TO one family what, for no
apparent. understandable reason, it re-
fuses 10 another.
Certain conditions which must he
met by those desiring to receive aid
must. Of course, be made. But they
must be Of nature easily understood
by ala statistical statement cstab-
fishing beyond question such facts as
widowhood. the number and ages Of
the children. the resources and needs
of the family. At the same time II
must be made plain TO the mother
under what conditions the aid Is given
and what will be required of her 10 as
sure its continuance. This done. the
necessary aid should start at once, and
all should be treated alike
But reference IL here had more par
ticularly 10 the present practice OF
granting few widows pensions and

The object of the pamphlet Is TO define
the distinction between pension and
relief and 10 raise the question whether
all widows with dependent children
should not receive pensions which
would permit them 10 spend most OF
their time at least at home instead of
impairing their health and strength
and ncglectine their children through
the necessity of having to scrub floors
i'm Offices or department stores or work
in factories.
The association has granted fifty pen
sions to a. many widows families since
December 1872 OF these seven have
been discontinued. three by reason Of
remarriase. three because the children
had increased in age and earning

we have not been engaged in reliet
work for these many years" say these
social workers. without learning that
much is needed in the lives Of our ueo-
pie other than mere material relief;
that people do not always need what
they most want, nor want what they
most need. Yet have we also learned
that where the income Of family is
below d certain point the family must
of necessity deterorate by reason Of IN
improper and unfit housing; that the
lack of these elementary yet quite nee
essary things will OF itself mean
dwarfed, stunted, inefficient lives.
Food. clothing and shelter arc for the
poor, as they are for the more prosper
Gus, essential preliminaries 10 hu-
manized life, necessary for the mere
maintenance Of the functions Of the
body in normal state. Any adequate
programme Of treatment of widows and
their children must give assurance that
at least this indispensable minimum
shall be made possible TO each and all
alike.
Further. the assistance given must
be Of sufficient amount 500 that ,hc
mother will not be required 10 work
under conditions that mean the break
ing of health and strength or the neg
lect Of her children. In some cases the
weekly income Of the family must Of
necessity be supplied entirely by the
relief organization having charge OF
the family; in others, the organization
may only have to supplement the earn
ings of an older child, or in some in
stances those Of the mother herself;
again, there may be friends or rela
tives able and willing to assist in part.
BE that as it may. the plan made for
the family must bring TO the mother
the assurance Of definite weekly in

aIysis Of the conditions and needs q

ply the normal demands OF family
