Community's Fight Against Disease Breeders.
New Orleans stands unique before the world
because OF the remarkable fight its citizens have
Ioade against disease breeders. The city is
located in a spot OF natural beauty, with sub
tropical surroundings that greatly add to the
comforts OF existence there, but which also offer
the natural drawbacks incident to the prevalence
OF diseases peculiar to the region For genera
lions the city was periodically scourged by, and
never free from, yellow fever and malaria. Its
people we're finally aroused. and through the
application OF scientific methods exterminated
or drove off the disease-carrying mosquitoes,
and now is as free from fevers as any city can
hope TO be.
Then came a new menace, in the form of
bubonic plague. which did gain a foothold, but
the citizens again Rrrayed themselves in battle
against this pest OF humanity and by making
the town rat-proof have done away with the
danger. Another achievement along this line
is also worthy OF note, although It is not quite
SC SNOWY on parade as has been the conquest OF
the mosquito and the rat. Hay fever was taken
into full consideration, and by a vigorously
pushed campaign against the rag weed now
known to be the chief cause OF that distressing
alment, the 5000 victims of the disorder In the
Crescent City found relief from their affllction
several weeks earlier this season than ever
before.
Many cities have won a place in the history
OF the world by outstanding sieges, or through
some other form of unusual effort, but none OF
them should have brighter place than belongs
10 New Orleans for its combat against conditions
that threatened health. The spirit OF deter
mined cooperation shown in these health cam
pRigns is most encouraging example for com.

Social Service Of the Church.

Touching firmly on one Of the really weak
spots in the modern church, Bishop George
Allen Beecher calls public attention to the
failure OF organized religion in the matter Of
social service. Charity, coldly or perfunctorily
administered, is not the limit OF the duty Of the
church towards those who are needy OF who are
struggling against odds for the better things OF
life. That church is inert which merely looks
after the spiritual welfare OF fits members, with
no thought for their social wants. OF its oppor-
tunity for giving to the community something
OF an impetus along lines that lead finally to
better ways of living through closer personal
association. II is not enough to relieve a mans
pressing need for food and clothing. OF to tell
him how to avoid evil. lie must be given some
thing TO satisfy the social longing, and II the
church does not provide Il he will find II else
where.
Most Of the success Of the Salvation Army
rests on its policy Of soup, soap, salvation"
direct reversal OF methods against which Gem
oral Booth revolted, but which generally persist
in the older church organizations. Some have
followed the Salvation Army in It's practice OF
first feeding. then cleansing. and finally saving
those to whom IL ministers, and others must IL
they are going to measure up TO the standards
they have set for themselves. II IL not enough
to call sinners attention to means OF escape
from perdition; he must have real assistance in
his stride against the natural propensity TO
vrongdoing, and, for the matter OF that, even
the best of us need this help in order that we
pay keep our feet the right road.
The church that goes In strongest for social
service Is the one that will make the most head
way against the tendency OF the times to drift
away from religion.
