Say Church Is Going Backward
en- the Big Social Questions
National Leaders in Social Service Hold Two Lively
Conferences and Contemplate New Organization
BY THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER

Although not a line has as yet been
printed about them, there have re-
Gently been held in New York two con-
ferences of national leaders in social
service, which were more radical and
portentous TINA anything that has
definitely been on the religious hori-
zon in recent years. In a word. there
is strong group of men, representing
many denominations, who are deter
mined that the social program of the
Church, which was loudly heralded
half dozen years ago. shall be put
through in spite of present eccleSiasti-
cal tendencies. 1t is openly charged
that religious bodies have become re-
dictionary in part from fear of loss of
revenue. The Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America was
freely criticised for it's alleged failure
to live up to it's own social program.
While | am not at liberty to name
the participants of these two confer
ences, / can testify that they were not
irresponsible zealots, but men of
strength and proved leadership; many
of them holding high positions in de-
n~minational and other religious or
Sanizatious. When their purposes ma
ture in action, the names will appear.
The first conference, which met at
the end of December, was attended
by twenty-five men. At that time a
committee of five well-known men was
appointed to report back to another
meeting held few days ago. which
was attended by thirty men. The de-
bate in both gatherings was vigorous
and candid, and there was by no
means unanimous agreement upon the
points up for consideration. Now an
other conference is to be held short
ly to proceed with the organization of
a new national body pledged to put
through the social service platform
adopted seven years ago by the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
That platform declared, the
churches must stand for equal rights
and complete justice for all men in
all stations in life; for the right of all
men TO the opportunity of self-main-
tenance; for the right OF workers to
some protection against the hardShips
often resulting from the swift crises
of industrial change; for the protec-
ton of the workers from dangerous
machinery, occupational disease, in
jurieS and mortality: for the abolition
of child labor; for the suppression of
the sweating system: for the release
from employment one day in seven;
for a living wage as minimum in
every industry; for the highest wage
that each industry can afford: for the
most equitable division of the products
of industry that can be ultimately de-
vised; for the abatement of poverty"
Say the Church Falls Down
The preliminary proposal for a cam
paign of social service, which accom-
panied the invitation to the confer
ence, quoted Bishop Williams of the
Protestant Episcopal Church as say
ing:

BANIsHEs CATARRH ALSO

For catarrh, head colds, sore throat,
snuffles. etc, you simply put a few
drops of Hyomei in the inhaler which
comes with every complete Hyomei
Outfit and then breathe its air for a
few minutes, four times a day. BY
breathing Hyomei in this way every
particle of air that enters the air pas
sages of the throat and head and goes
into the lungs is charged with heal
ing balsam that kills the germs and
bacilli of catarrh and soothes and al
lays all inflammation.
Its action is rapid and lasting. The
first days use of Hyomei will show an
improvement and in short time there
should be no further trouble from ca
tarrh.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
1t is inexpensive and If after using you
can say it has not helped YOU, your
druggist will refund your money. H..
C. Kennedy sells it under such a
guarantee.
