graves of the dead who gave their
lives for the cause, beside the resting7
place OF those who fought for country
and humanity, and while looking in
the faces Of the living, the venerable
survivors Of the conflict, Is fitting
time for new birth Of patriotism

uals to each other and to the nation.
We should not wait for the clash Of
resounding arms to arouse us; the
frIghtful crisis Of today is sufficient
to awaken our patriotism and to give
to us all a more earnest regard each
for the other and an abatement Of our
absorbing seltishness and desire for
personal advancement. No less than
the demand for national strength and
solidarity is the obligation for an
awakening which shall improve the re-
latIons among the varied and some
times warning elements of our citizen
ship. Peace abroad is desirable, but
peace, harmony and united effort at
home, are indispensable.
Again, 1t is a time to turn away
from the callous disregard for the af-
fairs of the city, the state, and the ma
ton and to give to them the same in
toliigent and earnest consideration
which Is given to individual advance

The industrial department has
been seeking to put into practical
demonstration the answer to the
question What Is the function of the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
tlon to the industrial7"
One OF the terms used frequently
by one of those who told the story
Of Jesus's life Is this "in the midst. !"
This defines The relation of Jesus
Christ and hence of the Christian to
human life and activity az almost no
other term does. Hence, we start out

The function, then, Of this asso-

terrifying "Christ In tho midst" The
satherhood OF God, and the brother
hood of man, to the industrial move
ment. In the past the association
has probably laid Its greatest empha-
sis upon those thinga which express
a fathers loving care-prutectlon Of
home, provision Of food und rest, by
providing boarding homes, lunch
rooms, and certain religious and ed
dcauonal opportunities. 1t was nee
essary that women OF leisure manage
and finance these features which re-
CURED an outlay of large sums of
money and great Judgment and
knowledge.
The Management thus assumed
largely paternal attitude toward the
young women OF business and indus
try, and this organization which
claimed to he democratic became In
large measure autocratic. While re-
sponstve to fair play and friendship,
the young women In business and In
dustry have resented this paternal
attitude and patronage. and there has
been discovered within tho ussocia-
ton need for the application of that
other root principle, the brotherhood
Of man: girls desiring to have real
part in this great organization.
AS we feel the pulse OF the great
industry movement Of the age, we see
the need of the young women in In
dustry being led by wise, experienced
Christian women from their own
ranks. Through Its newborn child
