DIR. SMITH TALKS
I. OF CONFERENCE
Says urch Has Never
Changed Attitude On
AmusementS

The Rev. III. Lester Smith, who
returned Thursday from the gen
eral conference in Saratoga, says
that press dispatches were misiead'
ing regarding the church's attitude
on prescribed amusements.
The church has never changed
it's attitude in regard to this" he
declared. We only discussed the
best way Of dealing with the prob
lem. The report that the confer
ence had under consideration

ing, dancing and theaters vas man

DR.. Smith said II was the great

tory of the church. II had a larger
delegated attendance than any pre-
vious gathering, and it Was gener-
ally more progressive and aggres-
sive, without being radical.
DIT. Smiths Sunday morning ser

of the church toward social reform

work among the Canadian troops.
In India the Christians adopted the
heroic purpose Of sending Y. M
&C. A. secretary with every Indian
regiment that left Bombay. And In
dia herself agreed to pay the bills.
Thus the first line OF Y. NJ c. A.
service has to do with the men be-
fore they go TO the trenches. There
are literally millions OF men in the
training camps of the different coun-
tries, all wrested from their normal
ways and habits. To these the asso-
citation has taken its various forms
Of ministry. The British associations
have maintained work In over 1000
training camps, and no American
money or men have been needed for
this work. But AT the base camps
in Egypt and Mesopotamia and
France and Austria-Hungry. Ameri-
cans. however. have found field OF
service.
Little Is made public concerning
the Y. VI. c. A. "huts" that have
now been established in the rear
trenches, so that when men come
on duty from the service at the
front lire, they are ready for the
helping hand Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
There has been an immense distribu-
tion OF Bibles and Christian litera-
ture; correspondence facilities have
been provided; prayer meetings and
Bible study groups have been form
ed: music has been provided. Best OF
all, friendly counsel and comradeship
with the men have been maintained.
Never before have any Christian
agencies, except the chaplains. been
allowed to go directly 20 the front
as the Y. NJ. c A. workers in this
war.
One Of Mr.. Motifs telling phrases is
to the effect that there arc not less
than 5000, 900 men in military hos
pitfalls
These men are eager for Christian
services. They respond with touch
ing appreciation to the work that is
done for them. The Y. NJ c. A. in
the hospitals supplements. with
spiritual ministry, the service OF the
red cross and other agencies.
The American public has given
little thought TO the conditions In
volved In the great prison camps of
Europe. The Y. NJ. c. A. declares,
ssT.haf one of the most important
and possibly the most fruitful as
pect Of our work Is that conducted
among the men in the prison -of-war
camps. There are in these camps
on both sides of the struggle con-
siderab bly, more than 100000 men.
They are shut up in these enclos-
ures until the end of the war. Some
camps contain a few thousand men;
others something over $4,000" Tho
association erects an inexpensive
building, organizes the men. enlists
them In educational classes, con-
ducts Bible study and religious meet
ings, and most Of all. provides musi-
cal instruments.
One of the greatest needs OF the
prison work Ia for music. and the Z.
M. C. A. has undertaken to provide
musical instruments for every prison
camp in Europe.

Representative Tinkham Of Massachu-
sets yesterday introduced a bill pro-
viding that the Commissioners shall
not levy assessments for street OPEN
ings until the work of improving the

fore the benefits materialized and the
work of street opening began.
The bill has been referred to the Dis
trict committee, of which Mr.. Tinkham
is a member.
