Y. M. c. A. MEETING. Rev. J. H. Newland Addresses Mems Gathering on War Topic.

The men who attended the r. NJ. c. A. rally Sunday heard one of the very best addresses given in recent months.
 Rev. J. H. Newland was the speaker and his topic was Making a Chain. The passage was taken from the prophecy of Ezekial. The speaker spoke of the necessity of making a strong chain of nations to fight against the fpe of liberty; also of the chain of individuals banded together with the one object of strengthening the whole body. He also urged the forging of a chain of friendships, and emphasis was placed on the kind of friendships we form. Some of them tend to pull us down and others pull us up to things high and noble.
 MT. Newland in closing urged his hearers in the forging of their chain of friendship not to forget the most important link in friendships chain namely, Jesus Christ, the best friend any man can possibly have.
 The musical part of the service was helpful, made so by the vocal solos sung by Hugh Kinder and the accom- paniment of Robert Otis. Secretary Hill was in charge of the service,

on the subject, Community Responsi- bility for Conservation of Life. Dr. Parker spoke as follows:
 We are in this war because it is right and we want to make this coun- try of ours safe for the individual to live in. When we entered this war we took great step and for the first time in history we told the secretary of war that the boys and men which are fighting should be kept free from moral temptations We realize that in the cantonments these temptations are many and that the moral temptations not only weaken the mind but they tend to weaken the. physical man. The temptations are many, but the greatest Of them are the sale of liquor and the so-called social evil. T&ese evils can be overcome with a systematic survey Of conditions not only in the cumps but in the community itself. Mary a community is overrun with places of evil resort but with right thinking these people may be exterrninated There have been plans worked out to protect the cantonments from these evils but" it is up to the community 10 help.
 ..~=s To Reclaim Women.
 It is for certain cases that the state farm for women has been proposed When a eommercialized woman is found near a cantonment she is driven out but nothing is done to reform her Or help her i'll any way. Many of these women with kindness shown them might be reclaimed and set at some good honest work
 Dr. Parker told of the unmarried mothers and how they might be talk. 1 en care of and the children brougfl up without the stigma of shame upoY them. She spoke of the work of thu l policewomen saying that the womer | could better understand the nature O
