The church's best defense is its deeds OF
humaneness, is what il does to help along.
There is not much feeling nor discussion
in the United States today between the
Catholics and the Protestants. But history
is full Of the most rancorous disputes on
that issue.
Nothing can conceal the fact, however,
that every church is rival Of every other
church in the field Of humanity And the
point ! wish to bring out here is that the
superiority of any one organization to an
other will be determined in the end not by
argument nor by money, nor by prestige,
nor by any other than one thing alone,
which is Service
With this in mind. am glad to call at
tention to the great work which the knights

Church. is undertaking This work IS TO
establish community centers and get hold
of boys under p years of age IN order TO
assist them in right living.
Thousands of boys have been arraigned
for juvenile delinquencies. To commit

On the contrary. it oftentimes makes him

that it should 1t is exactly as President Wilson de-
cared in his recent mesSage-that increased wages
are justified when other means are at hand to com

Considered in the light of the present 5O-cent dol

men, for instance. are TO get minimum OF 40 and
maximum of S165 after three years service, or
about $75 to $50 month"; if we figure the dollar at its
pre-war worth.
Certain it is that the wages thus decreed are not
excessive.
Yet the total aggregates $1500000 more than the
previous city payroll The taxpayers will have to meet
