Milton Strasburger and MIS. ~
man HoIlander addressed the dele
gates at 4 luncheon in Harvey's.
"Women in the Jewish center
should be of an equal status with
me- declared Miss Emily Soils
Cohen. field secretary of the Jewish
Welfare Board, before the confer
ence yesterday.
Activities should be so planned
in the centers that those that are
essential for women to engage IN
should be given place., said MISS
Cohen, ''and the men and women
who together plan for these acttvi-
ties should bear in mind the train
ing of woman as woman. as Jewess,
as citizen.
Women will be just as good or
just as bad force in the center
as. they. are citizens of the State.
If any behave in ways that do not
seem desirable, there will be miti-
eating influences OF the group. No
center, just as no State. can rise
above the standards of its women"
Miss Cohen declared the com
nunity center offered problems
which should be worked out by
men and women together.
Al survey by Herman Passa-
maneck showed general laxity
among members in paying dues.
More than 90 per cent of anticipated
dues are seldom collected, he said.
Such conditions cause centsrs to
operate on deficits, he said.
Passamaneck's study also dis
closed the small proportionate mem
bership of Jewish community
centers and Z. M. Fl. AS.
New York city, it was stated, has
in its largest Y. M. III. A. mem.
bership representing l per cent Of
the Jewish population in its vicin-
ity. Philadelphia, with q Jewish
population of 225,00O, has only 100
in its association.

Evidences of Christianity.

He that hath clean hands and a
pure heat.-Ps. XIV, 4.
An honest, earnest, true heart; a
hand that will not stain itself with
unjust gain, or hold an unequal bal
ance, or sign a deceitful letter, or
draw an unfair contract; a tongue
that will not twist itself to a false
hood or take up an evil report; a
soul that points as true as a COM
pass to the highest ideal of man.
hood or womanhood-these are the
marks and qualities of Gods people
everywhere.
And when these qualities are ex-
alted and manifested. when a Chris
tian means one whose word is his
bond, who can be trusted with un-
told treasure without fear of his
stealing. whose praise is an honor
and whose friendship is a jewel of
priceless value; one who does his
duty toward his fellow men as a
service to his God; one whom you
can more certainly trust, to paint
your house, or make your clothes, or
draw your will, or take care of the
health of your family, because he. is
a Christian; one whose outward In
tegrity Is the proof of inward
purity-then the church will have
great praise and large triumph.
