St. Christopher's Mn
 Waterburians Interested in New Building Plan Late John Reid of Waterbury Took Interest in Friars Some Years Ago-Gave Life's Fortune.

To hundreds of Waterburians, who have made pilgrimages to the Franciscan shrine at Graymoor, St. Christopher's Inn is always an interesting sidelight of journey well worth making. The Inn known as the shelter of the Fran ciscan Friars of Atonement, is a rendezvous for homeless men. Over 150,000 of ife's derelicts have been given floor and a place to sleep at this hostelry within the past twenty years. It is now proposed to enlarge present accommoda- tions by a new five-story struc- tura capable of housing 500 men, which would be three times the present capacity.
 Some years ago the late John Reid of Waterbury gave his life's fortune to the Friars to aid young men to study for the priesthood. His donation was actually the starting point for the great de- velopment that has since marked the shrine of devotion for thou sands and the nearby inn, a ha- ven of refuge for the unfortunate.
 Nationally Known
 The monastery, and It's St. Christopher's Inn, is known na- tionally among hobtes. Many of them, working" the Hudson Riv- CT beat, which is considered par ticularly good for handouts, are known to pass the week ends at St. Christopher's Inn. It is a tra- dition among tramps that the size and frequency of handouts in most places on week ends are so

meager as to be hardly worth the

meager as to be hardly worth the effort.
 Besides hoboes, thousands of business and professional men, broken by finincial reverses, mis- fortunes in love, excessive drink ing, and other personal disasters, have found a temporary home at the inn. No Identification is re- quired, and no questions are asked. Each guest is required, to do chores for which his past experience has fitted him. There is no limit to the time 8 person may stay. The average individual stays six days, and one stayed fifteen years.
 Welfare Program
 The social welfare program of the friars among homeless men began in an accidental manner, and somewhat against the choice of the friars. When the Rev. Lewis T. Watson, an Episcopal priest of Kingston, N. Y, found- ed Protestant Episcopal re- ligious order dedicated to the ideals of St. Francis in 1900, he and his few associates, without support and almost penniless, es- tablished a monastrry here in Garrison and began eking out a precaric Us living.
 When beggars asked for help, the friars, unwilling to sacrifice the Franciscan principles which require the sharing of all earthly goods, scraped the barren larder to fill the request. The response of the beggars was to pass the word along, and their numbers grew. for them to do, but they kept coming just the same.
 20 Buildings
 Today there are more than twenty buildings at the monastery, including a shrine, a seminary and a convent, nearly all of them built at least in part by the home- less men. Steel work, stone quarry ing, plaster, brick laying, even murals, have been done by the drifters. Recently the latest build ing. a cafeteria for 500, built for the pious people who make pil- grimages to the monastery shrine, was designed by an architect among the homeless men, its con- struction was directed by an en- gineer among them, and the car- pentering and other tasks were done by other skilled workr1en from the inn.
 Father Wattson's order joined the Roman Catholic Church in 1909. He is still in charge.

NEW PENALTIES
 VIOLATIONS
Labor Laws to Be Strong. Iy Fortified By Recent
 Legislation

Hartford, Conn, Aug. Estate Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher today called attention to an act passed at the last session of the legislature which provides penalties for law violations where no previous penalties were provided for The ac brings within its scope sev- eral laws with which the Labor De- partment is charged with enforce ment.
 The commissioner cited the law which reads: Any person who shall be convicted of 8 violation of any provision of the general statutes for which violation no penalty is ex- pressly provided shall be fined not more than One Hundred Dollars"
 Labor department laws which heretofore have carried no penalty for violations include the follow ing: Section 5211, relatign to care of a master for his servants safety; Section 3012, relating to the fee for an inspection of a boiler; Section 30l6, failure to post a valid certi- ficate of inspection of premises and Section 2363, concerned with sani- tary conditions in public laundries.
 The lew relating to servants safe- ty provides that 1t shall be the duty of the master to exercise reasonable care to provide for his servants a reasonably safe place in which to work, reasonably safe appliances and instrumentalities for his work and to exercise care in the appointment of competent vice-principal.

 National Problems
 National problems like unem- ployment, social security, and pub lie health are within the purview of religious education of Catholics, Jews and Protestants alike," he con- tinued.
 Another important session will be that devoted to the part religious educators can play in educating for citizenship in a democracy. Should special civic education be included in the church-school curriculum How can the idea of public office as trusteeship" be made more oper- ative2 What is taught as to the place of pressure groups" identi- fled with 8 faith? Consideration of questions of this nature, it is hoped, will go far in defining the scope of action appropriate to organized re- ligious agencies.
 The role that religious education should play in the evaluation of right and wrong in personal con- duct will be taken up at one of the meetings along with the question of civil liberties. Regarding the lat ter, Dr. Clinchy said: We would like to know, from an educational point of view, the limits of censor- ship and the effectiveness of self determined codes of conduct versus the authoritarian method" Concluding Session
 Religious education and cultural differences form the basis of dis cussion at the concluding session, Sept. 1, when such topics as the type of self-criticism, if any, which the church-school directs toward the cultural features of its own faith group and the types of community projects which advance inter-group understanding, are scheduled.
 Among the religious education leaders who have signified their in- tention of taking part are Dr. Arlo A. Brown of Drew University; Rab- bi Levi A. Olan of Worcester; Prof. J. V. Thompson of Drew University and Father Gregory Feige of New York city.

Sunday, August 6, 1899.
 "SPIRIT" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Corin- thians 2.11: What man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God"
 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Gala tians 5: 1, 5, 16: stand fast there fore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not en- ttnagled again with the yoke of bondage For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of right eousness by faith This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye -wthelustofthefiesh "nohfs. .ltlafilul shall not fulfil the lust of the f1esh.'
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: ITO have one God and avail yourself of the power of Spirit, you must love God supremely. The flesh lusteth against the Spirit. It is not wise to take halting and halfway position or to expect to work equally with Spirit and mat ter, Truth and error. There is but one way--namely, God and His idea which leads to spiritual being" (p. 67:17-19. 22-26).

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.

In Asa we have studied the life and service of a king whose bene- volent reign was founded in trust in tru of God and of his people. Asa was the son of an unworthy father who had made so serious a mess of his own life and kingship the kingdom has been disrupted early in his reign.
 But Asa was more fortunate in the son who succeeded him, for he followed in his footsteps in every respect. Like his father Asa, Jeho- shaphat had to face major prob- lem in the worship and ideals of the people. The vigor of the mea- sures that he took to suppress idol atry indicates the hold that false worship had taken upon the people. False worship means false ideals and practices; and this was particu. larly true where the worship of Baal, into which the unfaithful were lapsing, was mixed up with licentious and debasing rites, and the moral practices that were con- trary to thep urity of family and social life upon which the supreme teaching of the teachers and proph- cts of Israel laid such emphasis.
 
 There are times when the true king or statesman must show his strength of character and his capa- city for service as much in oppos- ing the popular trend as in ex- pressing the will of the people. In our modern democracy where so much stress is laid upon majority rule, we are apt to forget that there are great moral and social issues that are never settled by mere maj critics.
 In the long run it seems fairly well established in history that majority rule is better than mi- nority rule, and that the voice of the people may be more nearly the voice of God than the voice of some corrupt or self-seeking ruler of the some self-seeking ruling class. But there are times when waves of popular debasement seem to sweep over a people. We have In fact stressed something of this in our recent American life. The im- mense increase of drinking and drunkenness, the widespread and deeply rooted development of all forms of gambling, the great in- crease of marital infidelity and di- vorce, with Q general lowering of standards in relations between the sexes-these and many other things have been very acute problems in recent years.
 The fitness of leaders is to be judged not by the extent to which they yield to popular clamor and demand, but by the firmness with which even ct considerable sacrifice

Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders in religious education will meet at the 1889 Williamstown In- stitute of Human Relations to dis cuss the objectives and techniques of their respective system of reli- gious instruction according to an announcement today by Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, director. The Institute, which this year will be held from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1 on the campus of Williams College, will have as its subject, citizenship and Religion" {"
 Common Aims
 Some of the vital questions which will be discussed are: What are the common aims and purposes of Pro- testant, Catholic and Jewish reli- gious instruction What can be done by the three groups to eliminate the common garden variety of prejudice es? To what lengths can the church-school teacher go in pre- senting people of other faiths and cultures in a sympathetic and ap- preciative light while still teaching loyalty to ones own group? What can be done about indifference to- ward religion?
 Dr. Clinchy said that Dr. Frank Jennings, executive secretary of the Massachusetts Council of Churches would have charge of leading this daily program which will feature five discussion meetings. Arranged to provide 8 maximum amount oi time for free discussion by those at. tending the sessions, there will be no slong addresses, the discussion centering around the subject of tht day which will have been previous. ly treated by representatives of tn. three faiths in the morning session

Just quiet summer
 In a cottage by the sea, Lots of fun for the children And especially you and me. All of June we plan and pack And make our car truck, We get moved in by July four, Just about, with any luck. Another week and we're settled, We start the summer session In our cottage by the sea We've definitely taken possession. All is well for few days, We swim and boat and play, And life sort of seems to us Happy day by day. But-along about August first We begin to have callers, Lots of folks keep dropping in And beach and front porch lollers. friend or two stays the night, Sometimes our visitors number dozens, We never knew we had so many Friends and aunts and cousins. So you see our quiet summer In cottage by the sea Isn't as we pictured at first For the children and you and me.
