Reily, president; Mrs. Dydia A. Forney, vice-president; Donald Mc- Cormick, secretary; Charles A. Kun kel, treasurer; John S. Splcer, James M. Damberton, Harry B. McCormlck, Miss Rachel Pollock, Warren A. Zol linger, Henry C. Demmlng, Mrs. Wil liam JE. Bailey and Mrs. M. W. Jacobs, say 8: The Harrisburg Benevolent Asso ciation was incorporated in 1879 "To relieve the worthy poor of Harris burg." It is the legatee of the John C. Brua fund of SI,OOO and of one tenth of the Income of the A. R. Shel lenberger memorial fund, and on this account has continued its corporate existence, while the remaining funds are all contributed by friends who are reached only by this annual re port. For six years in succession it has l distributed its funds through the Asso ciated Charities, which has no emer gency fund, and in this manner saves administration expense and reaches the needy in the most direct way. The association organized at the meeting of the contributors called on November 5, 1914, by electing the of ficers and directors listed above. Miss Hazel Clark, general secretary, of the Associated Charities; reports as follows: The Associated Charities uses no funds for relief, except those solicited for special cases to carry out some special plan for reconstruction. For its material relief work, it is fortunate in being able to administer the funds of the Harrisburg Benevolent Associa tion for families visited by its work ers. The most frequent criticism of fered against the investigations made by an Associated Charities is that the families suffer while the information is being secured. Such is not the case ivith this organization, for an order can immediately be drawn upon the funds of the Benevolent Association to supply the immediate need and a decision made later concerning fur ther help. By registering the names of fami lies helped, in the clearing house of the Associated Charities, the directors of the poor ami the administrators of the police charity have been able to avoid a large amount of duplication and to learn the special kind of relief needed at the time. During the year the registration of the directors of the poor alone showed that about 45 per cent, of their families were known to the Associated Charities and a large number were receiving help from the Benevolent Association. This co operation assured economic and effec tive assistance to the needy as each agency assumed its share of the ex pense to Carry out a plan of relief. The lack of employment and a se vere winter made it necessary to sup ply nearly twice as much aid last year as the previous year. Three hundred and twenty-eight families and ninety six transients were assisted.

RICDFIELD New York, Dec. 7.—lt is expected that Congress will take action on the report presented by Secretary of Com merce Redtield to the Maritime Ex change on the Coast and GeodeUc Sur vey, the Lighthouse Service, Steamboat Inspection and Bureau of Navigation, conducted by the federal department of which he is the head. Describing the equipment of the coast survey at antiquated and the other branches as undermanned, Redfield predicted a succession of marine disasters as a result of conditions in the depart ment. He charged that Congress is responsible for the broken-down sys tem, since it refuses to apropriate money enough to maintain the service at the proper standard. ROOKS AND MAGAZINES. The part that tho Psalms have played in national as well as in in dividual crises is well brought out in Rowland E. Prothero's "The Psalms in Human Life" (Dutton). "The Indian Mutiny," says Mr. Prothero, "does not afford the latest example of the influence of the Psalms on our secular history. Even in the pre sent century they have shown their power on the battlefields of nations. Among the Boer forces during tho South African War, and among tho Boer prisioners in Bermuda, the favorite Psalm was CXLVI. In his speech at the opening of the Volks raads on May 7, 1900, Kruger applied the words of Psalm LXXXIII to tho struggle with the British Empire. "This Psalm" argued Kruger "speaks of the attacks of the Evil One on Christ's Kingdom, which must no longer exist. And now the same words come from Salisbury, for he, too, says, "This people must not ex ist," and God says 'This people shall exist.' Who will win? Surely, the Lord Salisbury and Cham berlain stand convicted by their own words: 'They shall not exist,' but the Lord says, 'This people shall exist,' and Christ is our Commander-in-chief, Who leads us with His Word.'
