It would not be discreet to quote 1 further and tell the venerable church i boards of that man's denomination j . from which he la now withdrawing his I usual subscription. Mis case, however I Is typical of n general mood of inquiry and almost of Philistinism, which has] developed among laymen. Thev are' reappraising their benevolences." and I ruthlessly cutting off their gifts to relatively unlmoprtant objects. Hon "Honest liruft" tie-Is' Into Charity ! Because church folk are trustful un- ! questioning givers to causes which thev I believe to be well authenticated, there I have thriven, under the shadow of the church, a largo number of enterprises whose output has scarcely been in pro portion to their income: and the real necessity for whose existence la not easily demonstrable. Some of these are even to be found as denominational ' boards. Most of them, however, are auxiliary and independent agencies, subject to the sufficient scrutiny or control, although they have an array of Important names on their directorates. The salaried of ficers are usually high paid, and it is whispered that some of (hem are sorely exercised to find ways of spending their income that will be consistent with their original purpose. Of the swarms of petty "charities." philanthropies and "religious" organi zations and institutions which arc merely a cloak for extracting money from credulous givers for the support of their promoters, it is needless to write. Every large community has them. The psuedo "armies," which Imitate the Salvation Army in collect ing Christmas dinner funds on street corners are a common case In point. Most of these have been exposed by le gitimate charitable organizations. Now, all of a sudden. Mars summons givers into a strange new school of economy and efficiency. The tremendous pressure of special calls has forced people to choose carefully the causes to which they shall give. The relative in significance of many successful benevo lent claimants of money is revealed by the red light of war. Taken along with the hard times which have pre vented most persons from being thoughtlessly lavish, the new and un usual calls have brought about a new order of discriminating giving that will he felt long after the war Is over. Whether an official board of revela tion will ever he secured or not. the same end will be accomplished unof ficially. Nothing quite like the present silua- I tlon lins over before confronted Ameri can churches. Usually their atmos r phero In tilled with the cry "Give! Give! ; Give!" Now the word is "retrench, In j order to serve." • Usual operations. ! lllte the denominations! programs for I | church erection, are being reduced for j church members are giving to the prl many causes of tlie relief of war's suf ferers, in Europe and on the mission field. One man known to me. a generous j giver to all church causes, says that | for 1915 he has decided, after careful consideration of the resources and j needs of the respective boards of Ills (denomination, to withhold his usual gifts from all of them, except the foreign mission board, and there he will Increase his gift, because of the added war emergency work of that bos rd. The paralysis of German and French] relations with the outside world has caused their missionaries to be gener ally withdrawn, and the foreign mis sion work conducted by them has come upon the shoulders of tv>~ American societies. The British mission boards are thus far suffering no depletion of I funds, and are even helping out the other bodies. Not onlv the normal foreign mission work of these European societies, but also the relief of the suffering In many mission lands, has come heavily upon the American churches at this time, and h War Emergency Fund has been creat ed V»v the rore ,,r n boards of most de | nominations. While the receipts of some have slumped, yet on the whole the churches are rising handsomely to Ithe appeal for the hurt pnd huti«-"y and homeless In mission lands. The needs of Syria, where Jewa and Chris tians alike are suffering sorely, makes a peculiar call upon American gener osity. j Hard Tiroes For Incidental Causes The pinch and pressure of the new carefulness In giving Is being felt keenly by the large number of organi zations subsidiary to the regular church boards. There are scores of these so cieties. which In one way or another seek to supplement the efficiency of the usual ecclesiastical machinery— missionary movements, temperance bodies, young people's organizations, educational projects, etc. Now, with the official church boards suffering from depleted Incomes, these "extra" organizations are scarcely able to sur- I vlve. This is not an unmixed evil. It is time that the benevolence of American Christians, which pours out money at the rate of approximately a million dol lars a day, should be more carefully measured and more discreetly guided. Reckless giving is not always real phil anthropy. The Immense demands of the elemental needs of war's victims may yet prove to be the occasion for j the readjustment and systematizing oAei the lavish gifts of the churches. w YOU CAN SKMj OR BIT f ' Vti any, tl A business without mu*elegrapli d' trouble through the JT Classified Ads.
