FRIDAY EVENING, " HARRISBURG !&&&&$ TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 11, 1016 Say Church 1$ Going Backward en the Big Social Questions National Leaders in Social Service Hold Two Lively Conferences and Contemplate a New Organization By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBI.KK Although not a line has as yet been j printed about them, there have re- I cently been held In New York two con ferences of national leaders In social service, which were more radical and portentous thna anything that has definitely been on the religious hori zon in recent years. In a word, there is a strong: group of men. representing j many denominations, who are dcter ! mined that the social program of the i Church, which was loudly heralded half a dozen years ago, shall be put through in spite of present ecclesiasti j cal tendencies. It Is openly charged that religious bodies have become re actionary in part from fear of loss of : revenue. The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America was freely criticised for its allewd failure | to live up to its own social"program. While 1 am not at liberty to name (he participants of these two confer ences. I can testify that they were not ! irresponsible zealots, but men of strength and proved leadership; many of them holding high positions In de nominational and other religious or ganizations. When their purposes ma ture in action, the names will appear. The first conference, which met at the end of December, was attended I by twenty-five men. At that time a | committee of five well-known men was appointed to report back to another : meeting held a few days ago. which ; was attended by thirty men. The de bate in both gatherings -was vigorous and candid, and there ■was by no means unanimous nrgeement upon the points up for consideration. Now an other conference is to be held short ly to proceed with the organization of a new national body pledged to put I through the social service platform adopted seven years ago by the Fed eral Council of Churches. That platform declared. "the . churches must stand for equal rights and complete justice for all men in 1 all stations in life: for the right of all men to the opportunity of selt'-main jtenance; for the right of workers to some protection against the hardships . often resulting from the swift crises of industrial change: for the protec tion of the workers from dangerous machinery, occupational disease, in juries and mortality: for the abolition I of child labor: for the suppression of 'the sweating system: for the release from employment one day in seven: for a living wage as a minimum in every industry: for the highest wage that each industry can afford: for the most equitable division of the products I of industry that can be ultimately de |vised: for the abatement of poverty."

Great I movements, essentially religious, for • the establishment of these ends are J sweeping over the land. But the : church, as an ecclesiastical body, is out of touch with these movements. ' She speaks timidly upon such matters, I if at all." '' The document went on to say: • 1 "There can be no question as to I I whether the Gospel of Jesus is big • 1 enough to meet the present-day social 'and religious situation. The real ! question is, ls«the Church bi* enough > j to apply it?" ! j "Already in this country there are •; fully forty million persons who are at ; least nominally connected with the ■; Protestant Church. These have it j- within their power to accomplish any social reform which they really desire to make operative. The 200,000 min • isters in the Church could alone ac ■ complish this result. "It is a serious question, however. ; j whether present-day ecclesiastical or ■ ' ganizations reflect the social conscious ness of the membership of the Church. J These ecclesiastical bodies, are, for the | most part, dependent upon large sums of money for their maintenance and I support. This support, it is generally ' 1 believed, comes mainly from those who ' are opposed to an aggressive program which may include economic justice ! j * * * It must be apparent from all 1 this that the official Boards of the ; Church cannot, at present at any rate. ; take the place of leadership in social ; service." I I This long statement also laid stress ion the importance of the utter dem- I ocracy of the new movement with '; clergy and laity on absolute eualtty. Sonic Pungent Questions ! The "Suggested Program For Dis cussion," which was in the hands of 1 the participants of the first conference, i contained eighteen questions, of which ;|the following are samples: "Do present-day ecclesiastical or -1 ganizations reflect the social convic ■ tions of the membership o£ the 1 church? ' "Can tho official boards of the • church take tho place of leadership : in social service? 1 "To what extent has the social ser >; vice program adopted by the Federal s I Council of Churches seven years ago (j been made practically effective? "What are the present-day tenden ' j cies in denominational groups with I reference to social service? "What social results do revivals of the 'Billy' Sunday type produce? | "Should the Church engage in great ' I "crusades" for social and economic ! [justice? "Have we a right to expect that tho : church be officially consulted with ref | ence to social service legislation which , is fundamentally moral or ethical in character, upon the assumption that the church is the authority upon ethi ! cal and moral questions? t "To what extent may the church be- I come sponsor for work which has to do with the economic and social wel fare of the people? 1 "To what extent may the church be come active in advocating social mea sures which require definite legislation by the State?" A New Body Proposed I While the report of the committee of five was not adopted at the second conference, but goes over to the one yet to be held, its proposals were thoroughly discussed. The most radi cal of these was the creation of an entire new national body, which, na turally, would either be a rival to, or supersede the Federal Council of ; Churches. The committee recom- j j mend: "The organization of a National ! Committee on Church and social prob lems. This committee was to consist: of approximately two hundred per sons selected from tho various geo-| i graphical sections of the country, and I was to establish an office, and main- j tain an executive force, its function j : being to provide 'a service of social 1 ! intelligence' for the inquiring public, I i organize a corps of social engineers | : and advocates, call and conduct an an- I ! nual national conference, establish a periodical organ of discussion devoted ; to reconstruction and progress among the American c>.urches which was to be independently financed, and become responsible for the organization of an experimental team for social educa tion and evangelism, to undertake a campaign in the cities of the United States." While no formal deliverances were adopted by the two conferences, there was a substantial agreement upon the, following points: "That the average ecclesiastical or-' ganization does not reflect the social co sciousness of the membership of ] the church either because of natural ' conservatism, the feeling that the; church has nothing to do with the sol- i ution of social problems, or because it j was feared that certain financial re-' I sources would be cut off. ! "That there is an increasing num- ; ; ber of men and women in the church ; j who are getting out of patience with | the church because of its apparent in- I ability or its unwillingness to attack , some important social and religious problems. j "That there is need for an indepen- j dent group composed of Christian men ; to take the lead in discussing press- i ing social and religious questions, and,, when necessary and feasible, to ini- j tiate movements which shall not only! i truly represent the progressive wing' ] within the church, but which will hold j {such persons within the ranks of the! | church, rather than have them be j come identified with outside move ments to the exclusion of tlie church. ! "That there are many sincere Chris tian men and women outside of the church to-day, not only among work ing people, but among employers of | labor and social workers who might be I won for the church, were the church : to offer them a broader basic of think- j ing and a larger program of work. I "That while the Federal Council of [ j Churches began its work in the social 1 1 field with a strong set of resolutions. I ; and with excellent purposes, the force: of its program was soon diminished I largely because the secretary of its So ! cial Service Commission became the jsecretary of the Federal Council Itself, thus practically discontinuing his ac- ■ jtivity in the social field, and because! 'the Federal Council now lacks suffl- j cient funds to carry out an aggressive ' social service program." All of the foregoing is news of se rious import, not only to the churches j but to every observer of the times. All 1 the men of these two conferences were churchmen: many are denominational 1 officials.

The buffet began in a loose and unorganized fashion, more or less helpless from lack of prece dent, and gradually developed until it now represents high efficiency back ed by a steady determination to see the thing out to the end. All the early organizations have' concentrated their efforts in a single j management which dispenses $750 i worth of tea. coffee, cocoa, sandwiches, bread and butter and cake weekly, all supplied by private donations. Branch buffets are" maintained at the stations of less military importance, at an additional expense, and the whole ma chinery runs like clock work. It is the same sort of transformation that I has gone on in every department of the British government, from the raising of recruits to the making of munitions. Victoria station is a great barnlike railway terminal in the center of the j metropolitan area. Its lines feed [ many inportant southern and south eastern ports, such as Portsmouth, J Southampton, Brighton, Folkstone and Dover. There the troop trains arrive at night with their loads of men on furlough from the trenches, and there the returning trains leave every morn ing to carry back those whose week of home and liberty has expired. Be tween times, there is a constant stream of soldiers arriving from or returning CROUP QUICKLY CONQUERED AND CATARRH GERMS DESTROYED Simple Home Treatment That Acts Almost Like Magic In any home where a child has a ; tendency to croup, a bottle of Hyoniei I (pronounce it Higli-o-me) should be f i kept constantly on hand. A sudden attack of croup with dif- I j ficult breathing and extreme distress; ! is apt to come on at any time. The course to be pursued Is plain.! Send for your doctor at once, and In < ! the meantime drop 30 drops of Hyomei into a bowl of boiling water, and hold j ; the child's head over it, covered with j la towel or cloth, so that only the air j ; filled with Hyomei vapor is breathed. This method of treatment has saved j many a child's life, and mothers of; rroupy children should see to it that I Hyomei is always on hand. Full in-! structions for prompt relief of croup I is in each package. "I have used Booth's Hyomei fori .croup with wonderful success. P "My baby boy had croup for three i j years and nothing would break an at-; j tack until I chanced upon Hyomei. Its \ use as soon as the attack came on | would quickly relieve him so that he i was sweetly sleeping in five minutes. I "I have recommended the remedy' | to many mothers who have found it as ; | Kreat a comfort in croup as I did. I| j consider that It cured my child, as he i | to the great training camps at Alder- | | shot and other points. ! An average of about 4,000 soldiers j ! daily are fed at Victoria station. Eighty women volunteer workers un der the direction of Mrs. Kenward Matthews stand six-hour shifts day j and night, for it is in the early morn-' ing period that hot refreshments are j most needed and most appreciated by j the soldiers. The most exciting time of the day | ;at Victoria is the hour of the troop 1 trains. Their arrival is preceded by] ; a number of telegrams. The first ] message approximates the time of ar- j rival on news of the sailing of the | channel boat. This is corrected when j the boat arrives in the English port. | again when the train starts on its | journey and finally when on the last l. lap to London on a clear track. Often ' there are hours of difference between j the first and last telegrams, and a! train due to arrive at 5 p. m. will 1 pull in nearer 10 o'clock. One of the first signs of the com-' ing of the troops is the gathering of the home guards. A detail of sixty of these inen, most of them quite old and all ineligible for the army, gather at the station at 4 in the afternoon. 1 The guards are distinguished from the soldiers by green uniforms and red armlets. They make themselves useful by answering questions, putting the soldiers on the right buses and in protecting them from outsiders who invest the platform. Official money changers who give the men the bene-' lit of the best rate of exchanges, open) up their booths. Friends, relativesi and idlers also begin to collect out-] side the gates to watch the troops pass! by. When the time for the arrival of the ; first section is accurately known, Mrs.' Matthews, or her quartermaster. Miss j Perry, have tables set up on the plat- i form. There are three of these tables, i each covered with a strip of oilcloth. 1 Dishpans filled with sandwiches and cake are placed 011 the tables and j great urns full of tea. Vases of flow- j ers also grace the tables. It is curious '| what a home touch a few flowers 1 give. They show, furthermore, that j there is a real welcome in the pans and urns. One who thinks of the British ! Tommy as he was before the war, might easily take the present type of campaigner for a Serbian or some other kihd of picturesque fighting j very soon ceased to bo troubled with croup. We are never without it in the house, and use It. to break up colds In the head, and for catarrhal trouble, with great satisfaction. lam glad to recommend it to all who are suffering with like ailments." Mrs. C. W. Fitts, 14 41 Clinton Street., Washington, D. C. BANISHES CATARRH ALSO For catarrh, head colds, sore throat, snuffles, etc., you simply put a few drops of Hyomei in the inhaler which • onies with every complete Hyomei Outfit and then breathe its air for a few minutes, four times a day. By breathing Hyomei in this way every particle of air that enters the air pas sages of the throat and head and goes into the lungs is charged with a heal ing balsam that kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh and soothes and al lays all inflamation. Its action is rapid and lasting. The first day's use of Hyoniei will show an improvement and in short time there should be no further trouble from ca tarrh. You take no risk in buying Hyomei. It is inexpensive and if after using you can say it has not helped you, your druggist will refund your money. H. C. Kennedy sells it under such a guarantee. , man.
