‘ Practical Christianity is great
er than tlie mere theory.
• It is better to help others to
help themselves than to extend
them mere charity.
"Our work knows no denomi
nations. We help the members of
every faith.
"Opportunities are always open
to tiie well equipped women in ttie
business world.
"inexperienced girls from the
country think Atlanta has a good
position waiting for them each to
step into."—Mrs. R. D. Crusoe.
Four years ago the Central Presby
terian Church Adult Woman's Bible
Class came face to face with the prob
lem of finding employment for oge or
Its number. A girl just in from the
country had to have work, and have
it right away. There were several
women in the class who held respon
sible positions in the business world of
Atlanta, and by combining their ef
forts they obtained a place for the
girl within a day. %
To-day the same class, somewhat
larger, is finding work for men arid
women and boys and girls every week,
and no one, no matter of what fai\i
or or.*ed phe may be, Is turned away
without being helped to find work.
"Practical Christianity, not merely
the theory of it, is our aim." said Mrs.
R. I). Crusoe, leader of the class, in
discussing the work to-day.
Their Work "Just Grew.”
‘ We feel that we can do more real
good by teaching others to help them
selves than in any other way. Like
Topsy, our work “just grew." When
tlie first cape was forced upon us we
immediately realized there was a
great field in front of us, and by the
united effort of the whole class we
have managed to fill most of the de
mands made upon us.
“We are fortunate in having 85
business women. They are all of them
in responsible places, and naturally
keep in touch with the openings in
their different establishments. Each
Sunday just before the class work
begins I ask the girls what positions
they know of. Each members Speaks
up. and there is never a Sunday
passes that there is not an oppor
tunity opened up for pome girl. The
girls also tell of the people they know
that want and need places.
Work Found for Men.
"At first our work was confined al
most entirely to women, but now we
are helping all. We have found work
for men. Boys and girls who wanted
positions have been aided. We have
followed up each case, and where we
found chances for advancement we
have taken persons from one situa
tion to another.
"Right to-day we have five applica
tions that we wish to fill. One ip a
woman with two children, who just
has to have work, and 1 hope we will
be able to find something for her to
day.
"The great difficulty is to find wom
en that are properly equipped to take
the places that we have to offer.
Equipped women are in constant de
mand. So many girls come in here
from the country with no idea of the
dangers and difficulties ahead -»f
them. They think that in Atlanta
they will have no difficulty in finding
work. They do not know whether
they will be salesgirls, filing clerks or
stenographers. When they come, the
place?* are open, but they can not fill
them.
Scholarships Are Given.
"This problem has sflso been at
tacked by the class. Each year one
business scholarship is * given some
woman, and the money for two others
is loaned to deserving women. Out of
tlie employment work other branehe
have grown. The city relief work, for
instance, which aids many peoi'
every year, and is often useful and
absolutely necessaryyin caring for th
women seeking work.
"Five members of the class. Miss
Dallas Dumas, Miss Irene O’Donnell,
Mips Lula Fowler, Miss Tfrart and Miss
Fuller, all of them successful business
women, compose the active committee
of the employment bureau feature, but
every member of the class unites in
helping and encouraging, the work."
The present officers of the class are:
Mrs. W. U. Cotton, president: Mrs.
M. M. Grlnnell and M*ps Cora Bruce,
vice presidents; Miss Henrietta
Welsh, recording secretary; Miss Hel
en Greenlea, corresponding secretary ;
Miss Labincia Davidson, treasurer,
and Miss Claude Morgan.

Young Aviator Is Killed.
LONDON. April 15.—“Jack" Hall.
young, well-known aviator, was shot
lo death in his apartments in Pic
cadilly lo-riav. A woman who was 11:
the flat at the time j^jts arrested.
WASHINGTON, April 15.—Chief
Justice White of the U. S. Supreme
Court gave seats to three women on
a^street car. It was this -way:
The Chief Justice and Justice Van-
devanter sat talking when several
women got on the car. There were
no seats for them. The Chief Justice,
first to notice the fact, arose politely
and tendered his seat. Justice Van-
devanter did the same. Two of the
women sat down. There was still
some room left and a third woman
sat down.
She smiled. The other passengers
smiled. So did the Chief Justice, as
his huge form swayed back and forth.
Thomas B. Akin, once of Syracuse,
N. Y., sat in tlie grandstand at Ponce
DeLeon Park and nearly burst hi'
collar button when one of the Crack
ers slammed out a three-bagger. In
his excitement Mr. Akin smashed the
spring derby worn by the gentleman
In the seat ahead. When that irate
individual turned round to start some
thing there was a double-barreled
surprise. 1
“Why, Tommie Akin, you old horse
thief! Where’d you come from?”
“Darned if it isn't Walt Burns of
Joplin! Haven't seen you since old
Harvard days. What are you doing
here?”
“In business here. Bpoii here three
years."
"The dickens you say! Been in At
lanta four years myself. Where d’ye
keep yourself?”
“Hard at work!”
“Same here!"
In Same Building.
Then the two friends talked ovqr
campus days, climbed on board tlie
same trolley and came back to town,
agreeing to dine together that night.
They got off at the same corner.
“Got to go up to my office a minute
and look over the late mail," said
Akin.
"Me, too,” said Burns. “I'm in this
building, too."
“Out at the fourteenth floor," they
called to the elevator man simul
taneously. Then Burns unlocked ’.he
door of No. 1 426, on which the sign
of the Baileywlck Bottled Bunk Com
pany was blazoned. Mr. Akin drew
out the key of No. 1 444. just across
the hall, where the Empire Egg Erad-
icator Corporation held forth. Then
'hey iooked at each other.
"Do you mean to tell me you—"
they both bpgan at once.
“Yes, fight across the hall—” thev
both answered in chorus.
All of which is a fake as to names
and numbers, but true a dozen times
a year as to essentials. j£he office
buildings of Atlanta are about as so
ciable as two rival book agents on the
trail of the same customer. They
carry an unwritten label, “For Busi
ness Only."
Hidden Behind Corporation Names.
Seventy per cent of the business
men in Atlanta are bidden under the
names of the corporations they serve
Tlie dotys of the offices are always
closed, and none but customers know
that John Smith is "the works" In the
branch office of the Great Northern
Napkin and Notion Company.
"Things, like that happen every
day." said the manager of one of the
bnildings. "A couple of friends meet
In an elevator and find they’ve been
next door neighbors for a year with
out either knowing it.
"Why. the man who had got away
with a million from a bank couldn't
hide In a safer place than a private
office under a corporation name. No
body would ever know he was there
unless he put his own name on the
door."

‘‘Your riches—
‘‘Your gold and your silver—
‘‘You have laid up your treasure—
‘‘Behold the hire of the laborers, which is
of you kept back by fraud crieth out; and the
cries, of them that reaped have entered into
the ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth.
‘‘You have lived delicately and taken your
pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a
day of slaughter.
‘‘You have condemned, you have killed the
righteous one; he doth not resist you.”
You, in your greed, can crucify the Lord
afresh.
James makes it clear.
Have you? Will you? ‘‘He doth not re
sist.”
In Atlanta is a factory.
Women work in it ten hours a day. A fire
would be a holocaust. There is no fire escape.
Here one woman worked four days on
twelve dozen shirts.
She received seventy-eight cents.
Another sewed seven dozen garments; on
account of wide stitching, she had to rip and
resew them.
For the lot she was paid fifty cents.
OUR NEW ALMSHOUSE IS BEAUTI
FUL; fine brick fireplaces are in its rooms.
An old woman built her fire on the floor in
the center of the room.
She did not know what to do with her lux
urious hearth.
If she had ever known, our civilization
had blotted out the knowledge.
In one of our alleys is a hovel.
A workingwoman calls it “home.”
Her daughter, seeking death, went from it
to the railway tracks.
She, too, is to be a mother.
Men and women say, ‘‘She’s crazy. She
cries. She tries to die.”
The physician says, ‘‘Not so. She’s not in
sane. She .just doesn’t care whether she lives
or dies.”
Not insane? Don’t care? 0 men, consider
that!
0, CHRIST, Thou who died for her and us,
didst Thou hear? How long, Lord, wilt Thou
endure?
In the ‘‘Song of the Shirt” one sang:
‘‘But why do I talk of death,
‘‘That phantom of grisjy bone?
‘‘I hardly fear his terrible shape,
“It .seems so like my own—
“It seems so like my own,
“Because of the fasts I keep.”
0, G-od! that bread should be so dear,
AND FLESH and blood so cheap.
“Work—Work — Work!
My labor never flags.
And what are its wages? A bed of straw,
A crust of bread and rags;
A shattered roof and this naked floor,
A table, a broken chair,
And a wall so blank, my shadow I thank
For sometimes falling there!”
“For man there was not found a help-meet
for him.
“And the Lord God made He a woman
and brought her unto the.man.”
God forgive you? What have you done with
your “help meet?”
One tries to keep her a slave for sale in a
brothel.
This one enslaves her in a factory.
Others hold her overtime at less than a liv
ing wage at switchboards and in telegraph
offices.
Another works her thus in shop and store.
GOD FASHIONED her shoulders soft and
round that a baby’s head might nestle
thereon.
These, ere they feel the tiny weight, you
would bruise with your brutal heel?
YOU WOULD USE her flesh as a rung in your lad
<Jer to climb—?
Whither? To money—money!
She shall not be crushed into the pit.
In Christ's name she shall stand.
In His name, you will help her.
A living wage you will pay her.

RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT.
