“With profound conviction that

Humanitarian Church Work.
The church everywhere seems arous
ing to the necessity of moving on the
work,, of the eaerny fro,,, the etl,u«i !
and sociological sale. One of the latest j
organizations cl,ri ’" i for this purpose M-o|„!„n is the j
““
society, which held its first annual con
ventiou lately in Baltimore. The gen
eral purpose of the union is to pn ami 1

that the moral and ethical teachings of
Christ are to be the absolute authority

It is certain that the Christian
churches have taken a new and rousing
departure within the past half dozen
years. They seemed suddenly to realize
that if the church was to help redeem
the world and bring the kingdom of the j
New Jerusalem to earth they must take !

of the best sociological scholars of the
time must be brought to bear on the
p ro blein of making mankind clean, com
fortable, healthy and honest. To do this
they have concluded that something else
is necessary than preaching a theological
sermon on Sunday. Tliv Salvation Army
perhaps is to be credited with setting
the present wave in motion. The Balti
