CHIRCH HWni.Ks BEGGARS
IN PRACTICAL MANNER
The evil of panhandling on the
1 streets of a lage city is being dealt
jwith effectively in some cities these
days. The social service committee
of the Presbytery in New York
Claims to aid all worthy men who
apply and the Presbyterians of New
, York are all warned not to give to
street beggars. Members of the
I church are given books of coupons,
and when a beggar nsT<s aid he is
given a coupon and directed to oar
, ry it to the office of the presbytery.
| Professional beggars are thus easily
defeated in their project of living off
of society. In Evanston, 111., the
same service is employed with the
exception that the social service
league is an interchurch affair in
which the denominations participate.
Once Evanston was a tramp-infested
town, but now the calls for aid are
only a fraction what they once were.
The method is commended by its ex
ponents as being both Christian and
scientific.
