Social service brings him directly into contact with the industrial world. He comes to know, through practical experience, the mode of life and the problems of what might be called the proletariat. The world in its perplexed state is sorely in need of men with understanding, with broad views, with experience and knowledge of labor problems. There is nothing so effective to promote this end as Social Service...
...Hall's statement that 'physical manifestations dependent upon mediums can all be produced fraudulently.' It is inconceivable that a realization of what the scientific attitude really is would permit of so completely passing over the reverse conclusions of such, psychologists as Dr. James Hyslop, whose recent book, "Contact with the Other World," is an interesting contribution to the respectable, scientific literature of the subject.

What a man learns in the section-meeting makes, in a great many cases, a far more lasting impression on his mind than the lectures. The gathering is more informal; the questions are direct. Instead of being...
