Pe_
Mr. Steffens
ha s become well known, the country over,
for hi s fearless an<l forceful arraignment
of the civ ic corruption now abroad in our
land, hut he is no mere iconoclast; he has
<li~tinct remedies to · suggest for present
bail conditions. The amazing simplicity
o( his remedies will surpri se many of his
hearers, however. Their res~mblance to
certain of the commands in the Decalogue
is so striking! The music, that evening,
will be supplied by the Grieg Trio, :tvliss
Marguerite Pearson, violinist, Mrs. E.
Thompson-Hall, 'cellist an<l .M rs. M. G. de] Castillo, pianist. Their

January IO-PROF. CHARLES ZuEBLIN of the University of Chicago,

another thoughtful studtnt of civ_ condiic
tions who has, this winter, become a resident of Boston, will discuss '' The State
and Morality." Professor Zueblin is so
favorably known now by Boston audiences
that very little need here be said about him
except that he· presents with very remarkable wit and charm the results of profound
study along ethical and sociological lines.
That evening we are to have, for music,
the Mauldon String Trio, this time with
the harp, which, earlier in the season,
failed to arrive. The program :

January 17-KEIR HARDIE, M. P., leauer of the Socialists in the
House of Commons, will speak on "Reforms Accomplished by the British Labor
Party." This appearance in Boston of
1fr. Hardie was arranged only after a
good deal of negotiation and it is a source
of particular gratification to the committee, therefore, that upon our platform will
first be presented, by a great ltader of
men, the notable strides Englan<l has
lately taken towards the betterment of
social conditions.
The music will be
supplied by Mrs. Alexina Carter_Barrell,
soprano, and the Patten Trio. Their

THESE MEETINGS for th~ treatment, from the ethical standpoint
(and with prejudice to no one), of live questions, personal or social, are
held in the most beautiful hall in Boston, situated on State House Hill,
com·enient to the Park-street Subway. They are for you and your friends.
By coming to them yourself and passing on the .news of them you will
greatly help us to develop a new Boston institution, a place where, as in
the Cooper Union, New York, men and women will find mental ana
moral uplift on Sunday nights, and be able to enjoy in comfort good
music and stimulating discussion .
HOW SUPPORTED:

These meetings are made possible through

th e funds left to the Boston Baptist Social Union (in whose hall we
meet) by the late Daniel Sharp Ford, owner of The l'ozdhs' Companion.

speak e r. ; Iv[r. Fagan is another , union
man, as it happens; but he is not one of
those who believe the u11io11 cnn clo no
wrong . . On the contrary, he forces organizecl. · labor to share with orga11izcll
capital r_ sponsibility for bad railroad con.
e
clitions, and his address on "The Man,
Tl1e A ccident ancl The Railroad" . will
give us all _
food .for thought. Mr. Fagan
still works eight hours a clay i_ a switch

true that. it won this enthusinstic praise fr o m a w e ll-known railway president: "I consider it the most valuable contribution to rail way literature
that has ever come under my observation." The Bostonia Ladies' Quartet
