 "Tliis Association has been formed for the purpose of uniting in Educational and Practical efforts all those 
 who earnestly desire the improvement of the social and moral condition of humanity." 
 
 Toronto, April 14th, 1894. 
 Dear Sir, 
 
 The above extract from a circular explaining our objects is our excuse for asking your assistance in 
 some special work we have in view at present. We want to reach more people than we are doing, and we 
 realize that through the pulpit we can do this more effectually than in any other way. If we could arrange 
 for a series of sermons to continue throughout the summer in the various City churches, on (juestions which 
 are of vital importance to pulpit and pew alike, a great deal of good could not fail to result. In this respect 
 you can assist us, and we sincerely hope you will be able to do so. The plan outlined by a committee 
 consisting of Rev. Dr. (lalbraith of Berkeley St. Methodist Church, Rev. Charles H. Shortt of St. Cyprian's 
 Aiiglican Church and the Secretary of the Association, is to take up the subjects following, and to endeavor 
 to have at least one sermon preached each Sunday evening in some church, dealing with the subjects assigned 
 to that month : , VV .;. - ' ' - ' •? ' 
 
 Until the Second Sunday in May — "How Best to Treat the Saloon Evil." 
 
 To Second Sunday in June — " Child I^bor." 
 
 ; • " " July — " Public Parks and Playgrounds." 
 
 " ' " August —"Prison Reform." 
 
 These are the same as proposed by the American Union for Practical Progress, and it is anticipated 
 that they will be spoken on from pulpits all over the continent. We wish to have Toronto take her proper 
 place in this grand movement for the betterment of the conditions which are responsible for so much 
 misery among thousands — yes, millions — of our fellows. The clergy throughout the United States, irrespective 
 of denomination, are responding in large numbers to the appeal now being made, and we have not the slightest 
 doubt that their example will be largely followed in our cities. , - . , . 
 
 One or more sermons each Sunday evening on these subjects will only be possible through a pretty 
 general response Some ten or twelve ministers have promised already, and we wish to arrange for the requisite 
 number to fill up the list. We want to have ministers of all denominations, if possible, included in our 
 arrangement, and to have the subjects brought before the people in all parts of the City. Will you preach 
 one or more .sermons in your own church on any of the subjects named? If so, kindly fill in the enclosed 
 postal, indicating how many sermons you can deliver, and which subjects and dates you would prefer, and 
 mail it at once to the Secretary. We wish to complete the list for publication as quickly as possible, so 
 you can see that time is an object. If you cannot assist us, or do not think our proposal a good one, we 
 hope you will give your reasons on postal. This is not for publication, but we wish to find out just what 
 the feeling is among clergymen on this question. 
 
 Yours very truly, 
 
 GEO. A. HOWELL, Secretary,
