5. Unify the charity forces of the city. Let the churches do their miscellaneous charity work through the regular organized charity forces of the city.

6. We would urge the cities to organize their churches into federations to meet at regular intervals for the discussion of social problems and plans.

7. Encourage wider use of church buildings.

8. We would urge the exchange of delegates by ministerial bodies with the labor unions, and the observance of Labor Sunday in all the churches.

9. We should be glad to see all of our cities have a woman’s boarding home, where, under safe conditions, the working girl who comes to town may be supported and directed at small cost while she learns her new trade.

10. We would recommend a down-town social center for men, with Christian influences.

11. Help in the fight against preventable disease, and for the art of living intelligently.

12. Let the country churches make wider use of their buildings, providing circulating libraries. Let them help provide better highways, better schools, better comforts and conveniences for the home, better culture forces in general and better living conditions on the whole.

The remaining twenty-three recommendations are practically elaborations of the ones given above, and all touch upon the same phases of work that are outlined above.
