THE SOCIAL PROBLEMS ASSOCATION
OF TORONTO.
DEAR SIR,
As a result of the recent Conference on Social Problems held in
this city, an organization has been formed to be known as "'The Social
Problems Association of Toronto."
In order to make the Association a strong one, and its work a
success, it is absolutely necessary that we should have the hearty
co-operation and active assistance of every body of men and women who
have for their aim the improvement of humanity. We desire, by all
right and proper means, to help every one to rise to a higher social and
moral condition. The organization which you represent is, we know,
working for this end; and we, therefore, earnestly request you to kindly
bring this matter before its members, or the membership of your church,
and urge them to appoint a delegate to assist the Executive Committee
in their efforts to benefit society.
We have no doubt if you, in common with others, select an active,
enthusiastic man or woman, that the combined efforts of all such
workers, representing societies with a common aim, must result eventu-
ally in the accomplishment of our desire for the uplifting of mankind.
We need a large membership to aid us in our work, and we trust you
will cheerfully assist us in securing it by presenting the claims of the
Social Problems Association as strongly as possible to your members.
WVe desire to wvork with you, and it is only by means of your active
assistanlce we can hope for the largest possible results.
If you so desire, we will gladly send a deputation to inform you
more fully than can be done in the accompanying circular, our aim and
objects, and outline generally our mode of work.
Please send the name of your delegate, and also the names, with
the membership fees, of all those desiring to become members, not later
than Januar,'tSt/, 1 894, as we want to have a full meeting of the General
Committee at the earliest possible date so that we can commence
active work.
