NEW YORK. Dec. 30 — Carry-
ing forward the tradition whereby
an assistant picks up the threa ds of
life of useful service. Miss Ruth
Taylor, for years editorial aide to
the late Dr. Charles Stelzle, the
workingman's pastor, founder of the
Labor Temple, and nationally
known writer on inspirational and
social subjects, is continuing the
work launched by her mentor.
A vigorous personality. Miss
Tavlor herself has achieved unusual
recognition for her writings in the
cause of Dcmocracv throughout the
United States. Her three weekly
editorials to the labor press, the
rural press, the rural weekly press
and the Negro press appear in over
1.1(10 publications. These editorials
together with her radio and lecture
work give her an audience as large
as that of any publicist in America
today.
Miss Taylor's broad knowledge
of social, economic and political
trends comes partially from exten.
sive travel throughout Europe and
the United States. She writes what
she thinks and presents courageous-
ly the facts, feeling and human in- >
i tercst tn a situation. Modest and
quietly tactful, she knows when and
how to use straight from the shoul-
der language.
Tn association with Dr. Stelzle.
Miss Taylor has served many reli-
gious and social welfare organiza-
tions. Her career started with the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America, but she person-
ally considers her most useful ser-
vice to have occurred during the
time sh<^ spent with the American
Rod Cross. Here she hclnod exnlain
the work of the Red Cross to work-
ing men and women, to broaden
among the great mass of people
symapthy and understanding for an
organization devoted to human wcl.
fare.
