A WEAK SPOT IN NATION'S WALL Terse Comments On The Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic Of The Young Peoples Societies Christian Endeavor, Etc. For June 24: "Mission Work In Our Cities." Ps. 87:1-7 By WHJU&M T. Eliljg The city is one of the big moderni problems. It Is so vast, so intricate, eo unknowable a thing that usually only phases of it are considered at a time. Some speakers talk of the city when they only mean Dart, of It that Is given ovor to poverty and vice. Others have in mind only the princi pal "downtown" portions when they tr.lk of the city; meaning thereby the main thoroughfares, the hotels, the biff stores, the places of amusement tnsd the railway stations. Still others regard the city In a'i entirely ma terial sense—lts buildings. Its indus tries, its wealth. A city is all these and much more. And in any light it Is worth studying us the greatest, albeit perhaps the most perilous, rroduct of the nineteenth and twen tieth centuries. Of late years the churches have made a vigorous effort to grapple with what they call the city problem. Church extension ap;l city mission committees, of varying efficiency, are common In all denominations. Preaching places, which commonly develop Into full-fledged churches, follow the growth cf population. Rescue missions are maintained in the congested sections. The foreign popnlatlon is given special attention. Nevertheless, city mission work may etill be said to be In an experimental etage. Nobody thinks that the reme dies equal the needs. There Is a vital something still lacking; so that the life of the average city may fairly he said to be less religious than the life of the same number of persons In the country. The religious forces of North America are only now awakening to the Importance of one of their great est problems: namelv. how to merge Manufacturers' - Outlet -Sale!

Market Square 10 S. Court St. FRIDAY EVENING, the vast alien population into the Christian life of the new world. Frankly, only the most shallow and most perfunctory efforts had been put forth, until quite recently, toward the solution of, this question. Nor has there as yet appeared any ade quate, statesmanlike method of deal ing with the immigration problem. The new firing llna of Christian progress is in the city. There center the problems that are likely to give the twentieth century the greatest concern. The congested and con* glomerate character of certain large sections of most modern municipali ties has created an entire new set of social problems. Some of these are so grave as to alarm thoughtful citizens. Political economists are pointing out that the next generation will have to face difficulties far graver than any that confronted the plortcers who made two great na tions on this western continents ' Sol long as the slums are regarded as slums their problems will never be met; but when once they are seen as collections of people, with the same Instincts, impulses and deeds as other people, there Is hope for help ing them. God himself is not in terested in "the masses"; He knows all His sheep by name. The divine art of bothering one's fellow men; that is the only way to win "the bat tle ofi the slums." A Common colloquialism of more than ordinary expressiveness de scribes the defeated In llfo as "the down and out." These abound In the congested portions of the city. They sprawl on the benches of the public; parks, dose In ltscue missions, huddle around the radiators in cheap lodging houses, or stand at the door of the liquor saloon. Some of their stories are romantic and tragic be yond novelist's telling. X said, "Let us walk In the field." He said, "No, walk In town." 1 said, "There are flowers there." He said, "No flowers, but a crown." I said, "But'the skies aie black; There is nothing but noise and din": And he wept as he Sent me back; "There is more," he said, "there is sin." I said, "But the air is thick And fogs are veiling the sun." He answered, "Yet souls are sick And souls in the dark undone." I said, "I shall miss the light And friends will miss me, they say." He answered, "Chooso to-night If I am to miss you or they." I pleaded for time to be given. He said, "Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard In heaven To have followed the steps of your guide." —George Macdonald.
