Yet we all make the mistake that Jonah made In regard to it and call It a weed. "The weeds werewrapped about my heal." Ah, that Is the trouble on the land as ou the sea! We call those weeds that are flowers, ntehed tip ou the beach of society are chil dren without homo, without opportunity for anytblug but sin, soutuluiy without UoJ. They are washed nphnlplcss. They nreoallc ragainufltns. They are spoken of us the rakm?s of the world. They are waifs. They are st reet tirabs. They are flotsam nnd Jet sam of the social sea. They are something to be left alone, or something U be tro l on, or something to give un to decay. Nothing hut weeds. They are up the rvkety stalrsof thnt garret. They are down In the cellar of mat tenement house. They nw"lter In sum mers when they see not one blade of green grass, an I shiver In winters that allow tbeui not me warm cont or shawl or shoe. Much the city nillon:try found In one o our city rookeries, and when the poor woman was asked if s:ie snt her children to school she replied : "No, sir, I neyer ill 1 send 'em to school.

It Is the truth. 1 would rather have all mv children douJ than out he street, but I ci.n't'heli) It." Another one of those poor women founi by a reionuitory nssiciation rcited her story of want aud woe and looked up and said, "I fult so hard to bete the children When they died, but now I'm glad they're gone. Ask any one of a thousand sueri children on the s'.rsets'Where do you live'.'" and they will answer, "I iion't live no where." They will sleep to-night In oi bar rels, or under outdoor stairs, or ou tne wharf, kicked anil bruised and hungry. vn cares tor themV Once In a while a city mis. slonnry, ft a tract distributor, or a learner of ragged school will rescue oue or mow, but for most people they are only wmds. Yet Jonah did not more completely mis. repreeeut tho red iilga about his head in tun Me literraneiin than most people nilsjud these poor and forloru nu 1 dyiug children of tk.e street.
