A SERMON FOR SUNDAY * A STRONG DISCOURSE ENTITLED, "WHAT CHURCH OWES CHILDREN." The Iter. Hor/ar?l Mcllslt Talks WIiolc(oincly on the Promise of Zechariah to His Discouraged Countrymen ? Plan's Thirst For liighteousness. Brooklyn*, X. Y.?' What the Church - Owes the Children" was the subject of a 6trong sermon preached by the Kev. H%yard Melish. rector of the Church of tne Holy Trinity. A number of requests for w - * * - ? -i i :i its publication have been received auu it js A herewith given. The text was from Zechariah viiiro: "The streets of the city shall he full of boys arid girls playing in the streets thereof." Mr. Melish said: * Zechariah gave this promise as a word of encouragement to his discouraged countrymen when on their return from their exile they were trying in tt\e face of enemies and great obstacles to rebuild Jerusalem. The time will surely come, he bade them believe, when the city shall stand once ? more on Mount Zion ,'n all its former . strength and splendor, blessed with that greatest of all life's benedictions?children at play. "n he streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets ? thereof." One of the wonderful stories which our last census told was the phenomenal growth of the American city. Briefly, the story is this: While the population of the country in the nineteenth century was multiplying itself fifteen times the population of the cities and towns was multi plying itself 150 times. Whereas the population of the farming community has been multiplied by two in fifty years, that of cities has been multiplied by ten; in 1800 one man in every twenty-five lived in a city. To-day it is one man in every three. The tremendous concentration of men. women and children in our cities is one of the most significant and startling facts of our times. The city is built! The prophet's promise has been fulfilled?the streets are full of boys and girls. But what a fulfillment! They are playing in our streets Jbecause we have built our cities in such a way that there is no ether place for them to play. In our tenement districts especially the houses stand so closely together that there is scarcely space for light and air to enter rooms, not to mention courts, back yards, play grounds and small parks. Within a short walk of where we are to day are hundreds of families living in one or two small rooms to a family, rooms often gloomy at mid-day. Of course, the children are in the streets. And what places the streets arc :!or these little ones! Look over the pages of our papers day by day with the children in mind and you read the sad story of this little child crushed by a car, of that one I maimed for life by some wagon. Go into the Children's Court and see boys of twelve and fourteen arrested for crimes which would send men to the penitentiary for a long period of years. Between the crowded tenements and these injuries, deaths and crimes, there is the relation of cause and effect. The tenements drive the boys into the streets, and there they are forbidden by the police and prevented by traffic to plav gamer, which kept me and my boy friends from going to the devil. No! 1 don't mean that insinuation, '^he rood God won't let the devil have those boys. They may become impertinent criminals, and die like the hardened thiei" ? cn the cross, but conditions shaped them, end God trill give them, in mv heart, of hearts. I believe, a new chance to become like Him in tha; new city, Jerusalem, which is not built by men's hands. And yet true it is that in our cities boys who are denied tne healthy amusements of boy life drift into the crap games and form street gangs which cerrity neighborhoods and brutalize coys and turn the spirit of mischief into the demon of crime. Jacob Riis has told us that between the tenement and the penitentiary he has found a beaten path, traveled by the feet of hundreds of our boys every year. It is about this somewhat new and very serious situation of tire children of our streets that I want you to think with me this morning. i It is often said, as an argument against the church assuming this responsibility, j that the church's one mission is "to preach the gospel, and I want to say at the start that the purpose of the church has never been more correctly defined. The gospel is the message of the good tidings tnat God cares for men, that God is love. Once let a man accept that message and let it 6ink into his soul that it becomes the princiDle of his life, and even though he lives in a badly veil i'ated house in a crowned district, surrounded by evil influences, yet he will be a good citizen, son, father, husband and friend. Yes, and once let a iandlord receive the gospel in his heart and he will transform his tenement into decent abiding places if it c..,s him half his income. For the gospel of the Son of God is the regenerating power in the world which makes all things new. To preach it clearly, with consecration and power, is the supreme. all important, never-to-be-forgotten mission of the church of Christ. But how :s the gospel to be preached in our crowded cities to-day? Jt is as important to know the way rs the destination when one is trying to reach a definite point in the world. Some men ianey that the city needs nothing more than a country village?a preacher and a building?to have the gospel preached with power. There was a famous test case of that k preaching on the East Side in Manhattan. . A man of ability determined to preach the gospel every Sunday and cio nething else, believing that people would come as they did before the city became what it is today. After severed years lie gave up the work as a proved failure. He was a John the Baptist crying in the city wilderness, but unlike Jonn's experience the people did not come out to listen to the voice. And I believe it is because they were waiting for the Christ. Xot the voice in the * ' - "J i. wilderness, bat tne man to go acorn, uvui^ good, healing, strengthening, encouraging, . inspiring." Mentions, services and prayer meetings are preaching the gospel and do good. Many-ox us could not live without them. But they do not monopolize preaching the gospel. Did Jesus do nothing but preach arid teach? The church needs to learn anew the message of-the incarnation, the truth that life is imparted only through a life. We are Christ's body. May we Erove it brgomg, as He went, into the ighways and back alleys, doing good, bringing hope to the discouraged, lifting up the fallen, taking little children into our arms, and so assuring them as Christ assured the world that love reigns enthroned above this world of pain, sorrow and hardship. When the church is a manifestation ot Christ among men. as Jesus was of Cod. not merely by speaking and singing and communion, but by living, working, helping in the world the gospei of Christ will be truiy preached. Let me specify. One man may stand in a pulpit by telling of God's love, give hone to some poor mother who is almost in despair over her boy. Another man, animated by God's love, may furnish a club room where young men may spend their evenings apart from the dangers of the saloon. and by so doing give hope to the mother whose boy goes there. Both preach the gospel of hope, one in words and the other in deeds. A preacher gives a strong sermon against the saloon and has hearers say he is preaching the gospel. A man starts a cooking class where women learn to make food so wholesome that their husbands and sons do not longer have the desire for drink. Are not both preaching the gospel of the more abundant life? You sec what this means. The church is preaching the good tidings of lore through everv agency which gives hope to men, and makes thei: feel 4heir brotherhood among men and the Fatherhood in God. You know the way the churches have shirked responsibility for this kind of preaching, the kind that is effective in our crowded districts. It is one of the saddest chapters in the history of Christianity. Churches among our tenements, with few splendid exceptions, have sold out and i moved up town, with their wealthier mem- [ bers leaving their poorer members as sheep ! without a shepherd in the "city wilderness." One will hunt far before finding a more un-Christian spectacle than the exodus of the Christian churches from the tenement districts where the harvest is ready. The reason usually given is the removal of the rich to the suburbs and the failure of the poor to* contribute liberally. So the poor are blamed for the church's infidelity. The church ought to be on the firing line where the need is greatest. Instead it is too. often found in the rear, earing for the wounded, no d< bt. ar.d occasionally urging back the frightened or forward the stragglers. The ^ crowded districts where the streets^ are fall o' bo. ; and girls arc the church's responsibility.' To betake itself to the suburbs and leave these children I in the streets, sa'ocns and tenements is to offend (rod's little ones. And *he Master said about such a one that it i: betfe that a millstone were hanged about his neck ana ne was cirownea in ma ceprn 01 me sea. The second thing I want to think about this morning with you is the church's opportunity to help the children of ohr streets. v?. > This opportunity is only limited by the number of men and women who are willing to take a real interest in the enn.dren, and by the space you have to uje. i^Gfcve these children a ehatoce to get oii the streets and away from the bad influences into a wholesome environment of real warm-blooded people and good books and amusements and fun giving recreations and the*' will come to the church in a stampedes. "Their hunger for enqoblinjr, friendships is one .of the most pathetic things X have found in py/miuistry, and also one of the most inspiring. Oh! the splendid opportunity for you all to fulfill your responsibility for these boys and girls of our streets ii here. Ill the boys' clubs is the chance for you young men to preach the gospel to our lads, not by sneaking sermons, but by manifesting to them through your manly sympathy and interest, your courage and your' truthfulness, your honor and your uprightness the Christ you love and follow. Christ may be preached to these boys with the boxing gloves, and the fencing foils, the carpenter's tools and the football teams with more power than bv sermons from a pulpit. In the sewing school is the chance for you young women to preach Christ, not by words of religion, but by your beautiful friendship for the little girls who come in eager to receive that which their homes are unable to give them. In the Sundayschool is the chance for you young men and young women, and older ones, too, to gather pnee a. wc.ek a little gronp about you ami lead tnem turonga tne wonaenui story ox Sim *7ho came to earth to be our servant end yet was Kir.g Eternal, and then through "the alchemy of the influence of your life move'thc-m to love honesty, j nurity. goodness, man. Christ and Cod. hfor will I admit the older peoole-'s chanceto preach the living Christ. There comes before -me the picture of a scene in -a men's club in a certain parish house wher.e a pfcbfessor of political .economy met in a perfectly natural way a -crakeman on- the j. Pennsylvania-road, and both men came to f see that great labor problem more clearly, and had more of the Christ tolerance than ever before. And I know of;women who have found through the Girls' Friendly So- ' dfcty the chance to preach the living Christ so effectively that ciris .have risen, up and called them ''blessed amorlg women'/' ' _ The few hours given to such work-in a single year seem very powerless beside the powers of darkness which walk our streets.. both day and*night, week in and week out,- * in vacations as in working or school days. But. thank God, a man's life is not an equilibrium of forces, a resultant of houses and environments. In every soul is the thirst for righteousness which can be j aroused by bringing it face to face with a j righteous Jife. 'There is. a contagion in J goodnesses- there is in badness. Arouse j Chose dormant faculties in every soul, and i tlicy. with Christ's help, will counteract } all the influences of* honse ands street, t This is the opportunity of the church to- , day in our crowded cities. By meeting it i the church will find, what every individual I who ha% so met opnortunity finds, that it ! gets by giving and has a firmer hold than I v on the realities of truth and life. . ^ _j Uaii sue ft. service wnatpyou win?xnqugn ] I' personally hate the trite phrase institu tional, for I am pleading for a work alto*;! gcther personal, the touch of life on life? j fcit you. must believe that the church ' which assumes this responsibility and ! meets this opportunity is following the en- | ample of the Master. When Christ came i to earth to lift.men up to God He took the j form of a common man. He might, we ' say, have gathered the Jewish nation into some great plain and revealed His mission in the sight of all with such glory that all must bow the knee before Him. He might have come with angels straight from heaven aaid jBwept men irresistibly into His j train. What He did resembled neither of these, but poi* ts the way for us to follow, j He was among men as a servant. By His life of service, now with sermons, now with deeds, but always with a life spreading a contagion of love, courage, hope, manliness, sincerity, He, the servant, so profoundly touched the hearts of men that men have risen un and crowned Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The Power of a Godly Life. In a recent artic'^. the Rev. Di..j Schaukler incidentally said: I had a teacher in our school who usedr to be a sailor?a godlv man. He kneiv ' little oft:_i . -i J K? iilfctUIA', (|U(i UUVIUU^ Wi Ok.VUI.w, um *?? knew Jesus. He so taught hii class' that ] everyone found the Savior, and made public confession. By and by Ae'^came to , me and said: - 'Take my claf s away. I am uneducated. I can't lead them any; higher; but I have led them tcf T?lni?t. 3 Give me,' he said, 'a new class-that does \ not kuow Christ, and. i Tvill try to lead tliem to the Shepherd,' I gave'him a new: class, and before he" -died ' everyone had found tbe^ Savior. fWhat was the po-' tency an that uneducated man? Was it ; not his humble trust in Him who can sanctify whatever word is spok,en?" Cur Kesponsibilily. "Others sin against us and with us and j in spite of us, but none can sin fori us. Whenever that is donfe^vi.iia^e torido it. ourselves." It were Wfell^fbr "-the weak ones of earth, yea, and some wboxount' themselves strong, to ponder on this tenth. Men are..prone to blame 'others for,their misdeeds. This one tempted or the other led astray. And so the conscience is soothed, the still, small voice quieted.* The consequence is that the experience, in all probability, is repeated in kind when a little wholesome remorse for sin, a putting cf the real blame wUere it belongs, would save much. No one can sin for us. Whenever that is done we have to do it ourselves. ? Philadelphia Young People. His Father's Watchworn, The Eev.

Standing on the threshold before passing out he would say aloud, 'I go to-day in' God's name.' 1 can never forget the impression this made upon mc, and thankfully say to-day, 'My father's Gcd is ; ne.'" RAILROADS' EXPENSES. Thousands of Dollars Spent by One Company For Salt Water For Locomotives. The v/ender of many people is frequeHtly aroused upon noting the enormous receipts of railroad companies because of, the comparatively small dividends the stockholders receive. The fact is that few realize the cost of maintaining these great corporations? the variety of the demands upon their resources. Figures show, says the Chicago Chronicle, that the annual expenditures of railroad companies for purposes concerning which the public takes little thought are enormous. One of the items of large expense is the softening of water used in locomotives, experience having demonstrated that it is cheaper to install water softeners than supply these locomotives with raw water. On the middle division of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa l'e Bailway system the sum of $27^375 is expended annually for this purpose, the softener being used at twenty-nine water stations' where the water has beeu found unsuitable for boiler purposes. The locomotives passing these stations use, 011 an average, about 999,000 galions of water daily. The wjuefc from 'nearly all of these sdterqe3ve^ntains inernsting constituents?fbat is, t|ie sulphates and' carbonates of^ime and magnesium, arc present in troublesome amounts. ? -< The incrusting solids contained in 999,000.gallons of' water used $ach day in the year -amount to over 3200 pounds, Or in tie course of a year nearly 590 tons. Tliis amount o? incrusting material deposited in the "boiler would, in the first place, damage the boiler plates and cause an enormous increase in'the consumption of coal. The removal of this scale would cost probably from six to ten cents per mile of distance run. * At these twenty-nine water stations water softeners have been erected at great initial expense. The: maintenance of these softeners requires the expenditure of about $17 a day for chemicals and an additional charge of about $5S a day for services of attendants. making a total of $75 a day, or $27,375 a year. The costvo^construction o*f these water softeners; was not made public, but if the cosf of main- 1 tenance represents four pert cent, on the investment, the total amount expended for water softeners is nearly $700,000. The same experience holds true of other railroads. - At tea winter stations i along' fhe' Union Taclfic 27S0 'pounds pf solids are removed from the water ! of twenty-nine stations- alohg the Santa Fe .system, although, at the ten Union Pacific stations they use about J fifty /per cent} more water than at the Santa F<e stations. ^ I ^ The chemical survey, of natural waters which is befog made by tbe~hydroeconomic experts of the geological survey is directed in part toward the location of available waters which may be used for Jboiler purposes without treatment. If discovered and tlieijferlo cation made known the saving of a tremendous amount of money will be j effected. In the- case of rgilr-oatls^tbe cost of such" great losses'V*s < above mentioned is due largely- toklac-k ot information. concerning the sources of water suitable for boilers they will become the greatest beneficiaries^ of this phase of the work of the Goyern: ment. 3* j Leather Hallway TJ.es,.. "Railway ties have been mhfle from steel, iron, -glass, stone, and of grass and sawdust composition." saysAthe American Inventor. "The newest invention for that purpose is a cross-tie of leather. The scrap leather from shoe shops is taken into a disintegrator, ground very. fine, subjected to a refining process and molded. The tension of the molding machine can be so regulated that tics hard enough to take a spike or ties through which a spike, cannot be driven can be turned. The three great essentials in a grosstie are apparently found in this leather slceoer. for it is guaranteed to hold a spike, the fish-plate will not splinter in it, and it will not rot. It is expected to stand service for thirty-five years. Sample ties put down twenty-eight months a so in the West Springfield freight yard of the Beaton and Albany Road, do not show the least wear. Rqadmaster Sullivan,. of the Boston and Albany, says the spikes hold as well as when first driven, instead of working loose, as in the wooden ties." ??Pusdr'n Income.

She wandered away several times, but was recovered on offering rewards. At last, about two years ago, she vanished finally from the scene. The authorities, presuming she is dead, have paid the capital to the institution, on receipt of a formal engagement to provide for the cat should she ever reappear.? London Modern Society.

The Irishman who "kept the pig in the parlor" was no fonder. or tne "gintleman thot paid the rint" than the Nigerian Fulani people a^e of their cattle. The author of "Affairs of West Africa" says that the negro neighbors declare that the Fulani talk to their beasts., and understand them. While a French force w'as operating In the western Soudan some cattle were commandeered from the natives and were penned up. One of them was a fine black bull taken from some Fulani herdsman. In the middle of the night there was a terrible commotion in the pen, and the officer in charge Commanded a native soldier to tell him what was wrong. ' ... "The cattle are mad," said the na tive, "for the Fulani are-calling them." From a neighboring hill came the sound of a plaintiwe chant. At the same moment a violent disturbance took place amcng the cattle. The officer hurried to- ard the pen, followed hv ttiA cnJriJors The rhant meanwhile continued in a cadence of inexpressible .melancholy. The commotion in the pen increased, and before the Frenchmen could reach it one of the beasts was seen to. clear the enclosure at a bound and cras"!i through the bush in . the direction .whence the sound .came, .bellowing loudly- as he galloped away. . : .. .. It was the black bull... He had broken the halter which-bound him, and leaped a palisade five feet high. With the disappearance of the bull the chant ceased, and- the next morning the Fulani herdsmen were nowhere to be found. f ? ^ V t * 4 ? -4 J . Easter at the Russian Church in New York. Strange and weiri was the impression, when, after the first-part of the services a procession, led by the Bishop and formed of priests and deacons, followed by the Consul-General in full uniform, descended from the altar* and passed out of the church by a side door exit, only lighted by a few torches.' Almost breathlessly impressive was the suspense'as the congregation waited, hushed and reverent, evidently looking for something further. Soon 4 a solemn dirge-like chant was heard, and. lights began to gleam afar. Nearer and nearer came the music, bursting into loud and exultant strains, and through the central doors came the procession again, no longer quiet and subdued, but joyous with their Resurrection message. The. great crystal chandelier became a mass of- light,; and men and women standing near the .procession each lighted .-the candle.they held" .from those carried by the priests, and .passed tie. light to their next, neighbor. On- smd on in this way the lights gleamed, until the whole body of- worshippers became aflame, softened and illuadned by the -candle -light, -and their spirits housed to-fervid-* enthus* iasm as . they answered, "He is risen indeed."?From Social Service. . . > .. r . -f m / Qur Debt to Italy. % Economically considered, Italy is contributing greatly to the"prosperity of America.
