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.

Schaukler incidentally said: I had a

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?"

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

His Father's Watchworn,
The Eev. John McNeill, the popular
evangelist, says; "1 - :
'"I owe more than I can tell to my father.
He had a habit of which he never
spoke to us, nor we to him. He was a
quarryman, and I often beard him .go
downstairs on dark morning;. 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

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

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."

Calling Their own.
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.

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
