The Rev. George Bringhurst, who
has spent some months, with success
beyond his hopes, in efforts for reclaim
ing the fearfully fallen of Philadelphia,
has informed our correspondent in that
city of some of the most alarming facts
which we have yet heard OF. in connec-
ton with the inveigling Of Young fe-
males into q life of vice and ruin. 1t
appears that, in more than one instance
the Sunday School has been made to
subserve this fell purpose. The mana
gers of schools, not often we trust, but
sometimes, lack canton in the selection
of teachers. In some case, as in GER
tain of the Mission schools. there is pc
culiar liability to imposition but who
would have thought of such an atrocity
as procuring the charge OF Sunday
school class to use it for the stock
ing of a house of infamy? But such it
appears has, in more than one instance
been the fact, and through this strategy
more than one poor victim has found
her way to the haunts of profigacy.
Worse even than this, in one case a
scholar, young, pretty and as scholar
bright, was discovered in this nefarious
agency, and it was found to be the pur
pose for which she entered the school.
When and where are our children safe =?
The remark Of the first Napoleon, that
the want of France was mothers, passed
into proverb. But deeper and more
solemn is the truth that the want of
the cause of purity is wise, educating,
praying and holy mothers. Evangelist.
On Monday, September Goth, the
ground was broken for the new chapel
to be occupied by the Seventh avenue
M. E. congregation in Brooklyn. The
house will be fifty seven by ninety-sev-
en- feet, brown stone front, and will
have lecture room, four class rooms
and parlor and dressing room in base
ment. The whole second story will be
devoted to Sunday school purposes.
This room will be one OF the largest for
school purposes in New York or Brook
lyn. The basement will probably be
finished by Christmas. The building
will cost not less than $40, 600, and will
be finished next summer. The congre-
cations have been and are good in point
of membership and interest. The pre-
sent minister is Rev. Charles M. Griffin
recently of the Cincinnati Conference.
A German American says that if
Henry Ward Beecher could speak the
German language, and be prevailed
upon to preach for a year in one of the
capitals of Germany he would succeed
in stemming the tide of infdelity in the
old country. There is no pupil orator
on the continent that can be compared
with him, but his published writings
are unworthy of the man.
