We have been handed the following: It is
appalling to go upon the streets OF Beiiaire
ut night or upon the Sabbath day, and see
numbers OF homeless young men, By this
we do not mean yaga5oRds or Hsendicaats,
but young men who labor during six days OF
the week in our glass houses and nail mill.
They, have boarding places; but they are
merely places to eat and Sleep anl In the
highest sense Of the word they are homeless,
Going upon the street to get the society they
crave, they meet temptation at every step,
and It would be surprising II they did not
yield. Doors stand invitingly open; bright
lights dazzle the eye, cheerful music greets
the ear, and gay voices complete the charm;
but, alas to enter Is to take one step down.
Ara the ChiStian people Of this town
blameless in this matter? Why Is
not comfortable, cheerful room provided
for these men2 A place where they can meet
and chat or have Innocent amusements;
where healtllful literature would be provided
for them. They would be willing 10 share
the expense OF such room were It fitted up,
Why is there no organization OF christian
workers from the different churches to look
after theseyoungmcn? Theyare the bone and
sinew Of our community. live allow them
TO BECOME diseased and weakened we must
bear the penalty. Who will lead in this
good work? We fear the religion that reaches
no farther than the four walls Of our own
particular house OF worship will not be strong
enough to carry us higher than the roof.
