Reasons for the Mission.

Reasons Tor the MISSION.
The committee in charge of the work has pro
mulgated the following reasons therefor:
l. large class of well-to-do and refined peo-
pie, who have ceased to be, or never have been,
church h-goers.
2 Formal communicates.
3. The irreligion of the young men of our
we'll l-to-do families
T. The evils in the life of men and women in
fashionable society.
5. The feeble recognition on the part of mas
ters and mistresses of the need of church at
tendance by their servants, resulting largely
from want of care for the spiritual welfare of
the servants.
g. The evils of class churches
Z. The evils which come from the instability
of church connection
g. The lack Of opportunity for private prayer
consequent upon the condition of tenement
and boarding houses and the fact that few
churches are constantly open.
g. The want of definite, positive instruction
in religious duties, and in what practical Chris
tian living consists
10. The lack of personal spiritual ministry to
the rich.
Ii. The drain upon the minds, souls and bod
les Of two classes: (1) Of those who give them
selves up to the demands of society life (2) of
those laden down with too much work-unfitting g
both classes for healthful Christian life.
Among the causes of this drain specify, (a)
late hours, (b) stores open late Saturday nights,
(c) no Saturday half holidays.
II. The religious deprivation suffered by the
large and rapidly increasing portion of the popu-
lation called to labor at night in connection
with the homeless and vicious classes abroad
under cover of darkness
l3 The wrongs inflicted by employers upon
their employees
IA The lust of wealth issuing in the mani
fold evils Of unscrupuous competition; over
work, under pay. scamped work and mutual en-
nifty and discomfort between employer and en-
ploye.
10 The immortality and irreligion caused by
the unrighteous denial to a large and increasing
class of one days rest in seven.
16 The prevalence of the sins of intemper-
ance and impurity.
II. The special religious difficulties caused by
the constant flow of immigrants.
18 The hindrance to the growth OF the
Christian life caused by our luxuriousness and
selfshness
19. The ostentatious display by church-goers
of all class
20. The want of public spirit in its bearing
upon both church and state.
