quiet shades Of Bonhill Fields-ail
fill the imagination with wonder.
Then, as the tourist traverses the
West End and sees the almost end
less rows Of palaces with all their
marks Of wealth and luxury, the
mind is simply dazed.
But alongside Of this is another
London, Of which mankind has not
heard 80 much-a vast wilderness of
men and women and children-a
terrible whirlpool Of sin. We often
hear Of hegreatness and numbers Of
LOndon's cathedrals; but suppOsing
they were all as good as they pro-

filled three times each sabbath with
with entirely fresh congregations,
still there would not be room for
more than third OF EOr.on's Bopn-
lation to attend worship or the SAB
bath. What must therefore he the
moral condition of the uncounted
thousands who never enter a place
OF worship or any place where the
name Of God is recognized? Can
such n condition OF society be found

people, or shall We call those places

hundreds Of thousands are crowded
together, whele privacy Is as impOs-
sible as in the cabin Of an emigrant
ship, where not only men but like
wise women and children are mud

drink?
And what are the employments OF
this people? A book has lately been
published called s.1'iIe Toilers Of |
London" There one can see what I
are the etnplOyments. at which men Z
and women and children toll not |
merely from early morn till late at /
night, but far into the night, and
tine starvation wages which they 1
receive. Strange that women
should choose to work in such
places rather than in domestic ser
vice. Yet this is a NTell-b navn fact.
No one without seeing II eau Re-
lieve the horrors Of the sweating
system. Yet the horrors Of life in
some of the East End streets
are perhaps ssill worse. There are
iecoys of the most elaborate kind
where the young and unsuspecting
who come from the green lanes and
are entangled, deceived and
