WE regret not having received notice
of the evening service at the Baptist
church Sunday July oath. Mr.. A. W.
Milbury delivered very interesting adj
dress in which he sketched the work of
the Industrial Christian Alliance, of
which he is the efficient Secretary. The
plan of work is largely Mr.. Milbury's
own; and though the organization is
comparatively young its success has
been wonderful. 1t bids fair to become
one of the grandest institutions for the
rescue of the lost that is ever working in
the great metropolis. This organization
aims to provide food, clothing and labor
to men who are needy. 1t makes no
distinction or discrimination. All who
come are helped, and many already have
been rescued body and soul. A similar
work for women, and an institution for
the rescue of children is in prospect, and
we hope will soon be realized. Some of
the best christian men in New York
city, clergy and laity, with many good
women are deeply interested in this
mission, and its success in the future we
have reason to believe is assured. Mr.
Milbury is to be congratulated upon the
success of his work, and deserves the
sympathy and aid of all his friends. The
Industrial Christian Alliance is to be
congratulated upon having secured the
services of SO excellent man as its
Secretary.
