Of Hyde Park Church, Chicago, has fallen

REV. ]. A. 3. WILSON'S DISCOURSE.
Rousing Sermon on the Tenement House
Problem of New York City.


Problem of New York city.
The New York Press of to-day prints
an extract from sermon preached by
Rev John A. B. Wilson, also an excel
lent likeness of the well known preacher.
It says:
Rev. John A. B. Wilson, pastor of
the Eighteenth Street Methodist Episco
pal Church, delivered rouslng sermon
last evening on the tenement house
problem of this city. He said in part:
''The sentiment first expressed by Cain,
Am l my brothers keeperY is the motto
along the lines of which men fight in this
world to-day. There is no use in denial
or in an attempt to gloss over this
fact. IL is too woefully true, and

Dr.. B. F. De Costa, who spoke here last

his sermon to the congregation OF ST..
John the Evangelist. "rhe individual is
what his home makes him. D." said DR. De
Costa The bad housing of the laborng
man is unjust After helping build the
palaces of the rich the laborers are
entitled to decent dwellings themselves,
where they may enjoy the amenities OF
civilization. Here in New York such
enjoyment is impossible. The contrast
between the palaces of the millionaire
and the wretched novels of the mel
whose labor built the palaces is daily
breeding more and more of discomfort
