No sermon was preached last night at
the Tabernacle, but in place of one,
Pastor Scudder, Joseph A.. Dear and A..
r. Aylieff made some remarks concern
ing the Newman Mission and its work.
Mr.. Scudder's remarks were entirely of
an Introductory character, leading up to
what Mr.. Dear and Aylieff desired to
say. He briefly said the Newman Mis-
sion was a very deserving institution,
and advised all present to turn beggars
from their doors and send them to the
Mission. The pastor then introduced
Joseph A. Dear as President of the
Mission, who among other things. said
MY dear friends. the Newman Mis-
sion has received SO much Kindness
from the people of the Tabernacle that
+ feel emboldened to make one more
urgent appeal, which otherwise l might
hesitate to make. While l take it that
none of you are entirely ignorant of
the workings of the Newman Mission,
yet / feel quite sure that you do not
know all about it, Mr.. Dear further
said that a more important division Of a
community cannot be made than that of
thrift and prosperity, and that of those
who are ignorant, never had parental care
or are of the class of those cursed with
a hereditary thirst. The multitude Of
beggars would rather beg than work,
and it was this kind of unfortunates that
were designated the dangerous class.
Mr.. Dear said society recognizes this
fact, and organizes police to keep 1t In
order, and goes even further by organ
izing militia and building armories for
the express purpose of keeping these
people down.
REFORMATION NOT REPRESSION.
..That is repression, and not the refor-
nation the Newman Mission endeavors
to make" said Mr.. Dear, who next told
how the Mission took all in who APP
t pSlou or three days, beside helping them
get work and teaching them of Christ. !.

The speaker said the Mission realized
from $40 to $3.50 a month from the wood
that the inmates sawed and split, and
the sum so raised went a long way to-
ward supporting the Mission. The
