| Doubtless there is nothing which
more closely touches the material COM
| fort of the people than their housing.
Europe, especially Great Britain, has
| done much in the way of providing
sanitary and comfortable dwellings for
| the poorest classes. This work has
| hardly begun as yet in America, but it
| is believed that we are on the verge of
a grand movement in this direction of
our largest cities.
Mr.. D. o. Mills of New York city is
| just about to begin the erection of the
two finest model lodging houses for
men in the world Within the next
| year he will have spent over $1,000,000,
and this only as beginning of the en-
terprise Mr.. Milbury's pictures in
| clude the plans of Mr.. Mills splendid
| project.

| it is expected that a great number of
people will avail themselves of this op-
portunity to become acquainted with
practical aggressive, modern Christian
work-the work of preaching a practi-
cal gospel to the poor.
