There is no good reason why the aver

be a member of the Christian Endeavor

So many will be glad to hear that Mr..
Titus is still interested IN the success OF
our column, that / cannot refrain from
quoting a few sentences from a personal
letter received from him, even though it
was not written "for publication. He
says:
Though caught in the mad whiri of this big
city, have not lost track of Maine friends, for
THE AMERIc N comes to me each week with its
budget of news from Hancock county and it's
Mutual Benefit column. l read the column
each week, and reading 1t l think of Aunt
Madge and her little coterie of faithful helpers.
Ii pleases me that the interest in the column
continues.
"My business has taken me into some odd
corners of this busy town. l visited one of
them to-day, and picked W this little pamphlet
that mig ut interest you. 1t is published monthly
at the Five Points House of Industry, the work
u ing done iy boys VINO have been rescued from
the slums of the city.
"The famous old Five Points"-the heart of
the slums-has changed most wonderfully since
Dickens pictured its misery and its filth so
wildly in his american Notes.. Ramshackie
tenements have given pl ce to breathing spot
where the only bit of grass that many of the
children of this section have ever seen. is care
fully guarded within the forbidden lines OF the
walks.
"Just now the grass Is green with the fresh
ness of early spring. On pleasant afternoon
tine walks and benches are swarming with
humaDity-much of 1t very young humanity
indeed. Little mothers, scarce more than babies
themselves, are tending haty brothers or sisters,
and the worry lines of responsible are already
on their faces. They siagger along with these
babies In their arms. for baby carriages are an
unknown luxury in this poverty stricken section
OF the city, the nearest approach to them being
occasional soap boxes on wheels of wood.
"Amid so much misery one feels his helpless,
ness. and yet IL is not TO BE- wondered at. that
because of familiarity with 1t New York passes
IL 10y with unseeing eyes. There are many good
workers, 1t IL true who are laboring In this ii H.
but as a whole, comfortable New York shuts its
Eyes to this life of the other half and goes on It's
way eomplaisantly
Indeed for ones peace of mind, something
of this subordination of humanitarian instincts
is absolutely necessary"
The pamphlet is an interesting little
magazine of which the numbe received
is No. II, Vol. XLVI, showing that this
as been recording for many years the his.
tory of the work OF progress in this noted
portion of the city. l notice one of the
selections of poetry is that of Nixon
Waterman which we all liked so mpch--
what Have we Done To- day?"
Ishsll be glad to give some selections
from the pamphlet in the future. These
pictures Mr.. Titus has given of how the
other half lives" may help us to realize
our mercies when we look down at the
s'green things growing" and up into the
blue heavens above us. AUNT MADGE.

Dear M. B. Friends:

In looking over some clippings sent me
by different h.lpfui contributors, chose
the above, because, when last week the
ground was white with the late spring
snow, and the white fl kes were whirling
through the air, "A little sparrow twit
tered near my door," Again and again he
repeated his little song, AID nev.r heard
1t rendered with more OF cheer and happi
ness In the melody. The singer really
seemed to be enjoying the situation; but
suppose he could not have sung IN a minor
key II he had tried; 1t isn't his nature.

Another thought made me think of
"Eunice". Allud ng to the passing away

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
If food, but because the food
Ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 10 find
it and set the matter right.
