buildings centers for social betferment.
In his methods Pasteur Wagner is not
aggressive, but pacific. and for this rea-
son has been able to win the approval
and friendship Of the prejudieed Cath
Ole, the preiudiced free-thinker. In ad-

time to individual help; visits the rich
in their homes if his services are en-
treated there, but most of all loves to
be of cheer to the lowly, The papers
have mentioned how even the unfriended
dead come In for share Of his sympathy,
and how he not infrequently follows the

though fighting for bread is a natural
law, fighting for the superfuous is
another thing. He pleads for simple
thoughts, simple words, simple needs,
simple pleasures, simple beauty. And,
with strong hopefulness, he assures US
simplicity is not a vanished good.
In his book, BY the Fireside," he
makes entreaty for the home as center
Of happiness, and argues convincingly
that however so humble there is 10 place
like home. But he argues also from the
life, one who knows and feels for the
| poor, and bids the complacent and indif-
ferent think when he asks: How is
true home possible where one room must
be put to all kinds OF service, and there
is no place for rest or solitude or rela1a-
