To save The city is to save the STAT


AS the New Jerusalem, the home of
light, purity, life and peace, is repre-
sented as a city, so contrariwise, the
city of today is commonly recognized
as Satan's stronghold. All the agen-
cies of evil=frOm the daring criminal
whose hands are stained with blood
down through the gradatiOns of vice
to the merely idle corrupt-have their
headquarters in the city. It is there
that we find the hOt-beds of intemper-
ance, impurity and corruption. All the
powers that prey upon poor. weak hu-
mainly are centralized in the city.
There at its worst is to be seen the de-
hatchery of man. The extravaganza,
idleness and lavish display of the rich
find in the city their sharpest contrast
with the poverty, suffering and abject
want of the poor. In a word. all the
problems of tweutieth-ce life are
focused in the city. 1t is the strategic
point of our civilization.
The country for training. the city
for service.
The modern city spells opportunity.
While harder to move than most men
know, yet it can be moved, and a good
man of strong character and noble i'm
pulses may make his life count for
more at one of the great urban centers
than anywhere else. He who impresses
himself upon a city serves his time ire
mighty mass that makes up the city
itself but he also moves all the sur
rounding country He chooses a hard
mission field, but a high and holy one,
who gives his life to the unreserved ser
vice of God in a big city.
A city is the best place for making
money; but it is also the place pre-
eminent for making men.
City missions are often looked upon
as merely rescue stations in the slums.
That is a difficult and noble part of
city mission work, and we cannot too
highly honor the men and women who
give their lives to it. But the enter
prise is vastly greater. Within the
scope of modern city missions, as the
! awakened church now understands the
subject, come religious ministry for all
foreign-speaki people, the sustaining
of gospel services in the downtown sec
lions with their altered populations,
/ the planting of churches at strategic
points as the city expands, and minis
try to the wayfarer. to the sick, to the
destitute and to all outside the reach
of regular church services The task
/ IS big one. It calls for Christian
craftsmanship 1t demands assiduous
devotion to practical effort. It needs
+ the conservation of business ability and
common sense. But the reward is
great in the knowledge that the king
/ dom of the Redeemer is being extend
ed among the masses of men over
whom his loving heart still yearns.
The hope of the twentieth century
/ city is the men and women who apply
/ to its problems the principles Of Jesus
/ Christ.
I A college settlement may be as truly
city mission as the rescue station IN
+ the heart of the slums. The same is
/ true of the children's playground, the
i kindergarten. the boys gymnasium and
+ the fresh-air excursion. No other form
i of Christian work offers greater oppor-
tunity for diversified effort than city
missions.
Whoever is living a consistent Chris
4 tan life in a great city is city mis-
/ sionary.
