A DARK FIELD.

There Is perhaps no sphere of love
 and labor which so nightly appeals to
 the human heart as the wide. dark
 fields of the fallen.
 There all characters and conditions
 of sin and sorrow are to be found. The
 young and the old walk together the paths of shame. Their feet tread swift ly the way that leads to death. Despair is their companion, sorrow
 their only prospect and eternity's dark
 picture, in tens of thousands of in-
 stances. alone prevents self-procured
 passage to the grave. Misfortune and crime link hands-unprotected youth unexpected poverty, and indeed almost
 all the ills common to social life whip
 faster downward on the road of shame the weary procession of sin-bound
 slaves, and if there is a place where light is darkness. where stars of peace
 and sun of hope shine not, surely it is here.
 T am told there are fully 20,000,000 professed Christians in this country. and 1t seems to me if all would only rise up and do their duty, this black spot could soon be wiped out.
 But alas, the sin of Cain has fol- | lowed the majority, and they are still l shirking their duty and asking whether l they are responsible for their neigh bors, rolling the burden upon someone else. Yet thank God, a great many ! Christian women have seen the need
 and have answered the call.
 "Fully 1000 young women have left 1 comfortable, Christian homes, many of | them giving up their most cherished
 ambitions and worldly prospects. and l with hearts fired with desire to savo 1 the fallen, they take up rescue work.
 Fully 10000 girls pass through our l houses yearly, and after careful inves-
 tigation it is estimated that over so per cent are permanently saved Most | of the women become Christians be- | fore they have been with us three l months. You will be interested to know how we reach them, and you will no doubt ask whether we go to them, or do they come to us? Both are | true. They come to us through the | pastors of various churches and Sun day school workers. and sometimes through the pleadings of broken | hearted fathers and mothers. They | come because we go down to them , the saloons, the red light districts. | speak to them on the street corne-s. | Our own beautiful, devoted women ! stretch out their hands of love in so l many avenues that 1t would be im- | possible to tell of them all.
 ''The juvenile courts have sent IS quite a number of girls. The officials are far more ready to help than to cast down; the newspapers also have aided us much by writing up the work of the various homes. It has also been our privilege to cooperate with tho l society of prevention of cruelty to children"

IAt anthropists in this city, the audi ence composed of Brmingham's s most representative women, heard talk yesterday by Brigadier Bovill of New York city, the general secretary of the rescue work of the Salvation Army Brgadier Boyill arrived In this city on Saturday She is the guest of Captain Evans. the matron of the Rescue Home in this city, and has addressed large au- diences since her arrival.

 The talk of Brgadier Boyill reviewed the beginning of the work in London, which, she said had it's birth in an Eng fish prison as the result of the efforts of General Booth and William T. Stead.
