A Call from the Forum.

Judging from the columns of the city
papers, there seems to be an army of unemployed
in the cities. No doubt when the natural activi-
ties of spring business at hand many now idle
will be able to find employment; but the chances
that there will be workers than there
is work. Now, in most of the farming sections
the exact reverse is true. They have the work to
do and to be done and a scarcity of workers to
do it, Is it not strange that the organized chari-
ties of the cities, finding an idle population a
burden, do not toward relief by turning
of the town surplus toward the country
deficit?
1t is fact that in every city there must be
among the unfortunate and unemployed many
men of country breeding who should be steered
back to their birthright of the soi if we could
have some dependable means of bringing the ider
and the work into contact.
We have abundant proof that the Christian
Church formed centuries before the Roman
Church was thought of. Stillingfeet states that
some of the apostles preached the Gospel in
Britain. Iren9us also maintains that the apostles
planted Christian Churches in Britain. The early
fathers confirm this and an additional proof
that Britain not wholly conquered where
Christianity was. Tertullian, who fourished about
70 years after st. John, when enumerating the
nations in which the religion and rule of Christ
was received at that time, says, There places
in Britain which the Romans have not been able
to penetrate, and which subject to Christ"
while Gildas, the earliest Christian writer, says
that whereas parts of this island were shivering
with the icy cold of ignorance, other parts the
cheering beams of the Sun of Righteousness shone
out brightly A. D. 61.

looking from one to the other with a dazed ex-
preston on his face which threatened to throw
Emroy and his wife, to whom the matter had been
explained, into convulsions. Finally he rose and
going to Margaret shook her warmly by the hand
