ON New York's East Side.

At Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church Miss Ruth Angel of New York
told Of the work Of the Hebrew Christian
mission on the East Side. carried on by
her father, a Congregational minister,
Thursday evening. She spoke Of the
trend among the Jews away from Juda-
ism. Only a small proportion identify
themselves with the synagogue. she said,
fact which probably explains in part
the difficulty the census bureau had in
getting full reports of synagogue MEM
bership. To meet this trend away from
their own religion. Mr.. Angel has inau-
gurated not merely preaching services
and the usual methods of evangelistic
work, but a reading room. where the
best of literature can be had.
Miss Angel gave a number of incidents
setting forth very graphically the expert
ences, grave and joyous. connected with
their work: told how her mother and her
self went among the families OF the East
Side and won the friendship and the trust
Of the women and children. and how
messages had come to them from all over
the land telling Of one and another who
had been helped to q truer lie by the
influences Of the mission.
Following Miss Angel there was q
characteristic talk by Mr.. Thompson OF
Providence, an old friend Of Rev. Mr..
Goodwin. He portrayed the work Of his
mission to those who are down and out.
