Our Foreign Element.

The greatest problem to solve in North
America is our relation and responsible
ity as Christians to the millions of i'm
migrants crowding to our shores. 1t pre-
sents not only manifold difficulties, but
great privileges and opportunities for
Christian service. From all lands under
the sun are coming in almost countless
numbers people of widely d vergent re-
ligious beliefs. customs and cond .tions
from our own. Assimilation of these aliens
with the beliefs and trad tons of our own
land is the problem of the hour. and 1t
as one that appears almost too over
whelming for solution.

only for the sake of the al ems themselves,
but that America and the children of the
Puritans shall not be lost in vortex of

churches that must be aroused to grapple

Other Lines of Work.

There are many other lines of endeavor
affecting missionary progress in North
America besides its relation to the prob
lem of immigration, but I have dwelt
especially upon this phase of the subject,
because therein lies the greatest menace
to our nation, the greatest danger to
our free and glorious institutions. In
which the highest hopes of the world
have been so long centered.

Binding, Burning and Blessing.

Christ, Himself planned that the con-
summation should come at the close OF this
dispensation of grace. The kingdom Will
be purified when the Son OF Man re-
turns to take His place as ruler at the
hour when 1.-The Kingdoms of this world
become the Kingdoms OF Our Lord and
HIS Christ. In that hour He Will attend
to the separation of "all things that cause
stumbling and them that do iniqulty.
AT the end OF this age-not Of the world
the angels that welcomed His advent
with song will once more reveal their
activity by binding up the tares in
bur dies TO burn them
There is no question but that future
punishment awaits the doors OF EVIL that
hinder The progress of the Kingdom.
Many earnest Christians have forgotten

MISUSE OF CHILDHOOD

New York Herald: Everybody Will
sympathize with the children OF the
Lawrence, Mass, strikers who were
sent to this city SO that they might
not suffer as a result of the bitter Ia
Dor struggle IN the Massachusetts
city.
But if the protectors of these inno-
cent sufferers in the labor war wish
to have the public continue to believe
that they are philanthropists they
will reconsider their idea of exhibit
ing them at mass meetings where So
cialistic and other doctrines are to be
expounded.
Children, even such unfortunate
ones as these, do not properly come
in the category of lawful examples"
to be exploited by political orators.
There is a law barring children from
the stage. The law of common sense
ought to protect these waits from
