little use to ask a man working twelve
hours a day for seven days in the week
to quit the saloon at night and come to
church For most Of them there is little
pleasure left excepting the false joy Of
stimulants. The church must set itself
actively to work to secure for him more
reasonable hours for work. and then IT
can approach him with some hope Of
success. In a survey made in a town
where the steel industry prevails it was
found that 20 per cent Of the employees,
or about $4,000 men. were working twelve
hours a day and seven days in a week.
Fully TO per cent OF these workers were
classed as unskilled, and were paid at the
rate of 1914 cents an hour. Therefore,
by working for twelve hours, such men
were earning less than s. day regularly,

make it a more practical help to the
community. This is accomplished gen.
orally by a union of efforts. Instead of
trying to maintain several poorly sup
ported churches it is better to have one
in which all denominations can partici-
pate. The increase of friendliness
brought about by the breaking down of
the barrier Of sectarian prejudice has al
ready been experienced in hundreds of
rural towns. Sometimes two or more de-
nominations use the same church by
turns. Perhaps the Methodist preacher
will occupy the pulpit upon one Sunday
and a Baptist the next While there are
a few rigid sectarians who would not at
lend the service of any but their own de-
nomination, the majority attend both
services and the result is broader in
