THE IMMIGRANT
IS THE SUBJECT ABLE
ADDRESS OF B|RKETT
ON THE OCCASION OF THE OBJ.
sERvANcE OF HOME MISSION
WEEK ON WEDNESDAY.
AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN U. S. A.
Only the Gospel of an Evangelistic
Christianity Can Solve the Problem
That Is Annually Presented by Ar
rival of European Horde.

THE Immigrant" was the subject
OF IN able and logical discourse by
DR.. F. E. Birkett, the pastor, at the
First Presbyterian church Gu. S. Al
on Wednesday night, the occasion be-
ing the observance of Home Mission
Week. The attendance was good and
the interest in these meetings is
steadily growing.
Discussingt he subject Mr.. Birkett
said that at Ellis Island and other
ports of entry the responsibility of
the government for the immigrants
ended and that when 100000 every
year entered this country it became
the duty of the Christian people to
look after them. He showed from
whence came this annual stream, how
large numbers every year fiocked to
our hospitable shores from italy,
from Russia, from Austria-Hungary,
and from other European countries.
To impress upon his hearers the mag
nitude Of this stream he said that the
immigrants coming to this country
every year would make 129 cities the
size of Columbia and their total num-
Der exceed the population of the
prosperous state of Connecticut.
To and including the year 1906 the
immigrants to this country number
ed more than 25,000,0O0 and during
the first six years of the century more
than 100000 had arrived ,or more
than the whole population of the Do
minion of Canada.
Discussing reasons which impelled
this steady stream Mr.. Birkett said
that they came to escape political OPP
preston and the intolerable social
conditions, the same motives that i'm
peeled the first colonists to come to
the bleak and barren shores of New
England. They came to better their
financial condition. This country is
the land of promise, wages are high
and laborers are in constant demand.
But the main question that con-
cerned us, was where do the immi-
grants go after they arrive? Three
fourths of them settle in six states
where the population is already fear
fully congested. With this immense
number focking to a comparatively
few cities assimilation is in the ma
ture of things an impossibility.
Mr.. Birkett then spoke of the great
problem which this horde of irmi-
grants presented. 1t can be solved
alone, he said, by the evangelistic
churches. The duties of the church
are plain. It must not neglect this
fertile field. Every argument calls
for increased efforts to reach the i'm
migrant with the gospel of an even
gelistic Christianity.
