IMMIGRATION.
V1II-LANDlNG AT ELLIS ISLAND.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

steal defects which might affect their abil-
ity to earn living. Another 1900 were
sent back because they had loathsome or
dangerous contagious diseases, while
l 1913 were denied admission because they
were contract laborerS.
Ellis Island receives about two-thirds
of all the immigrants that come to Amer
lea. 1t is really a plant built on three
islands, with causwayS connecting them.
Often more than 1900 immigrants must
be detained overnight, and. of course.
there is much congestion at such times
To shelter and feed 1000 people over
night is a large task. Some days as
many as 5000 immigrants arrive, and to
dispose of them means only two minutes
to each immigrant. Consequently the i'll
spectOrs must work rapidly and send
every doubtful case to detention for fur
Their investigation. The next day may
bring only few hundred or it may be
a foggy day and none will come. Then
the detained ones can be given more at
tention.
The "old" immigration is usually easy
to inspect. Few of them come who are
not eligible, for our immigration laws are
understood in northwestern Europe much
better than In southern and eastern Eu-
rope. Five thousand 'old" immigrants
can be put through easily in a. day, while
with the new immigration such a task
would represent very hard work and
very long hours.
A contract restaurant Is maintained at
each important lHlIIllSTdHC StdllOn, WneTe
food can be had during detention and
where it Is put up in boxes for those
going on railroad journeys. These boxes
cost from 80 cents to dollar.
Special immigrant trains are made up
to handle those who travel in large COM
panies. At other
Special Trains times they are
for Large Groups. cars' ' while Soften often
they must travel, men and women, IN
the smokers of regular trains. The inn
migrant gets a slightly cheaper rate
than first class, but he usually gets pro-
portionately poor service for his money.
Ellis Island with the tragedies of de-
tention and deportation that must be en-
acted constantly if the laws are to be
executed, is great theater, where every
quality of human nature is at play. Here
one beho{ds a happy reuniOn-wife has
come to join husband after waiting for
a year, until he could get money to send
for her. There is another wife to join
her husband. but she has trachoma and
cannot be admitted. Here is painted
woman trying to lie herself through the
gate. There is a boy who gets tangled
up in the forty questions put to him. but
finally gets through. Here are hundreds
pass muster, and they are gathered In
a great room, some hoping and praying,
some weeping and fearing, some cursing
their fate. But even then we admitted
$4,000 during the past fiscal year and
deported only 5000.

ALTA MTG CITY, n. j., December 10.
Moses Hanson has sued in the district

But Miss Kelley, who had taken pos
session of the property, refused to give
1t up, he alleges. She asserted he had
deceived her by not dying as scheduled
and therefore he received care under
false pretenSeS.

full Significance of that seemingly
simple act cannot be measured. These
were the men upon whom hung the
future fate Of Christianity.
! Today we present the formal com.
mission of the American Board of
Commissioners to our brother and
sister who are soon TO journey on

who have already preceded them in
teaching the principles of the Chris
tian religion TO the rising generation
in that new republic. ~.
Christ has called them to he apps
ties, and today they answer that call
as they accept from the church their
commission.
AS they go, they will bear the same
saying to the young men and young
women OF China, as they shah teach
them and lead them into service:
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand
for while they may not themselves

cleanse the lepers, we shall expect
them to cast out devils, for we be.

hearts the gospel which shall set free

bering the words of our Master: AS

There is one question which every
honest disciple must ask and keep on
asking until he is sure he has found
the answer: Lord, what will Thou
lave me to do?" The probability is
that to most of us that answer will
be Serve me more unselfishly, where
you are; help out in the good work
