HOME MISSION WORK AMONG
IMMIGRANTS.
Psalms, 6T:1.T.
By William T. Ellis.

The immigration emergency has
brought the great agencies of home
missions of the leading American de-
nominations into oneness of action
They have formed cooperating coun-
ell, and have campaigned the states to-
gether. in an effort to arouse the
churches to action upon this great is
sue. Thus Indirectly, the immigrant
has been the means of fusing into a
measure of oneness the forces that are
to be exerted for his service.
The religious forces of North America
are only now awakening to the i'm
portance of one of their greatest prob
lens; namely. how to merge the vast
alien population upon the Christian life
of the new world. Frankly. the most
shallow and perfunctory efforts had
been set forth until recently, toward the
solution of this question Nor has there
vet appeared any adequate statesman
like method of dealing with the i'm
migration flood
Patriotism joins with religion in con
straining the churches to action with
respect to their immigrants. The very
genius of the nation is imperiled by TINS

suited in the development in the exile
of a spiritual people. who were no
longer dependent upon external aids to
assist them in the worship of Jehovah.
The studies of the lessons chosen the
last month from the prophecy of Dan
iel have emphas sized the value of 10y
atty to Jehovah. The vitality of Dan
lei and the three great personalities
who joined him in his battle for re-
ligious freedom in the palace schools
proved sufficient throughout the sew
enty years exile or captivity to secure
for the Jewish captives distinct favor
so that they were not cut off as IA peo-
pie forever. The prophetic work of
Ezekiel and Daniel resulted in the de-
velopment of a people more thoroughly
Hebrew than they had ever been be-
fore. The captivity left its marks upon
Judah, but during the coming quarter S
study it will be seen that the net result
of the experiences of the captivity was
to purify and solidify Judaism. In
this the words of Isaiah were fulfilled
THE remnant that is escaped out of
the house of Judah shall take root
downward and bear fruit upward
From out of Jerusalem shall go forth
a remnant, and out Of Mount Zion they
that escape the zeal of Jehovah of
hosts shall perform this" The chas-
