Rescue The Perishing

Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them from pity from sin and
the grave:
Weep DER the erring one,
Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save
Amen.
Though they are sighting him,
Still he is waiting,
Waiting the patient child to receive:
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently:
He will forgive if they only believe.
Down in the human heart,
Crushed by the temper,
Feelings lie buried that grace can re-
store;
Touched by a loving heart,
Weakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate
once more.
Rescue the perishing,
Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will
provide:
Back to the narrow way
Patiently win them;
Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has
died. Fanny J. Crosby.

HUMAN DERELICTS RECOVERED
Robert McKenty Told How Prisoners
Are Reformed In Philadelphia

Robert McKenty, the great admin
istratOr of human correction in the
homes for refractory men and women
in Philadelphia, gave an interesting
talk before "Everyman's Club" in the
Parish House, on Maple Avenue, on
Monday evening. About a hundred
were present. Bob" is no great ora
tor, but he is a man with a big heart
and a human touch which makes him
"the best king of good fellows as
we'll as of the bad.
A. J. Dunn presided at the meeting.
J.. NJ. Whitney led the musical entree,
and f. J. O'Conner made the intro
ductiOn.
Mr.. McKenty said the law use to
say that a prisoner should be con-
fined for so many years. Lock men
in cells and only feeding them made
many harder criminals and less fit to
be members of society when they
came out than when they went in.
Every person has a heart. The great
purpose is to learn what that con-
science point is and to touch it. Learn
what the prisoner is most interested
in, and help him; provide means for
the development of his mental and
physical talents so he will become a
fit member of society when his prison
term expires.
Many are given an opportunity to
get more education and learn trades.
When they prove trustworthy they
are let out on parole. They have to
report every month where they are
and what they are doing. If they fail
they are confined again.
Association and fellowship are per-
mitted under rules, and every encour-
agement given for the boys and men
to become godly men and women and
fit members for humane society.
The opportunity for religious edu-
cation and worship is given every one,
be he Jew, Catholic or Protestant.

prisoners a fully be comprehended
