This Home Missionary en-
terprise is INSTRUMENTATION
and more than half a century
old, but the need for this par
ticular work was never more
urgent than at present. The
emergency of other years has
eliminated in a social disaster
this year, and the verdict of the
churches and social workers of
New York City is that "they
can no longer do this Job
alone" These children are
not the problem of New York
City alone, but of the entire
United States; people every
where are more than willing to
help. Aliens come in through
New York, our largest port,
and for awhile and for MANY
reasons they are not able to
move. 1t is not usually their
intention to come to New York.
They mean to come to the
United States. They must be-
come American citizens, they
must be assimilated and they
must finally take their places
for either bad or good in every
section of the country. Is it
not then the duty OF the people
OF all these sections to help
shoulder the burden of making
them physically, mentally.
morally and spiritually what
they should finally be-citizens
as good as we or better.
This project gives the under
privileged child of the slums a
chance at better home environ

He built a house, time laid it in
the dust;
He wrote a book, it's title now
1OTSOC,
He ruled a city, but his name
is not
On any tablet craven, or where
rust
Can gather from disuse, or
marble bust.
He took a child from out a
wretched cot,
Who on the state dishonor
might have brought,
And reared him to Christians
hope and trust.
me boy, to manhood grown,
became a light
To many souls, and preached
for human need
The wondrous love of the Om-
nipotent.
The work has multiplied, like
stars at night,
When darkness deepens, every
