Tin- terrible conditions existing
in Whitechapel, Imdon, to which
Gen, William Booth referred when
he Haiti it made him "hunger for
hell" are found to be just as
terrible in our own Christian
America. Henry M. Tichenor
says that there is more damnable
inhumanity practiced in any one
large city of our land, than there
is among all the heathens of
other lands!
Who can doubt this who is
broad minded enough to read
both sides? However, there are!
many who do not, and let me say
right here that the person whoj
is so narrow and prejudiced as to
turn a deaf ear to the Bufferings
of humanity is not worthy of the
name Christian, though there are
many who call themselves such
who would be shocked ar.d would
try to discredit any one, who
should tell him of the horrible
conditions existing in our tene
ments. When three or four
families live in a single room, as
is often the case, and that room
has no way for sunlight to enter
and has little or no ventilation,
what can you expect? No privacy,
no comfort, no home! A condi
tion most favorable to disease
and immorality.

of the City of New York reported

Man and Sleep.
How much sloop ia necessary for
a man? The question was rnisod
centuries ugo by Montaigne. "Phisi
tians," he wrote, "may consider
whether sleep bo so necessarie that
our life must needifdcpend of it, for
we findo that Perseus, king of Mace
don, prisoner at Kome, being kept
from sleep, was made to die, Imt
Plinio aleageth that some have lived
a long time without any sleep at
all. And Herodotus reporteth there
are nations where men sleep and
wake by haJfe yeares. And those
that write the life of Epimcnides
the Wise allirm that ho slept the
continuall space of seven and fifty
yeares."
work who wants it!
There are about five million
unemployed workers in the U. S.
today! Why? Simply because a
few men own the mines, mills,
factories and other means of pro
duction and will only employ
them when thVy choose to do so!
Fifty men in the U. S. own one
third of its entire wealth, and
apd only two per cent of the peo
ple of New York City own their
own homes. The great majority
of the workers of tbe world who
produce all wealth are absolutely
homeless.
The White Slave Traffic exists
today in all its hideousness in
spite of all legislation and at
tempted reform. . Thousands of
innocent girls, many of them
mere children, are sacrificed each
year to satisfy the lusts of moral
degenerates and to fill the coffers
of the wretches 'who profit by
the trade.
What shall we say of a system
that exports two billion dollars in
American made goods annually
while our own people who pro
duced these goods are starving
to death and going naked because
they do not receive enough wages
to buy back even the necessities
of life? Of all the crimes for
which the profit system is re
sponsible the vilest and most
shameful is that of Child Labor.
The U. S. Census reports show
that in the last ten years child
labor has increased more than
200 per cent. A system that pro
duces five million unemployed
men makes child labor a necessity.
You see it is much more profit
able for the masters to employ
children in their mills and. fac
tories than to employ men as
suffering, the awful injustice
they are forced to endure are all j
due to our blindness and indiffer- i
ence. Little children of six years j
are dragged from their beds be-'
fore daylight and sent, half
awake, to toil all through the
wearv hours until seven o'clock
at night in the cotton mills of the J
south. Jane Addams reports!
finding a little child of five at'
work in a factory at two o'clock j
in the morning! What chancel
have these children to develop
anything unless it be a feeling
of hatred and a spirit of rebellion
against a system that has so sore
ly oppressed them. With pinched
faces and sad eyes they are look
ing to us for deliverance, and we
dare not fail in our duty toward
them and toward our fellow-man
or our vaunted Christianity
amounts to nothing and is a
blasphemy against God! I ap
peal especially to those who call
themselves Christians for as such
you have pledged your lives to
the service of Him who came to
"preach the gospel to the poor,
heal the broken hearted, preach
deliverance to the captives, the
recovery of sight to the blind,
and to set at liberty them that
are bruised!" And who said
"Woe unto the world because of
its offenses!" Can we keep on
praying "Thy Will Be Done" and
allow these conditions to exist
when the good book tells us it is
not God's will? It is time for
the church to recognize the class
struggle and to take her stand
for or against oppressed humani
ty. This challenge to the Chris
tian consciousness of our day
must be met! The blood of the
innocents is calling aloud for
vengeance and God is holding us
