A certain Bamari- tan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, had com- passion on him, Friend by The Wayside There are many in our midst who have heen deprived of all that makes life worth while, and to such as these, of whatever name or clime, it \s our privilege, as we journey, to minister Men and women without education, without funds, many of them without friends, strangers to our language and our customg, heaten by the hard eir- cumsatances of life, are found by the wayside of our daily journey. To pass by on the other side, like the priest, might be easy, but would hardly be Christian; to merely 1nok upon him, like the Levite, and, seeing how much trouble it would be to help him, hurry on to something more at tractive, wonld be to neglect a2 very obvious opportunity for usefulneas There would seem to be hut one thing to do, if one would prove neighbor to him who has fallen a vietim to cfr- cumstances—to follow the example ot the Good Samaritan and show mercy on him The Samaritan, when he man, had compassion on went to him. Tf we are to help the people who most need us, we must g0 where they are; and so in onr City Mission work, our home visita- tion is of the utmost importance in our efforts to he good neighbors. And in this work we need to remember that the first thing that the Samaritan did was to bind up the man's wounds, pouring in oil and wine In order to be of any real help in the homes which we visit, we must be well- equipped with the friendship that sin- cerely cares that our neighbor is in sorry straits, and the leve which car ries healing for the wounds that a rough world has produced, even though the unfortunate one may not he very lovely in appearance. Welcome Visitors Dr. Fosdick has said, "We ecry vainly like Cassim before the magic cave, ‘Open, Barley,' if we try to penetrate the secrets of a human personality without sympathy, loyalty, faith These alone cry, 'Open, Ses- ame."” When the visitor goes in this spirit of love and sympathy, she gains ready entrance into the homes, and the overburdened hearts open easily to her approaches, knowing that her only purpose is to relieve as far as possible. report was gay the him and 275 Families About 275 families of over twenty different nationalities are visited reg- ularly by the three City Mission workers, and insofar as it is within our power, their various needs are looked after. In.most of these homes, the adults know but little of the Eng- lish language, so regular lessons are taught in as many places as possible. You see plainly that with only two workers besides the superintendent, one of them on part time only, Eng- lish lessons cannot be given in all of the 275 families Can you think how inconvenient it would be if no one in your home conld read English and only the chil- dren could speak it? Just a few days ago, T met one of my little Italian Sunday school scholars. on her way home from school She held up to me a printed card that her teacher had given her for her parents and asked, "Can you read this?" She knew that her Sunday school teacher could read the literature used on Sunday; whether she could read a card casually presented on the street was a question Taught to Read All the reading done in her home has to be by the faltering efforts of an eight yvear old boy, a somewhat uncertain medium when anything of importance is to be communicated. You can imagine, perhaps, the tri- umph when a woman finds, after re- peated lessons with the missionary visitor, that she can really read and write English. Sometimes the visitor is called on to show the mother how to make garments for her children, and it requires some ingenuity to con- struct two dresses from material, real- ly sufficient for only one, but time spent in this way is by no means con- sidered wasted. Distributing Cheer Also Then there are the discouraged ones to cheer, the perplexed one to advise, the bereaved ones, to try to comfort. the thriftless ones, to seek to inspire with ambition and self-respect and this is hardest of all. Most of all do we need to help those who have had few opportunities for apiritual help, or who have neglected the opportunities they have had, to a faith in God that will give them a firm hold on the things that cannot fail, when all earthly things seem to be against them This only can give them permanent relief in the midst of their difficulties. The city mission workers, only one of whom can visit more than one full day a week have made 1869 visits dur- ing the past year, and have only touched upon the work that need so much to be done Physical Aid Also You will remember that the Samar- itan brought his wounded neighbor to an inn and tenk care of him, thus giving him the personal service wlch i8 =0 essential if we are to truly be- friend those in need. We are often called upon to conduct our people to physicians or hospitals, in order to in- terpret for them or give them courage; | to go with them when they register as vofers; to take children to have their eyes examined; and to show our friendship and numberless other ways that help them through eeasons of| hardship and prove to them that eur desire to help is ready to express itself in action. The “Lazy” Mother COur parsonal service and efforts are needed not only for Mr. and Mrs Neighbor, but also for a long proces- sion of little Néghbors, for nearly every wounded man of our acquaint ance has his quiver full of them. A public school teacher in New York, after many ineffectnal attempts to induce a tardy hoy to become pune- tual, made the remark that he must | have a lazy mother, as he never came | to school on time.
