$$$ terre aca I THE MIDNIGHT MISSION. @ Noble Work and How it Was Begun— How it is Supported, its Success and its Good Resu!ts—Snow Flakes Sul- lied by the Mire of the Great City — Interesting Facts. For many years past a great deal has been written ‘an the newspapers and a great dea! nas been said by our lawmakers concerning the ravages which the ‘@ocial Evil is making in the metropolis, the horrors ftentalis upon the community which tolerates its -existence and the tendency it has to add to the in- orease of the worst crimes annually paraded on the -criminal calendar, It has been time and again de- mounced in the pulpit as a something too frightful 4m itself to contemplate, even for the sake of exciting the antipathy of the virtuous against it; as eho great canker of our metropolitan society, which as siowly eating into its very vilals; asa monster which is daily gaining new strength and vigorous ‘Aife from the utter indifference of the people to ita *daneful results. But notwithstanding the combined Anduence of the pulpit and the press thus brought to wear upon the question as to the best way of getting id of the evil, it was but two years ‘ego that the first practical step was taken ‘fm this city to: win from their lives of shame ‘the unfortunate persons whom circumstances had abrown into the revolting business of prostitation. ‘Hndeed it has ever been found a very easy thing to ‘denounce prostitution and to call down the ven- @eance of Heaven upon the heads of those who vencourage it directly or indirectly, but it has also ‘been found that neither the finely rounded periods of the eloquent diviues, composed for the delectation of “respectable” congregations, nor the savage editorials of virtuous editors on the subject have sever served the purpose of converting a single way- “ward sister from ner sad life or of making her look ‘back upon her innocent childhogd with the slightest Meeling of regret. Experience teaches, however, ‘and those who have at heart the welfare of the poor girls, between whom and society there seems—and only seems—to be an impassabie gulf, finally Wecame convinced ‘that denunciation of what } id mot be helped had no other effect a to harden the frail ones against their ‘well wishers and to regard them as so many tor- ‘menters, who desired if possible to make their lives muore miserable. They perceived, did these good ‘people, that to do batue successfully with the dread ‘horror it was necessary to fight it on the ‘‘compro- ‘mise’ plan—not only to so address the mselves to the Wetter teelings of the fallen women as to cause them 4o repent of their past lives, but also to extend to ‘shem a helping hand, to place them in such a posi- ‘tion a8 would absolutely prevent their being obliged severtoreturn to their former calling to earn their ‘dally bread; and above all to hold out to them the Hope that society is not a Garden of Eden out of ewhich they were driven by an inevitable fate, and the entrance to which, defended by an angel, not a faming sword, is forevermore shut against them. One of the first practical methods instituted for the Teformauon of these fallen ones in this city was THB MIDNIGHT MISSION, ‘This society had its origin in an informal conver- Ration hela on the 1st of November, 1866, betweea the Rev. 5. H. Hilliard, chaplain of St. Barnabas mis- gion, and Mr. Gustavus Stern, now a missionary of fue Diocesan Board of the American Church Mission- ery Society. Mr, Stern had then just arrived trom Mingignd, where he had had an opportunity of op pees the operation of a mission among falien romén, inaugurated ten years before in London by J, Blackmore, lieutenant in the royal navy, and since uted with remarkable success by the London idnight meeting movement, The subject was not ew to the missionary’s mind, It bad engaged his fhoughts for some time, and he had al- reat had some personal cxperience in tue ‘worl His interest, however, being newly Bwakened, and iis zeal rekindled by this conversation, he broucht the subject before the ener or the St. Barnabas Missionary Associa- ion, at one of itg regular meetings, for their con- @ideration. At this meeting he rehearsea Mr. Stern’s account of the methods and resuits of the London work, and also read to the association some extracw’ om the biography of Lieutenant Black- ‘more, Inspired by this favorable presentation of tne sub- % two members of the association—Mr. Daniel untington and Mr. Philip B, Henry—at once came rw and offered to co-operate with Mr. Hilitara 4n inaugurating a similar effort in New York, oy jeans of the distribution of religious tracts and direct personal appeals to this class of women in \our streets. Other gentlemen soon came to their gid, and on the 20th of January, 1867, the mubject was brought before tue Cliristian pub- Mic through printed circulars, read and distributed in imeveral of the churches, On the Cues of the wwame day the Rev. Dr. Peters, rector of St. Michael's church, New Y preached in Trinity chapel, be- "fore the Prove: Episcopal City Mission Society, & memorial sermon of the late Mrs. Richmond, who, to all her mavy works and labors of love added self. pacrificing efforts in behalf of fallen women. At the close of the sermon a coliection was takeu, ‘which was appropriated to the new enterprise. At @public meeting held in benali of the mission tn the Trinity chapel on the 2ist of January followin; new members were added to the society and several ‘ladies volunteered their services as coworkers in the cause, Belng thus encouraged by official sanc- ion @Md public approval and stimulated by peca- lary contributions, another step was taken. ns ‘were hired for three months, on the corner of ms street and Broadway, and comfortably fur- THE FIRST ‘RECEPTION ‘was held on the Ist of February, printed cards of @nvitation having been distributed by tha members, ‘ho went out two and two into the streets two yevenings in the week for that purpose.

Many there were who, after resolving (perhaps with much reluctance) to accept the invi- tion, as they wri rcecned the door would some- imes falter; and they would shrink back from the Ahought of encountering the eye of purity; their ‘very entrance being an acknowledgment of guuit. ‘Friendly hands were there, however, to open the door, and to encourage them to goin. As they en- warm-hearted Christian ladies came forward to greet them and make them welcome; first them refreshments, then drawing them to «conversation relat to their temporal ‘and spiritual welfare, At this, the first re- ception, seventeen guests were present.

SUCCESS ASSURED. On the 15th of February another reception was held, when twenty-six girls were present, and one of them, despite remonstrances and ridicule of her companions, resolved to go to the St. Barnabas Home. It was discovered at the start that the giris objected to going to places that couid be looked ‘upon in the light of “pubiic institutions,” partly be- cause of their publicity and partiy pecause they re- rded them a8 @ species of penitentiaries, the utile formerly given to Magdalen asylums in England; and the managers of the mission at once detertuined If possible to make their home more like that of a rivate Christian family, but little known to any bat hemselves and the class whom they were desiro of directly benefiting, where the girls could enter without observation and be wader no neediess re- straint. Thus they hoped they might (at Jeast in some instances) be spared the pam of eecing those whom they had drawn for a while into a pure atmosphere, under saving m- fluences, go out into those sinks of in\juity irom ‘which they bad striven to Win them. But what could they do? They had no such accommodations, nor yet the means wherewith to procure them. ‘Afier no little deliberation, however, it was deter- ihined to go forward in faith, relying upon Obristian liberality to sustain them in @ step So imperatively necessary to the full success of their enterprise. A “CITY OF REFUGE.” A commodions house was procured in Amity Street, at a rent of $3,000 per annum, which would afford adequate accommodatiows for nineteen or igera, more than they anticipated at any one. time, as it Was de- signed more as a city of refuge than @ permanent asylum, ‘The parlors were neatly and simply furnished, and, through the kindness of iriends, adorned with a few books and pictures and illuminated texts, rendering thom cheerful and at- tractive for the weekly receptions. ‘The dormito- ries were comfortably furnished. Thus far, as has been stated, th agers did not aim at having the Iniasion house a permanent home for those brought under their care, a8 ether nobie institutions under tue care of the Episcopal Church subserve this end to some extent.

THE GOOD RESULTS. On the Ist of May, 1867, three months after the opening of the mission, seveuty-seven girls had resided in the place for a ionger or shorter Ume—some for @ day or two, some for weeks or months. Of these seventy-seven, forty- six it was hoped had abandoned street life, Fourteen obtained respectable homes. Seven were restored vo their friends, Seventeen re- mained in the house, and eight in other kindred in- stitutions, Of the sad remainder, twenty-two re- turned to their evil courses, and nine were lost signt of, There are gow in the home seventeen girls, and during the past twelve months 122 had been re- celved, Making a total of 189 Of this number many remamed but a few days; and otuers for several months, and they all, while they did remain, found refuge and moral and religious instruction at the Home, ‘The totalnumber tue Mission i their last report recorded as follows:— .

The giris ace never allowed to go out on the streets unless accompanied by one of the ladies Who have charge of tue Home, and all letters addressed to them are opened and read by Mrs, M. Liddell, the lady in charse before they are deilvered. ‘his cen- sorship is a wholesome one, and 1s of course necea- gary, as vile “outsiders” are Dever weary in their ex- ertions to induce the girls to revura to their former lives. An example of this will give an idea of the difficulties the stitution has to contend against. One night a girt of the town, beastly intoxicated, calied at the some, She was admitted and was fur- nished with abed, She went away the next morn- ing, forgetting even to thank her benetactors tor her night’s lodging. The next night a girl, a sickly little thing about sixteen years of age, called aud veclared that she Wanted to amend her lite, and expressed herself as heartily disgusted with her sinful past. The next morning she was seen whispering to one of the girls while they were going through the hail to breakfast contrary to the regulations or the Home ; and u short ime afterward sue begged to be allowed to yo away, as sie didn’t want to stay im the place any longer. lt wasn’t “jolly” enough for her. Mrs. Liddell pleaded with her to stay, but no, go she would and she went. ‘The following day, tue girl she had been seen whispering to, wlio by the way had been in the home for several months, demanded her clothes and left the house. It would appear that the drunken girl had recognized one of her old friends in the imate, and, on reporting the fact to her “landiady,” that worthy sent the little sixteen year old to invite her by strong inducements to come back to @ life of simfui pleasure. Tne tempter had come in a weak moment, and the in- Inate fell. Another girl who devermimed to leave, was told by the doctor that her constitution had been impaired by excesses of years gone by, and that uw she returned to her lormer life she would not Last three months. She turned a deat ear to his en- treaties and left, ‘This was on the 14th of August last. On the 13th of November she died in a house of ill fame in Prince street, cAiling piteously for her benefactors of the Mission to come and take ber back, that she mtended to be good and did not want to die with all her sins upon her head, She was buried by the Mission, THOROUGH CONVERSIONS. As an illustration of the practical workings of the mission the following furnisue: lair example:— An unfortunate young WOmau was adiitted to the mission in the early part of iast spring. After re- maining a sufficient length of tine to satisfy the managers of the Home of her deterinination to re- form, a situation wos secured fur her as a domestic in a family in a netghborfug State, Witn tnis family she has remained till quice recently, giving the most perfect satisfaction and illustrating tue stability of her reform. ‘ihe family, breaking up lousekeeping, secured for her a@ situation in anotuer place, whicl she refused to accept “unless she could nave per- mission to attend church and Sunday school.” ‘The following letter 18 from a girl for whom the Ladies’ Commuttee procured a situation:— DEAR ——:—I feel asif I conld not walt any longer to write to you. I think a letter from you would comfort me, I feel so louely. 1 feel ke one alone in the wide world. Dear Mine ‘ou don't know how hard it 1s for me to appear cheerful, when I feet so sad.

The lady with whom she ts living writes:— She isnot always cheerful, but 1s much attached to my Uttle boy. She is conscientious and diligent. I feel much attached to her and interested in her, Those who are found obdurate and who even after remaining in the Home several months finally leave to resume,their former lives, in nine cases out of ten are Of that class who to their other excesses during their career of sin had added that of ex- cessive use of intoxicating liquors. Mrs, Liddell 1s in constant receipt of letters like this from giris who have been furnished with good situations and who have become thoroughly reformed. In conclusion it may be mentioned for the benefit of the charitably inclined that this noble institution is supported entirely Patra axe subscriptions, and that if the Mission had a@ large and commodious house it could do ten times the good it 1s now doing. lt i8 @ work that God's blessing has rested upon since it began, and those who cau aid it should do so, forthe sake of Him who said that a cup of water given in his name Would not be without lis reward, PERSONAL MOVEMUNTS.

BunDayY, Dec. 12, 1969. ‘Usually the meeting of Congress has been the occa- lon of considerable animation in Wall street, wut the assembling of the National Legislature this year has not been as yet productive of any very decided effects upon financial matters. ‘The President's Message and Secretary Boutwell’s report rendered the gold market firmer, and the price touched 124, as against 122%, the lowest point of the week. Their effect has been rather to strengthen and steady the market than to impart buoyancy and activity. The gold operatora who essayed @ “bull” movement in the beginning of the month have, therefore, received no check from these public documents, but still have found it uphill work 1 maintain the movement, Enough of the policy of Congress has already de- veloped itself to warrant the belief that, whatever steps are taken in financial matters, there will be no contraction of the currency. Some of the Western members seem determined on legislation which will swell the volume of greenbacks now in circulation, Would it not be wise to pursue the policy of masterly inactivity in all this business of the currency? Are we not steadily advancing to Specie payments without the aid of Congressional enactments? Gold has returned to figures which are the lowest since the summer of 1862, In all proba- bility the decline will go on in the same ratio, and bring us to resumption without the dangers of a commercial panic. Who demands such measures of Congress? Secretary Boutweil is in perfect ac- cord with General Grant in the opinion that the question ts not one for immediate legisiation. The present session of Congress should devote itself to the work of perfecting a plan to fund the national debt at a lower rate of interest. The people at large are more desirous of a reduction of tueir taxes than of a return to specie payments. If any change 1s made jet the banking system be made free, each in- stitution to deposit non-interest bearing government bonds as security for its issues, It 18 a deliberate imposition of the present banking system to tax the people about twenty millions a year for the privilege of itsexistence. It should give way to one that would afford a market for a large fraction of the national debt. Last year the banks compated and defeated all measures contemplating a redistribution of the currency. There is no power in the land so strong as that of the national bank riog, which wields the influence and wealth of the 1,680 different institudons to whicn the privilege is now limited. If it was easy to defeat redistripution, which was apparent aad clamorous justice, how much more easy will it be to stave off free banking. The re- sponse from abroad to the suggestions of the Con- g@ressional reports has been of a flattering character. ‘The immediate effect was rather unfavorable to the quotations of our five-twenties, inasmuch as London and Frankfort speculators haa been led to expect immediate specie payment recom- mendations on the part of the President, but the foreign public, comprehending the honest and honorable position of the Executive and his Secretary of Finance, invested so suddenly that the speculators who feared a loss were aston- ished to find the bonds go off their hands at a large profit, The government market during tne week has been quite active, if not excited, and under the lunpression that the funding process will deprive the five-cwenties of their value as a long investment a sharp demand sprung up for the 1881's, the ten- forties and the currency sixes, the first mentioned going up two per cent in one day, ‘The impression is genera: among the leading government dealers, both domestic and foreign, that the Secretary of the Treasury will have no dificuliy whatever in funding the debt at four and a half per cent, The stock mar- ket during the week was very strong and the cliques successiully pursued their plan of a bull campaign. With few exceptions every leading stock on the list was higher, by an taverage of five or six per cent, on Saturday night than it was on Monday morning. The cliques rather have it to themselves, however, for the volume of business Was small. 1¢ 18 alfficult to enlist the public in any movement, and will be until the September panic has been forgotten or @ new set of buyers comes into the street. The money market was easy and little anxiety is shown as to its future. The cotton and wheat crops are moved, or as much as needs assistance from this centre. ‘rhe prospect for the remainder of the winter is a supply of funds more than equal to all the demands that can arise before the return of spring activity. Tne weekly statement of the associated banks presents a@ favorable exhibit, without divering very much in its general result from that of last week, the slight outflow of currency that occurred during the week being more than counterbalanced by the receipts during the same period. The following are the totals of the last two statements:— Loans.. 253,235,996 dpecie 80,638,539 Circulation... 34,140,468 Deposits... 182,690,140 Legal tenders. + 45,989,274 And the following are the speciiic differences:— Decrease in loans.. ++ $506,041 Decrease in specie.
