Excerpt from book: ignorant, the degraded, the vicious, which it is impossible to escape, are forcing us to do them good in self-defense."- Josiah Strong, The New Era, P-345- III OTHER NEEDY FIELDS " It is the important point in illumination to put your light where it is dark. If corporations did not understand the philosophy of lighting cities by gas better than some of us understand the philosophy of lighting cities by the gospel, the nights in some of our wards would be as black as the morals are." Thus speaks Dr. M.M. Parkhurst, Ex-General Superintendent of the Citizens' League of Chicago. Yes, as will be shown later, this is true. If the city lighting company should follow the same principle in its business that is pursued by the church, it would plant its brightest lights in front of the mansions where private lights already illuminate the doorways, and would leave the dismal streets of the poor unlighted. Now, as always, " the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Josiah Strong says of the church: " She is spending her energies on the best elements of society, her time is given to teaching the most intelligent, she is medicating the healthiest, she is salting the salt, while the determining masses, which include the most ignorant and vicious, the poorest and most degraded, are alike beyond her influence and her effort." Let us see how far this is true of Chicago. A gknce at the accompanying ward map will show that the most congested districts of the city, and the wards where foreigners predominate and where ignorance, poverty and sin abound, are the wards that border upon the two branches of the Chicago River. The wards 9, 10, n and 12; 16, 17, 18 and 19 west of the river; 1, 4, 5, 29 and 30 south of the river, and 22, 23 and.

APPENDIX SIDE LIGHTS TONY, MY FIRST WAIF By J. F. Atkinson, Superintendent It was a raw, chilly, December day with a little snow and considerable of ice on the partially frozen ground. The clouds were scurrying overhead and the rumble of wagons on the stone paved streets, heavily laden with various kinds of freight at this busy season of the year, could be heard in every direction. The clickety-click of the electric cars, cable lines and elevated trains, the familiar sound of the hurry-up wagon with its powerful gong, and the usual amount of smoke and soot, dust and dirt flying in the air, the roar of commerce and the hurrying multitudes and the evidences of abounding life all went to make it a typical Chicago day. Everybody seemed to be in a hurry. Chicago was in the saddle and on the stretch going pell-mell at break-neck speed after pork and beef, stocks and bonds. No wonder Chicago is quoted as the busiest city in the world. During the day I had occasion to visit the Newsboys Restaurant in de alley. I threaded my way amidst the throng of the streets and turned into the alley, which was crowded with delivery wagons and coal wagons. I very soon located the place, No. 171 De Alley, and was told that I would find the restaurant on the second floor. Entering a dark, dingy hallway and climbing a dark stairway to the second floor, I entered the restaurant, which was being conducted by ex-newsboys. After attending to my errand I looked the company of little battered mites of humanity over and decided that this would be an opportune time for me to get next to some of de guys. Seizing the opportunity, I ordered my red-hots. No sooner was I seated at the lunch counter, constructed of plain boards, than the waiter called my. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
