THE CHURCHES AND THE PEOPLE.
It is estimated that the churches of a city reach direct
only about 20 per cent, of the people. The newspapers
of a city reach something like 90 per cent, of the people.
Why is it that the churches do not make an effort to
reach more of the people by the use of the printed page?
Don 0. Shelton declares: "I don’t blame so much the
people for not going to church as I do the church for not
going to the people.”
The churches have developed a fine foreign missionary
spirit and have no difficulty in securing funds for thi3
work, but there seems to be little effort of the right sort
made by the city churches to increase the 20 per cent, of
people they reach directly to a possible 90 per cent, that
are reached daily by the papers of a city.
THE MYSTERIOUS URGE OF X MAS
No matter how old you are, how out of the run of
things, yet no one can escape the feel of it. It is in the
air. To fiel the urge is a sign that you are not yet as dead
or indifferent as you think you are after all. No one can
fairly say, “I am done with X mas” until none are left of
neighbors and friends and relatives or children in the
streets who may be made happier by a kindly thought or
little deed. What matters it if there arc ungrateful peo
ple in the world, anyway.
You arc at least certain to feel better for remember
ing X-mas and trying to make some one happy. Then goto
it and be happy and help to make some one else happy
this X-mas.
FOOLISH TESTS AT ELLIS ISLAND.
An awakened appreciation of the dangers of unre
stricted immigration is making itself felt at Ellis Island.
The inspectors, having taken a hold on the eugenic ideal,
are striving to guard the American citizen of the future
from an injudicious choice of progenitors. They are getting
keen on the scent for weak-mindedness in the immigrants
and are pursuing a plan of test questions.
The idea is in the right direction, but on the wrong
track, and has aroused the ridicule of Mr. Cyrus L. Sulz
burger, who, in a lecture at Cooper Union the other even
ing, said that it seemed to him that if Moses or Isaiah or
JeBUS or Mahomet should come to Ellis Island they would
be likely to be deported as feeble-minded.
Ho told the story of a Russian woman who on arriving
was certified as feeble-minded and ordered deported. She
was examined by a physician at Bellevue, who declared
she was not feeble-minded at all. Then the Federal in
spectors examined her again and said that while she was
perfectly sane, she seemed to be weak in her abstract
conceptions. They said that she had no idea, although she
was a seamstress, of what a yard or an inch were, forget
ting that outside of this country and England the terms are
never used.
Another woman who was given the test of working out
a jig-saw puzzle but revolted by saying, "This is for child
ren; let me bake or cook to show what I can do,” was
pronounced feeble-minded at first. Then the decision was
reversed and finally she was admitted.
But the best instance of the folly and childishness of
the Ellis Island test is afforded by the answer of an Irish
man, who was asked to tell the inspector how many legs
a horse has.
’Eight,’ he replied. One at each corner and two on
each side.'
*' Don't you think that is a foolish answer?’ he was
asked.
The Irishman said, A fool question deserves a fool
answer.’
He was not branded as feeble-minded
These instances nil help to prove the principle that the
man behind the gun should be considered with more
caution than the gun itself. The best idea in the world can
be made to walk on its head and create untold mischief
in other ways when entrusted to silly and injudicious per
sons It takes a thief to catch a thief, but it takes some
thing more than a feeble-minded inspector to catch a
feeble-minded immigrant.

the wealth of beautiful Nativity hymns

one of the best loved of all preachers
Phillip Brooks, will be sung In evert'
Sunday school in the land. Usbop UruoKs
spent the Christmas of 1866 In Bethle
hem and In the following hymn, wrltten >
for his own Sunday school in 1868, be
embodied his meditations during that
sacred experience;
O little town of nethlehem,
llow still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet In the dark streets shtneth
The everlasting light:
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met In thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary;
Amt gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'rlng love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
llow silently, how silently.
The wondrous gift Is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
Ths blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear ills coming.
But In tills world of sin.
Where meek souls will receive Him
still
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Hescetid to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in.
Be born In us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great gl id tidings tell;
O coins to us, abide with us,
