ER AND HELP US PLEA,,,FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FULL q08PEL ADVANTAGES CROWDING THE CHURCH OUT The "Halfway Church," Neither Uptown Nor Downtown in a Large City, Led by a Consecrated Band of Workers Is atc Desideratum in the Modern Life of'the Urban Population of Any Country. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year vos, by Frederick Diver. of Taranto, at the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Lo S Angeles, Cal., June 18.—In every large city there ie a considerable pop- ulation, to whom this sermon 'peculiarly appflea. The preacher voices their plea for the gospel, and urges that it be no longer rejected. The text is Acts xvi, 9, "Come over intolMacedonia, and heli us." "Nearby Macedonians! What do you mean?" says IS ome one. "Is there any cla,ss of people livingnearto me who have not the gospel preached to them as it ought to be preached? Why, near- ly all my life I have been living Irt one of our large , cities. I have sat under some of •the greatest preachers of the World, Surely all Jhose who live near to me have the same kind of gospel advantages I have?" No, my friend, you are wrong. There are scores, and hundreds, and thousands, and tens of thousands whoehave not Before I get through with my 'subject _I hope to prove to ...you that my premise is true: for to -day I am going tospeak for the. most part to those wile have lived near- ly all their lives in a large city. Where did you go to church arhen' you first came to, town? "Oh," you 'say, "I used to worship in such_ and such a street. TM.greart Dr. So-and-so preached there. But I moved away,' and most of my old neighbors moved away long ago. The boarding house ele- ment crowded us out. The region where used to live is now filled with `room- ers.' " 'Indeed! I suppose very few people are now living in your old street. "Oh, no; quite the eolitrarY." you answer. "Where there used, to be one family living in a. house there are new sometimes twenty or thirty pee-. ple. Light housekeeping- in many in- stances has made each double room house a whole family." Indeed; Then, with the increased population swarm- ing there. I suppose your old ehuch is crowded to the doors. I suppose your oia Sunday school is five times larger than it used to be and the church Members have taken every pew. "No," you answer, "I only wish that were true. I love that old church now more than I lia.ve ever loved it. But the trouble is the wealthy people moved away. Then old Dr. So-and-so got a call to heaven. Then the people who remained called a fine young man, bat he 'could not make the church go. He struggled on and on. They could nbt pay him a salary sufficient to live upon and he had to leave. Now the Old church has,a, very ordinary man in the pulpit. The seats are only a sixth full. The whole work there seems to be at a standstill. What is being done is done in the quicksands. One month the people are there and the next they are gone. I am ,afraid the old church is geographically doomed." Your old church's work geographical- ly doomed? What! Can such a condi- tion exist at our yery doors? There are thousands and hundreds of thou- sands of a city's population swarming around those oiq churches. Shall all our hest church l strongholds be turned to secelar uses? Such al condition must not exist. My theme to -day is a call for help for what is termed the deserted church of the boarding house regions of a large city. 1 would make a plea not for the downtown church, whieh is situated in the heart of a business centre of a great city, 1 have been pastor of such a church as that in Pittsburg, and I know they can be made useful and prosperous if right 'methods are adopted. I make not a plea for the church situated in the residential region. I have such a church as that in the beautiful city of Los' Angeles. If a man does his work, • there, it Is not difficult to gather in the families. But I make a; plea for the "halfway" city church, the church which is not downtown nor uptown. I plead for the church which Is surround- ed by rooming houses and by the boarding house element—the "halfway church," which is in a region congest- ed with multitudes of people who have not the gospel preached to them as it ought to be. make a plea for such a church because I have been pastor of one and I know of the almost -insur- mountable obstacles which it has to overcome. The "halfway Church" of the large city to be a spiritual success must have, in the first place, an earnest band of strong, able-bodied men and Women who for the church's sake are ready to help the Iminister and fill the official positions of that church. It must have tried gospel Veterans in its boards of elders, deacons and trustees. It must have able leaders in the Sun- day school who know the Bible and are tready to stay by their classes un- der -all conditions. It must have, these men and women not as visitors, but as members in good and regular standing, who are identified with the church be- cause there they know they can best serve their Lord and Master and there they will always be in their places. Why do I put such an emphasis upon this plea for cOnsecrated men and wo- men in the .official boards? A true church leader Cannot be created in a Oay or a week or a month or a, year any more than -a lawyer, a doctor, an 'engineer, a prima donna, .can be cre- ated in a minute. Supposing I should enter your store some day and say, "Come, Mr. Jenes, let us take a trip to Europe and.have a five months' va- cation." "Oh," you would say to me, "I cannot go. 1 -have no one with whom to leave the store." "No one? Why, what are you -talking about? Here are clerks galore. You have at least twen- ty men and women in your employ." "I know it," you answer, "but not one of thern all is -competent to take any place. They are all young men. I cannot make a merchant out of an er- rand boy it a minute any more than you could make a Thomas A. Edison In a rnionie out of a Young college youth who has just matriculated in ths scientific school of Princeton," Yet the strange fat remains that, though church work is the most important of all work, the leading Christian men of a city will get up almost en masse and walk ont of these "halfway churches." Thus they will practically say to the minister who is struggling there; "Young man,' fill your session with a lot of young' people who are utterly in- experienced.'

Thus- thea leading men,—seerningly ,withoule. th least coniPunetiora .desert their goSpe ship.whea it is in danger of sinking. - Is it suiprising that these "halfwas churches% are destroyed when theli strong church leaders desert thein i this Way?. Let me lto-day enter one b our large city churches in the redden - tial districts and take away fifteen of its powerful consecrated church -lead- ers. The next year have another, fif- teen depart, and so on year by Year. Would not the spiritual work of that church be doomed? Yet Wee is just what is happening; to our. "halfway, ,churelies." The .greatest diffitulty fac- ing such churches is, not that the rnul- titudes are. not near by to be reached:, These multitudes by the ebb and flow of 'the "boarding houSe elenient" come and go, but there is always a meiltitude there. The greatest --trouble is that the. 'leading positions of those ehurches are not filled with expeeienced Man and women, with gospel -veterans who stick there for the work's sake. These "half- way churches" have riot the. spiritual leaveners to leavdo the church. leat. a Christian workers, be ye men or women, you leave nel eight to desert that "halfway °Much !" There you are needed fifty, a hundred, times more -than you araneeded upon the :church of the bouleVard. I know of what I sPeak, It Is simply an irnpOsSibilitY2 for any clergyman to make a success of one .ofs those important "halfway churches' unless some of the Christian men andl women who are now sitting • uselessly In !some of our wealchier uptown churches are ready to go down and help. them. Again and again in these old "halfway churches" a new session of nine xne hers has been elected; an_d ' within six itonths half of thern would -14 gone. No church on . earth can stand such a dispersion as that and yet grow In - spiritual power as it ought. Cita back, 0 Chrietian men and women, to those needy "halfway churches" where Yen belong! - - The importance of financial aid for these "halfway cluirehes"- can best be illustrated beadescribing the classes of people to' which these churches appeal. They are not "dead beats," loafers and outcasts; they are, for the most part, young men and women — students, clerks and . young married . people. There are many who have known what better days mean, but ;have been - feirced on account of misfortune to seek the cheaper lodgings of a town. Shall they not be looked after? • Now, I believe 1.ri saving the canni- bal on the Kongo. I belie -VS in social settlements in _the slums. 1, however, do not believe in giving so much to the, work in the 'slums and to converting the # heathen cannibals that we have none left to give to develop the spirit- ual life of the farmer's boy and the young girl clerk living almost within a stone's throw of our homepeunder the shadow of the "halfway church" of a large city. The "halfwarchurch" must have the best of music, the best of preaching, the best of church organization. It also must have money to aeleviate such poverty and suffering as may exist among he worshippers. . It must be _bread to the hungry and medicine to the sick; fire and clothes to the naked, and rent for the homeless as well ae 'administer the "Bread of Life" for all. It literally must be all things to all men. For the Bible comMandment dis- tinctly and emphatically says that we should "do good unto all reen, especial- ly lento the houSghold-of faith." ' And here the "household of faith" means the members of your own church, , "What do you mean by that?" says some one to me. "Is the ..`ha.lfway church' to become a, bureau of chari- ties? With it are you going to bribe men and women to come to church? If you do, you will only reach men's stomachs and develop their mettenary spirit and not their hearts." Oh, no, I would not bribe men to become Chris- tians. But I would take care of them if they! are members of the "halfway 1' churches" and have been tripped up by miefortune. ' And furthermore, my brother, if you cannot teach Christian men thac the best friends they have on earth in time of distress are the membersof their- own churches, those men will after awhile cease to revere the church, and, perhaps, in time cease to love Jesus Chriet himself. • If the church of the Lord Jesus 'Christ will not look after its members, who will? Here, for instance, is that farm- er's boy about whom weN ere talking. He goes to business one stormy winter day :Without his rubber. He takes cold; pneumonia sets in. What is to become' of him? .1.1e has no. friends. He eats in a little restaurant five blocks froth his boarding house. Shall he be hustled off to the county hos- pital? Shall hehave no one to write to his -mother and 'father, miles away? -Here is a poor widow struggling to be brother, father and mother to her three little girls. Sunday conees around, and there_ are nO decent shoes in the house and no proper clothing, - Shall that 1 widowed Mother not havethose shoes provided? Here is a young husband taken sick. You call at the house and the wife meets you at the door with a shawl about her shoulders. It is freezing cold in that room. What is the ..matter? Coal is $10 a to. No' credit. Thie salary of that young man Is stopped. Has not the "halfway church" a mission in every one of those heroes? I tell .you it has, and further- more I tell you that where there is one case of poverty which ehouldbe alle- viated in the boulevard . church there are fifty, aye, a hundred cases of dis- tress under the shadow of the "half- way church." Christ told the Phari- see to go and he a good Samaritan to the Jew who had fallen among the thieves. Christ aleo tells the "half - ! Lway church" to he a practical Anancial !helper on its jerioho road. ' The "halfway church" must have, 1 . ' !consecrated leaders too. It must have , 'o,ststde financial aid. It rnuet also ia've a church building i:hieh is op(al every night .of the week -- Moinday, FuesdaY, Wednesday, Thursday. Fri - ow and Saturday az well as Sunday. It must appeal to its peopte through their social as well as there: spiritual nature. Two preaching services on a Sunday, a, midweek prayer meetilig and a short ;hoar for Sunday schoola. Will not be the work of a "halfway chfirch." - Four, weekly sessions of prayer and praise serVice cannot sue - e ssfully cope with saloon and billiard and dance halland low variety thea- tres which compete With -the vim and the vitals of a "halfway- church's" par- ish. . The way a church should be conduete ed for the boarding house element is entirely different from how one should be conducted for a residential district of la boulevard. Let us compare them. "I ow are you, Mr. So-and-so? Where ar you going to -night?" I greet you tirps• in the: electric car On your way home from buslaese. "Oh," you say, "1 a.rri goinghome. i am going to pend the happiest part of my daily .xiSterice with my family. I am going o Spend an evening at home with my vife and children. Come up and take inter with me." "Yes, I will," I an‘- .. we . We alight from the car on a nei street. You say "How are ,you" te lmost every one you meet. Here 11 the neighbors know each other. A dear wife greets you at the door. Your c iildren come ronrping through the hall the call for dinner. When the dessert i finished we adjourn to -the library o sitting room. The games are brought o It Or the piano is opened or the in- t res irig book is read. That is the way y('U ..pend your evenings. Every intiu- e ce !of your liorne is an influence for g od.! ow abqut the evenings of that poor fa -river's son who is boarding under th shadow of the "halfway church?" H. has one small hall bedroom. If he st ys' there too, much at 'night the land- Iai y grumbles at him for wasting the go, !After he has eaten his supper if he does not find his enjoyment in the eh rch or some of its connections in all probabiliy t he will- find it in ways he ought t eito find it, The "halfway ch rcli" ust have for its young peo- ple places for debate, places for musi- cal entertainment, places. where the yo ng pvople can assemble, or els% tho Young people will drift off and dri 4 away and be gone forever. I am to -day pastor of a church of the boulevard. I wou-ld not conduct my chu-ch any differently from the old fas forted, conservative way • of my for fathers -if I could. But I want to tell the pastors' of the "halfway ches" in the boarding house dis- s of a great city that if I was Pastor of such a church I would ntirely different from what I once I -a-ould change my policy entire - d make my church attractive to oung men alid the young women live in those boarding houses. My nt principle of raising my chil- ls to let them have all the games, ie fun, all the friends, they want y will only play those games at ome. My principle of carrying. on Ifway church" would be to keep oung people at the church or in cture room all I could. I would h on Sunday Jesus Christ just as earnestly as God would give me pow - bete on week nights I would have ptioon lectures. I would have ng, societies. I would have read- oorns and libraries and ;social ings. In other words, as the sa- of those regions fights flir my men and women at all times ring. all the week nights I would or them day in and day out also. ly, I remark that these "half - niches" need the very best min - the world afferds. They need lest lh brain power, in organiz- ver, in preaching ability and in ation. Our presbyteries should he finest young.men who come onr seminaries and say: "Here, men, we want you for a. 'half- way church.' We will—support you. We will no simply put you in charge of a church and then let you starve. We will' st nd,,by you after you are install- ed. - W ile you work we will see that you ha e semething to live upon." Then the stro g Young men. of our seminaries will en er these "halfway pulpits" and =widethey are on the honor list of the ,gos a el warriors of .the ages instead of amo g• the unfortunates who are making' a failure of life because from chit tric o.gal do did. ly a the who Pres dren .all t If th my 1 a "h the the 1 prea. er. stere • dehat Ing gathe loons youn and d fight Las way c isters 'the: a Ing po consec seleet out of young an outs seem to What men an churche They w being br they -evil will bec and dru de 1 standpoint their churches be going down. will become of these young women about the "halfway " it we do not save them? 11 spiritually die.
