The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, ear Sir: J I was in the local police this morning, being unemployed and hav ing no other place to go: I was lis- tening to a case whichmhas caused quite a little inteiust of Tate, namely, the case of a young girl being arrest- ed for vagrancy. This girl may have done wrong, but who has not? I once heard the great Reader Harris, K.C,, say that to every fallen woman there was a fallen man. There were many of us sitting there both Tews and Gentiles not one of us could say that saying was wrong No douui this young girl would have been sent down, but for the friendly aid of the Rev. Mr, Harston and others of the Simcoe Street United Church, This gentleman does not know me so I'm safe, This gentleman stepped for- ward and offered to find her a home or see that something is done for her and in so doing save her from the hyenas of society. After all is not that the work of the church? Did not the Great Master Himself say, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost?" It seems to me that when the church ceases to do that she ceases "I had such a Sore Back and tried Tried Many Remedies Without Success Dodd's Kidney Pills were recommended by Daughter several remedies without success," Dodd's Kidney On. ---- J to be the church in the sense that the Christ meand it to be, and the sooner they close their doors the better, A preacher in Toronto a couple of weeks ago said (these are not quite his words) that the church had lost her seven acts of mercy and had become a big real estate organi- zation, 1 kind of think he is right. But it is very evident that this Rev. gentleman and his church does not believe in real estate as their ideal, but rather in the uplift of fallen humanity, I was glad to hear the crown attorney say he was glad something was to be done for her, and that any time she needed help| A, come to him, it reminded me so mucl of Fanny Crosly words: "Touched by a loving hand waken- ed by kindness, chords that are bro- ken will vibrate once more." Yes, sir, and when these two gentlemen fail then send this little girl round to our place, for we can at least be a friend, for after all what is life without a friend, A friend is one who considers my need before my deserving. Friendship consists of being a friend, not in having one. Well might this preacher have for his motto on his church "the House of Friend- ship," "the church with the open door." If IT were a poet 1 would writ Sometliing like this and nail it to his oor: The House of Friendship Would emply thy chalice of heart ache and pain Would freshen thy desert with flow. ers and rain, Would draw out the bitter and pour in the sweet And remove every stone from the way of thy feet, Would sing in the gladness of sume mer and bloom nd sing, sing out the sadness of winter and gloom, Would lotaen thy load by enlarging t ife, I would sing back repose and would sing away strife, A faithful friend is a strong dee fence. When openly or secretly assailed by an enemy, or when any danger threatens you, your friend will rush to your aid, regardless of personal danger. He will make your course his own, in the hours of dise tress and misery, the eves of every mortal turn to friendship, The House of Friendship, by the company.
