the tenement district and back again.  Surely, any Christian church-member is as willing to endure fatigue, and sacrifice, and to give as much time to help make men and women better, as he is to have a good time himself.  Think for a moment what this move which I propose would mean to the life of this town, and to our Christian growth.  At present we go to church.  We listen to a good choir, we go home again, we have a pleasant Sunday-school, we are all comfortable and well clothed here; we enjoy our services, we are not disturbed by the sight of disagreeable or uncongenial people.  But is that Christianity?  Where do the service and the self-denial and the working for men’s souls come in?  Ah, my dear brothers and sisters, what is this church really doing for the salvation of men in this place?  Is it Christianity to have a comfortable church and go to it once or twice a week to enjoy nice music and listen to preaching, and then go home to a good dinner, and that is about all?  What have we sacrificed?  What have we denied ourselves?  What have we done to show the poor or the sinful that we care anything for their souls, or that Christianity is anything but a comfortable, select religion for those who can afford the good things of the world?  What has the church in Milton done to make the working-man here feel that it is an institution that throbs with the brotherhood of man?  But suppose we actually move our church down there and then go there ourselves weekdays and Sundays to work for the uplift of immortal beings.  Shall we not then have the satisfaction of knowing that we are at least trying to do something more than enjoy our church all by ourselves?  Shall we not be able to hope that we have at least attempted to obey the spirit of our sacrificing Lord, who commanded His disciples to go and disciple the nations?  It seems to me that the plan is a Christian plan.  If the churches in this neighborhood were not so numerous, if the circumstances were different, it might not be wise or necessary to do what I propose.  But as the facts are, I solemnly believe that this church has an opportunity before it to show Milton and the other churches and the world, that it is willing to do an unusual thing that it has within it the spirit of complete willingness to reach and lift up mankind in the way that will do it best and most speedily.  If individuals are commanded to sacrifice and endure for Christ’s sake and the kingdom’s, I do not know why organizations should not do the same.  And in this instance something on a large scale, something that represents large sacrifice, something that will convince the people of the love of man for man, is the only thing that will strike deep enough into the problem of the tenement district in Milton to begin to solve it in any satisfactory or Christian way.
