Abstracts 235 - 239<br />
CHILDREN (Cont'd)<br />
What is to be done? Every hour in the ci ty is a prison which is seal ing<br />
such young offenders to a life of infamy and disgrace. The ragged school<br />
gives some of them instructions on Sunday, and Satan the remaining six<br />
days of the week. Some have no parents - are proud and will not beg, and<br />
think it is with them to steal or starve." (9)<br />

CHURCHES & SECTS<br />
236 - L Feb. 4; ed: 3/2 - Although the weather is bi tterly cold there has<br />
been a good attendance at the different churches. The air within the<br />
churches, though, felt the same as out of doors.<br />

237 - L Mar. 15; ed:2/2 - Much has been said and written about the various<br />
religious denominations in this country. Their wealth and resources are<br />
but imperfectly known. In truth, people place money before God. People<br />
are always in a hurry. They work fast, eat fast, and worship fast. There<br />
are 20 religious sects in America without considering the Mormon or the<br />
Chinese Buddhist, and 36,000 places of worship. The most numerous sects<br />
are the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian.<br />
The smallest denomination is the Swedenborgian. The richest is the<br />
Methodist.<br />
"It is absurd to suppose that any religious denomination can, through<br />
agencies of its money, overturn our liberties, as the richest of them<br />
possess less than one seven hundredth of the aggregate wealth of the<br />
country." (16)<br />
