This  was  done  in  one  of  our  towns.  Every  church  pooled  its
interests,  secured  the  services  of  a  capable  leader,  and  carried
on  work  for  foreigners  on  a  broad,  Christian  basis.  Whenever
the  leader  wanted  an  assistant,  he  appealed  to  the  committee
representing  the  churches,  and  immeoliately  the  man  or  woman
was  furnished.  Classes,  lectures,  clubs,  sewing  and  cooking
schools  were  organized,  and  meetings  planned,  where  the  foreign-
and  the  home-born  met  in  Christian  fellowship.  This  leader  was
capable  and  wise.  An  unsympathetic  agent  succeeded  in
breaking  up  one  of  his  sewing  classes  by  playing  upon  the  mem-
bers' fears  of  the  fires  of  Gehenna;  but  he  got  them  all  back  by
saying  that  on  the  following  Saturday  he  would  give  each  pupil
a  carnation.  Flowers  were  a  greater  attraction  than  the  fear  of
hell  fire.  That  will  always  be  the  case  if  the  hand  which  gives
the  flower  has  back  of  it  a  heart  that  loves  the  foreigner.
