A news item from Denver, Colorado, says:
Determined to learn at first hand where and how the homeless
and shivering men live who slept on the street, E. A. Brown,
cousin of President W. C. Brown, of the New York Central, and
himself independently rich, has been haunting the railroad and
stock-yards and the slums of Denver for weeks. Drest in shabby
and threadbare clothes, he has mingled with the unemployed and
shared their experiences. He will use this experience to aid in
securing the establishment of a municipal lodging-house, which
will shelter the homeless during the winter months.
This is the scientific method of the social student to-day. It was
first, however, the method of Christ. “He came to seek and to save that
which was lost.” (Text.)
(1739)
