GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1911

WRITES TO FRIENDS

LETTER TO REPORTER AND REPUBLICAN FROM WELL KNOWN HANCOCK COUNTY EVAN­

GELIST AND TRAVELER.

TELLS OF NEW YORK SCENES

Holding Meetings in East, Among Adirondacks, the Alleghenies, and Sky Scrapers at New

York Vivid Descriptions and Hot Shots.

The following letter from Rev. John T. Hatfield, the noted Hancock county evangelist, who is holding a number of tent meetings in the East, will be read with interest by our people, as it is written in Mr. Hatfield's pointed and vivid manner:

According to promise that I ma^e one of the reporters of the Greenfield Republican, who requested me to send them in a little report of some of my travels, I will sketch off a few lines for the benefit of the readers who are not privileged to do much traveling. I left home June 28th to fill an engagement of five camp meetings in so many states. My first camp meeting was at Wilmington, N. Y., ten miles from the railroad, among the Adirondack mountains, right at the foot of old "White Face," supposed to be one among the highest mountains in the range, about one mile high. From its summit, I am told, you can see into 400 bodies of water, into many states and Canada. Its thickets are inhabited with much wild game, bear and deer and smaller animals. Here is one of the places where they gather gum from the balsam trees that delights some of our young people to sit and chew in time of meeting, wiien the minister is trying to preach the Gospel, and I dare say you would not need a microscope to see a lot of gray hairs on some of their heads. This was the hottest ten days I ever spent in one place at one time. The mercury stood at 110. It was too hot to swreat, it evaporated as soon as it reached the surface. I speak only for myself, but to the surprise of all, wre were favored with an excellent meeting. There were over 100 seekers that claimed conversion or sanctification.

My next meeting was at Hughesville, Pa., about 500 miles southeast of Wilmington. I had a through train the most of the time, but not to the place I was going. I would not ride far until the conductor would inform me that I would have to change cars. It reminded me of some of the folks who are continually jumping out of one church into another. Well, I suppose they will get through all right. I did, but I had to make nine changes before I got there, the most I ever made in one trip in all my thirty years' travels. This brought me to another chain of mountains, the Alleghenies. Here I met a new set of people, all strangers. I had never seen one of them before, but I felt as much at home as if I had lived with them all my life. They were members of different churches and some members of none. They all spoke the language of Canaan, and were all members of the same family. Both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all one. (Heb. 2-11.) It was not so warm here. We had a great deal of rain. Fortunately it came at a time when it did hot effect the meetings. Some of the leaders were a little conservative. They had been brought up Quakers, under the old Philadelphia rule. At first they could not understand the "Old Hoosier" in his intensity to push them to greater activities, but in a few days we got matters adjusted, and the fire began to fall and we closed up with great victory, with many saved and the devil getting a good licking.

From here we left for Portsmouth, R. I., via Philadelphia and New York City, having a few days ahead, and I stopped off at New York City for a little rest. I put up at the Broadway Central Hotel, the place where Jim Fisk was shot some years ago. I had been in the city before, but every time I was in a hurry, but this time I was at leisure, so I took in the city. My first visit was among the bontons, on Fifth Avenue and on Riverside Drive, where the millionaires have their homes interspersed with hightoned flats, and where cheap aristocracy spend all their earnings in trying to swell with the moneyed sharks, which is certainly a very down hill business. I was at U. S. Grant's tomb and other places of interest, but time and space forbid an elaborate detail. The hext trip

was on South Broadway and vicinity, taking in the sky-scraper district, where there are more tall buildings than anywhere else in the svorld. The tallest of them is about 700 feet high, making about fifty stories. It is right in here where Wall street is situated, the financial center of the country. Wall Street, the name wrhich is synonymous with securities, stocks, bonds and shares, trust certificates, gold, money, investment, speculation, fortune, ruin. Just at the head of this street is an old primitive church with the steeple on the wrong end. It has been there for over a century and is now used as a mission. It is an old-timer, and it's the only church that has ever been able to stand and face Wall Street. At the other end of the street, or near by, is the Bowery, Mulberry Bend and Five Points, well known for its crimes, shame and poverty. A natural consequence for the sucker that nibbles at the bait in the pool on Wall Street. The next trip was the night scenes in the slums, the Jewish and Hungarian districts, and Chinatown. Here is wfhere your heart is made to ache. I could not refrain from weeping. The scenes of that night still haunt my memory. Oh, how thankful that I was born where there was Christian influence. If I could have done any good, I would have been so glad to reach out my hand and help to raise up some of these unfortunate creatures of God's creation. I felt like I would help some of these poor souls, but it seemed that I was powerless to accomplish much. It's a slow process, but it can be done in the name of our Christ. Talk about going to foreign countries! There are 1,000 foreigners coming this way to one missionary going that way. How these places need some holy men and women to bring the Gospel to these foreigners right under our own noses. The streets are narrow and filthy and filled with prattling children from 2 years old and up. No place for them except in the streets or in the house. The roofs of the houses and fire escapes are covered with sleepers at night. The walls are lined up and down the fire escapes with people sleeping on them. How they ever live, I can't tell you. Down in this district they say there is one child born every nine minutes, and up among the aristocracy there is one born about every six months. The only thing I could see running around the aristocratic portion was a big, high

iron fence. In many of the big flats a child is not allowed. I was in some of the opium dens in Chinatown. They were laying around like dead people under the influence of the drug.

My next trip was around Manhattan Island, in a steam yacht, a trip of twenty-five miles. I passed under four big steel bridges that cost each from 12 to 20 million dollars. Passed through East River hill gate, and by many islands, where the city has homes, hostelries, old folks' homes, insane asylums, feeble minded institutes, pen-. itentiaries, reform schools, con-1 sumptive hospitals and hospitals1 for contagious diseases. What a lovely place out in the sea on these islands for such people.
