A Foreign City in America

THE Italian-speaking population of New York City is greater by more than 86,000 than the population of Rome: 549,444 persons in New York City report their native language as that of Italy; Rome, according to the last census, has a population of 462,783. The persons in New York City reporting German as their native tongue number 841,889, equal to the combined population of Munich and Hanover. Other nationalities, of course, are very liberally represented.
One has only to go through the foreign settlements of our great cities to be impressed with the fact that the very world has been brought to our doors. We believe that this has been done in the good providence of the Lord. For these different nationalities earnest labor should be put forth. Among them will be found many who will receive with gladness the message for this generation, and who in turn will become light bearers to their own countrymen at home.
