Excerpt from The Problem of the Churchless and Poor in Our Large Towns: With Special Reference to the Home Mission Work of the Church of Scotland Two reasons in particular have influenced the writer in devoting special attention to the problem of the Churchless and poor. The first, that the condition of the lapsed population is one which has now, and not a moment too soon, begun to attract public attention as a blot upon our Christian civilisation; the second, that, so far as he is aware, this subject has not yet been fully dealt with in its many-sided aspects by any previous writer. Some of those who are most competent to deal with it are prevented from doing so by want of leisure. Others seem to regard the solution of this problem as impracticable, and shrink from grappling with it in despair of final success.
