appalling congestion in living conditions.

"People are already living on certain portions of Manhattan Island
at a density which, if continued throughout the entire city, would
give New York a population of 197,372,635."

There is, on the other hand, the isolation and neglect of large
groups of people who are uninformed of sanitation and have only
precarious access to medical attendance, and whose needs call
insistently for help, as well as constitute a menace to the health
of these communities; such are found among Alaskans, Indians,
Mexicans, and others.

As the enlarging view of spiritual regeneration has come to include
the redemption of the environment so that it shall be an aid to
better living instead of an almost insupportable hindrance, so
also a newer and infinitely greater scope is daily coming to the
realm of healing science--that of prevention of disease and stamping
out of scourges rather than merely the healing of individuals after
disease has claimed them.

This wider vision of physical regeneration, Home Missions is seeking
earnestly to promote, that the better day for which humanity yearns
may be hastened, when His Kingdom will come on earth.
