Many have written of them. It is not the purpose of this study to give in any detail the problem of the redemption of the city, though we must sketch it in its broad outlines and consider something of its complexity. The primary purpose is to show the really notable progress of the last two or three decades: in the better understanding of the problem, in the better adaptation and higher efficiency of municipal government, in constructive charity, in the highly specialized ministry of various organizations, in the recogniton that there are forces unseen but tremendously felt which must be directed, and in the readjustment of the church to meet new conditions. Moreover, to show that this progress is an earnest of a brighter future, that while the force now attacking the city problems unaided can never win the victory, the initial success fully justifies a renewed and more vigorous attack.
