midnight
You wonder , Mr. O'Day , what those great masters in art could have done without the protection of the church . I wonder what the poor of to-day would do without their priests . Go up to 28th Street and look in at St. Barnabas 's . Its doors are open from before sunrise until near midnight . When you are in trouble , either hungry or hunted , and most of the poor are both , walk in and see what will happen . You 'll find that a priest in New York is everything from a policeman to a hospital nurse , and he is always on his job . When nobody else listens , he listens ; when nobody else helps , he holds out a hand .
