FIVE POINTS MISSION

4 REVIEW OF TIE REPORT OF THE DlNECtOkS VI
THE FIVE POINTS HOUSE OF INDUSTRY, UNDER
THE CHARGE OF THE REV. l.. W. PE,sE.
Tie Ladies Home Missionary Society reluctantly
compelled to notice and reute the unjust and injurious mis-
representations Of the principles which have regulated their
operaons in conducting their Mission the Five Points
contained in the recent Report by the Directors OF the Five
Points House of Industry under the charge of the Rev
IL NJ Pease which hes been published in several news
papers They have read this Report with sorrow aud
would willingly avoid any controversy with tho Directors
who they learn ere gentlemen o. worth and consideration
in the community But duty to the public proper regard
for their own reputation and tho Interests Of the mission
they supernend demand OF them TO meet the e1igency
however painful TO their feelings
Before entering the Objectionable part of the report
we willingly accord the praise which is due to the predatory
remarks Of the document 1t is written with great ability
and gives graphic and truthful description Of the wretched
condition OF the destitute poor Of the Five Points and very
properly sscrbes many Of the vices which have produced
this ter bic state of things to causes which being nseps
rbe from the vicious associations the want and despas ia
which the miserable subjects Of them were born and
reared are really more their misfortune than their fault
and present additional claims upon the community tor
relief
tors with int ptiona wrong the unjust accusations they
bring against the ladies OF the Home Missionary Society
Ihey no doubt believe their own report; but We shall
have occasion to show that they have not carefully exam
ined the information given them by others Statements
are made in respect to circumstances and incidents wnch
occurred long before they connected win me House
of Industry and their creduy has been abused by some
one or more who possessed their confidence Nor do we
intend retsiae upon the directors or any one ese
ossang the institution they have under their superntend
ence There ought to be such antagonsm between me
two institutions, intended for the reformation OF the
population of the Five Points There IS room enough
for all personal and associate efforts of beneyoence
in this degraded region; and none should or would re-
ioc more than should these efforts abundanty
multiplied for can have more frequent ocular demon
Of
most destitute and vicious in their wretched abodes we
shall take up the charges preferred against us In inc report
as having been made by the directors only We are not
obliged 10 suppose Mr. Pease furnished the Information
the r. port does not say and have TO assume
it, We shall therefore cay nothing about Mr Tease sx
cept In regard matters in which the report refers 10 MN
in connection with the statements in regard to the LADIES
Home Mission Much Mr. Pease has Injured US we
must forget who has said "'engesheei' n'ne wi"
Xxi TO come at once to the Objectionable parts Of the
report We complain that the report IS eaie9,a1eu 70
msske the mpr scion the public, that the Rev ar
Pea originated and commenced the Mission az the rive
