but vicious and criminal associates speak words
OF sympathy to his soul, and who would saw. or
have the fantest expectation, that child thu.
exposed and tempted would not be drawn y nh.
in the awful whirlpool of criminaty aud ruin.
Thus, from the above suggestions We can see
where the interesting and paying FIELD of philan.
thropy is, viz: to 60 to the homes Q, the wretch.
ed, search out the cause of the evil. seek to re.
move this evil, light up these homes of dispair
with rays OF light and hope
| Make these homes what they should be. and
and YOU thereby STAY the rapid tide Of crime.
and wipe out the foul blots which vice has made
| in the world
This field OF philanthropy is near 10 the door
of all who have heart for the work. "Te tha:
reapeih receiveth wages; he that converteth q
sinner from the error of his ways. saves thereby
a soul from death and hides a multitude of sins "
