Docs your correspondent, IN. B. d. does
does Rev. Mr.. Tnttle, Of the City Missions,
do the 1.-TWO gentlemen connected with the
Young Mems Christian Association" know
that there is already, within the limits Of the
city Of Chicago, house Of refuge, an asylum,
Christian home, for unfortunate women, for
abandoned women, for women and girls who
long to be once more yi1tuous? 4 home, an
asylum, which is no experiment but tried
remedy, for all those ills and miseries which
sin and shame and prohigatc lite bring to the
victims Of social vice2
Hthose benevolent gentlemen are not really
act upon the knowledge which they possess,
and turn the streams Of christian charity
evoked BY the needful (God only knows how
needtul) appeal in your paper Of this morning,
into one broad deep channel which shall really
effect the reformation 50 much desired, in-
weakening the results and producing only i'm
perfect fruits. Let none Of the philanthropic
Of our city, OF any other city, Imagine that this
class Of un1DTtunates eau be cured By anything
less kind and coneoling than home, than By
living with sympathetic christian women; wo-
men, too, who have turned aside from all the
joys OF domestic, life to. heal the disgusting
moral sickness, to comfort the anguish and
minister to the infirnities of the unhappy be-
ings Whom society fears, and justly, to bring
in contact with private families. Through
their affections they have been ruined; through
their affections, under christian guidance, they
must be restored. No hirelfng matron can
heal tue aching ulcer, as no home~residing
mother or sister can with safety touch it.
Mr.. Editor, speak not only. from the very
deep OF my heart but from good kno wlcdge
and close observation Of the workings and sue
cess Of the "House of the Good Shepherd''
when call upon all City Missionaries, Minis
tiers at Large, upon all good christian people,
and especially upon all women reposing by the
mercy of Heaven, in virtnous homes, to direct
tltlr charitable aid to the enlargement, sup
port and al needfnl encouragement OF tic
House Of the Good Shepherd, OF Magdalen
Asylum; truly the house of the kindest OF
shepherds, truly the asylum Of the most peni-
tent Of heart broken Magda1ens, and for the
most shame-stricken outcast Of society. It is
an institution which always succeeds, has ii.
ways succeeded, will always succeed; and in
this city is accomplishing an amount of good
it efficient for every class of unfortunate NO
men and girls, from those who have taken but
one downward step, to those who have drained
to the dregs OF iufamy and prostitution.
For the love Of God, let Us have no sccts
and denominations in such business as this.
When a home has been already provided,
when the holy and devoted women are already
engaged in the work, and are trained and
pledged to its faithful fulalment, send Mere
and 70 then, the morally sick, and do not waste
time and money in waiting to build another.
Hundreds who might be aayed b5 sending
them nos0 to the House Of The Good Shepherd,
BY aiding aoD the necessities Of the devoted
women in charge Of it, will be lost, lost be.
yond al help, before the first stone will be
laid in the foundation Of Reform School for
Delinquent Girls. AWoMAN.
