mitted during the year, 63. Since
our organization, january 3, 1868,
we have received and cared-for 546
homeless ones-about 118 of these
have been children, either born in
the Institution or whose mothers
have been sick or friendless.
1t must not be assumed that,
among the socalled abandoned
classes there are only such to be
found as have always been accus-
toned to communicating influences
and bad surroundings. Not at all.
More than once, have our commit
tees found the woman of education,
who once enjoyed high social posi-
ton, and the purifying Influences Of
home and friends-an outcast from
society, feeling in her heart, GALL
HATE ME NONE CARE FOR MY SOUL -
sitting desolate in her dark abode,
with hungry, helpless children, -
clinging to mother, the victim of
strong drink ssthe demon rum, that
National fend, which seeks the ruin
of American prosperity and the dis
iutregration Of al Society,"" claims
not only the sons and brothers; but
the daughters of our land for VIC
TINS. For obvious reasons, we may
not give instances Of this kind in
detail; the living examples are, how
ever, not wanting-they walk up
right, as sEbrands plucked from the
burning thanking God that iber-
al hands and loving hearts sought
them in their hour of need, and,
by cheerful words and acts of kind
ness assured them there, still was
hope. To the fashionable wife or
daughter, we would say, could you
have seen the anguish and suffering
when the habit was traced back to
the fashionable, social glass, never
again on New Years day or On any
other occasion would you entertain
your friends by offering the poison
GUS cup, or, upon any account suf-
fer it to touch your own lips. This
is no fiction, and we ask you to con-
slider not only the dangerous inffu
ence you are exerting over your
gentlemen friends; but the possible
ty of yourself finding the depths
from which others have been res
cured.
On behalf the Board,
S. A. Lift DAVIS, President.
