Taken 20 Push Forward the Noble
Work.
A mass meeting Of ladies and ministers
of the different religious denominations in
the city was held in McKendree Church,
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, for
the purpose of organizing an association to
establish a house of refuge for fsllen
women.
Judge John NJ. Lea was called to the
chair and Rev. DR.. j. w. HCyte appointed
secretary. On taking the chair Judge Lea
briefly explained the object Of the meet
ing.
DR.. Kelly made stirring appeal in be-
half Of the enterprise, and was followed
by DR.. HOyte, who made some feeling re
marks, strongly urging that steps be taken
TO rescue from degradation this wretched
class OF society.
Considerable discussion arose relative to
the exclusive character Of the institution,
the charter having been asked for the pro-
lection of fallen women alone. 1t was az
gued that a great many INDECENT women
had made application for a home in the in
stitutiOn, who were not Of the peculiar
class provided for, but who would be
branded as such by entering the institution
in its present exclusive character.
IL was recommended that a more liberal
provision, admitting other paupers, would
be blessing to such, besides rendering the
institution more respectable in itself, and
offering to the fallen themselves an addi-
tiOnal inducement to escape to a place
where their disgrace would not be so con-
spicuOus. II would also save TO the churches
ard community thousands Of dollars an
nually thrown away on paapers, eneOurag-
ing them in laZineSs and filth.
It was proposed TO try the experiment
with the charter as it now stands and if, af-
ter trial,it was deemed expedient to have it
amended, it could be done.
After the transaction of further business
looking TO the permanent organization Of
the Association, number Of committees
were appointed, and the meeting adjourned.
The following committee was appoint
ed to complete the number Of incorpOrators
of the association:
Mrs. Felicia G. Porter, Presbyterian;
Mrs. DIR. BEDFORD, Methodist; Mrs. Shank
land, Baptist; Mrs. Henri Weber, Episco-
