The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-03-26

As for the kind of work accomplished by
this remarkable sisterhood, it is too varied
and extensive To be recorded in detail. There
are Tens that visit the sick. Tens that sup
ply the hospitals and homes with flowers,
Tens thatsupport foreign missionaries. Tens
that sing and Tens that sew, Tens that
endow beds in hospitals, Tens that provide
pleasant country homes for deserving poor,
and Tens that simply "bridle their tongue
and "endeavor to live in love and charity
with all men, all I'm His Name"
The cash girls in Macy's are known as
"the little doorkeepers," whose unique
motto is Lord, keep thou the door of my
mouth and there are Heartsease Tens of
little children who cultivate pansies for the
hospitals There are the Quiet Tens in
schools, and the Courteous Tens who claim
that kings Daughters should ever display
the manners of the COURT" the Old Maids
Tens of helpful unappropriated blessings,
and the Old Lady's Ten, whose youngest
member is more than so years old, and
whose oldest member donned the silver
cross on her Tooth birthday; the Faithful
Tens in guilds, the Lookup Tens in deaf
mutes' homes; and even in the Home for
Incurables the patients waiting for death
have organized themselves into Consider
ate Ten, who shall endeavor to make their
nurses laborS rs light as possible. One of
the young ladies' Tens in Boston sent loads
of sand to the tenement yards In the city
for poor children to play in, and the gradu-
ating class of fashionable boarding school
calling themselves the Continuing Ten have
adopted little girl, and intend to provide
for her and give her all the advantages of
culture and education which they have
received. Musical Tens of the most cultured
and gifted ladies In the city devote their
talents to the entertainment of the poor
and also, through their use in charitable
concerts, accumulate funds for the support
of various missions, thus bringing into use
the talent of the wealthy for the benefit of
the poor. t| ''
One of the Kings Daughters, Mrs. II. Fl.
Townsend of New York has built an annex
to Bellevue Hospital, called The Cottage, at
an expense of SIP 600, and other Daughters
of the King have furnished 1t with all the
luxurious appointments found in their own
beautiful homes. Carved in the stone walk
is the legend "ln His Name,n and when
Bishop Potter laid the cornerstone of the
building the trowel was decorated with a
purple ribbon, while the keys Of the build
ing, when delivered to the City Commission
ers, we're tied with the royal color.
A touching tribute was paid to Mrs.
Townsend by a little girl from the South
who had enjoyed the beautiful surround
ings SO kindly prepared for these charity
patients. When she was dying she asked
that the cross of the Kings Daughters
which she wore, together with a piece of
gold which she had earned writing "A little
story for st. Nicholas, might be given to
the kind lady who founded the hospital
The Kings Daughters are found in
greater numbers in the cities and larger
towns than in the rural districts, and in the
West and South they are more abundant
than in the East, owing TO the previous
establishment of Edward E. Hales Ten
Times One Clubs The rapid growth, har-
monious unity, ceaseless activity, varied
and unique charities, and sympathetic CO.
operation of this society are said to be I'M
paralleled in the history Of any organiza-
ton known Within two years it has girdled
the globe with the CLEAN of its silver crosses
I'm His Name"
