WHAT AM I, THAT YOU CARE?
Department President Ellen M Putnam, Of New
York, in her excellent address before Department
Convention, gives this touching little incident un-
der the head Of Relief Work.:
lis IL not glorious thing to have work crowned
the following incident. which is doubtless only one
of many: "A member of our Order. while on her
way to organize Corps, entered a car where sat n
soldier. He was ill., careworn and wore the badge
of mourning. Moved by his surroundings she
ventured to address him in terms of sympathy.
His reply was What am ], that you carer When
she replied that the button he wore was sufficient
cause for her interest, he again asked What,
you to for such I2' Her silent but
eloquent answer was the display of our Recogni-
ton pin. With fearful eyes and uplifted hands he
exclaimed, God bless the Womans Relief
Corps!'"
CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE AT THE HOME.
Rev. ]. 8. Wrightnour, Pastor Of the First Bap-
fist Church, Xenia o., gives to the Ohio press his
personal commentator Of the fine moral and re-
Igous Influence pervadiEg the Ohio Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home under the superindency
OF Gen. Charles l.. Young, Superintendent and his
wife. Cora Day Young, Matron-in-Chief
He comments upon the fine Christian Endeavor
Society of $50, conducted by Mrs. Clark, wife of
the financial officer and its influence in developing
Christian character among the young people, and
then gives this pleasant picture of the 30 cottage
homes, each family, with matron in charge:
matrons. who are all, nearly all, earnest, faith
ful Christian women. As result of their consci-
entous prayerful work very many of the pupils
have this past Winter entered upon the Christian
life. In the family life of the cottages, morning
and evening prayers and faithful study of the
Bible have been the constant rule. In but very
few families children brought under such pure
and faithful Christian influences and teachings
at the Home. The deep religious and spiritual
work that has been in progress there recently has
not been known to many, and the writer felt it his
duty and privilege to bear witness to his knowl
edge of 1t.
