night. to forsake her life of sin. she put
the question to him. Where can l go?
Who will give shelter to such as I?'
The Scranton city mission was es-
tablished i'm September, 1893, and
though only two and half years
old, more than ahundred g,rls and We
men have been given shelter during
that period. 1t may surprise many
Christian workers to know that this
mission, which is intended to care for
fallen women alone, has been called
upon again and again to shelter home-
less women who could find no other
refuge from the streets and houses Of
infamy and whose only excuse for the
necessity was their poverty and inabil-
ity to pay for food and lodging else
where. This should be q plea for a
home for the Young WOman's Christian
Association, whose legitimate work this
Is. If space or wisdom would permit,
many very interesting and hopeful
reformations in the mission coud be
noted. Many can and do testify to the
fact that they have been rede emed to q
better life while within it's walls. One
is singing Gods praises before the
throne; two dear young girls are fitting
themselves for missionary work; some
have married; some have been restored
to loving friends, and others still are
living upright Christian lives in honor
able service. Not all have been re-
deemed. but the better life has been
made possible to all. Keen has been
the disappointment as some have fallen
to the wayside. but who can tell what
the harvest shall be?
No fallen girl in our city or sur
rounding towns can say. "No one hath
cared for my soul" Especially in pre-
ventive work among the young have
good results been achieved. The pres
ent home is wholly inadequate to its
needs, and the managers hope in the
near future that the liberality Of our
citizens will make 1t possible to locate
In a permanent home, better adart tel 10
the work. The mission is sustained en-
tirely by voluntary contributions and
membership fees, having no other
means upon which to depend, as is
enormously believed by some. The
work has sustained great loss in the
death of Mrs. Saxton, who gave her
time and strength, as matron. without
compensation; also in the enforced re-
tiremeDt of the ASST tant matron, Miss
Sarah Johnson, by i'll health

Hangi, president.
Mrs. Swartz is now engaged in drill
ing four classes in the Loyal Legion
manuals, a class, that Is. in each legion
already named. Every member OF
these Loyal Legions is obliged to sign
the pledge against alcoholic drinks, to-
bacco and swearing. Thus ii will read
lily be seen what u power for good citi-
zenship these Loyal Legions will be in
the future. This is some small part of
the preventive work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Then. too. the generous hearts OF
these women have been stirred to SYM
p2thy with the railroad men who,
standing daily at the throttle and the
brake, have little time and sometimes
less inclination to attend divine service
and to hear the word. but who per-
chance may snatch q moment at the en-
gine or in the caboose to catch a text
or read tract. With this thought in
mind, the able superintendents of this
department, Mrs. Field and Mrs.
Wright, with the kindly permission and
of Superintendent w. +. Hallstead
have endeavored TO have every pas
senger, freight or coal train carry with
1t Gods holy word. Almost every ca
boose is equipped with a wall pocket
furnished with Bible and with tenn
perance literature.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has also placed Bibles and tenn
perance literature in every railroad
station. has prepared personal letters.
and had them printed. to shop and
street car men. Thousands of pages of
literature are distributed in this way
~ I No
last year the superintendents. assisted
by Miss Raub, the superintendent Of
the flower mission, distributed to the
railroad men thousands of bouquets
tied with white ribbon, with a text of
scripture concealed among the dainty
blossoms. Arrangements are being
made for the observance of the same
custom this year. This means much la
Dor and many Journeys to and fro In
dirty car shops and among oily wheels,
but while we scatter flowers over the
graves of the soldier dead. should we
not honor those who live and die in
Are they not heroes?
Have they not died
Under the engines, side by side?
Have, they not stood by throttle and
brake
And gone down to death for their pas
sengers' sake?
Thus is briefly outlined some small
portion of the work done by the local
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and while but little rift within the
rill, in conjunction with all the efforts
made by women for the betterment of
the human race, must tell largely for
good in the future, not only of our city
but of our nation.

BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN.

What lies beyond the mountain? Z?
leagues of land,
Broken and barren, arid wastes Of
sand,
Where One. aforetime, smote with
wrathful hand?
A weary place of deserts wild and wide,
Where men, athirst, the meagre
streams beside.
Fall down and drink and die unsatis-
fled?
Nay. Wherefore hurt our hearts with
harsh surmise?
Beyond the mountains misty summit
lies
A land that holds hint of Paradise.
Fen as the Prophet gazed, we gaze
upon
Our fields of promise, evermore with
Vague, indistinct and distant as the
A fair. far land, along whose valleys
sweet
Only in dreams we pass with winged
feet.
Only in dreams we pluck its fruits and
eat.
Only in dreams, with happy hearts we
go
The land about. where shining waters
And all year through the royal roses
blow.
Here, forms the FROST and yet we keep
our hope,
Assured that all the mountains thith-
er slope,
Is sweet with thyme and fragrant hell
OtrOpe.
Not there, as here, falls down the sud-
den snow.
Not there. as here, with faces. whiten-
Men die in dread of what they may not
know.
We call 1t Good" this world our hopes
have made,
Beyond the hills, where, as the fair
years fade.
Men live and pass, serene and un-
afraid.
And yet If, haply, casting loose our
dreams,
We walked in very deed, beside its
Would life prove more complete than,
here, 1t seems?
Sated with sweets, might we not yearn
in vain.
For some swift draught of bitterness
again?
For some high joy whose price was
sweat and pain?
Wherefore. hold 1t fair and just and
meet,
That while our bright blood burns, our
strong hearts beat,
We strive our strife and run with rest
less feet.
Wringing from pain some respite, some
relief,
Wrestling our JOY from out the grippe of
grief,
Despite the thistle binding, we'll, the
sheaf.
Nor wholly sad that, Of that land afar,
Vague, indistinct and distant as a star,
None, ever. seeking, finds the gate ajar.
