lated, but whose walls. are tastefully
decorated with many Bible quotations,
Is being carried on a work that COM
paratively few know little about. The
Scranton Rescue Mission, at Ill Frank
lin avenue, is doing religious work in
Scranton, second to no other like insti-
tuition in the city. Night after night,
men of all walks Of life wander into
this Mission, and there hear the word
of God preached in a practical and saw
Ing manner. Persons who do not attend
church, are constrained to come to the
Mission. There they are sure of a hearty
welcome, warm hand shake, and a
kind word. 1t would be an inspiration
to many of our church going popula-
tion, If they would just drop into this
Mission some evening, and see the
room filled with earnest listeners
1t might be of interest to some to
know that during the past three months
there were held 1OS meetings, attended
by 4,7l2 people. The management is
now contemplating the holding of out
door meetings each evening just prior
to the regular evening service in the
Mission ROOM This plan has been tried
In some of the largest cities, with graft
flying results. In addition to the re-
ligious features of the work. there are
regular lodgings furnished free of
charge to those who are in want, and
have no place but the station house in
which to pass the night. During the
past three months 1l9 free lodgings were
supplied by the Mission.
