THE CLEVELAND FLOWER MISSION.
From Good Tidings of November IS,
we take the following report of the
Flower Mission, conducted by Mrs.
Georgia Onread, under the auspices of
All Souls Church. Cleveland: Work be-
gun May 30. The last flowers were car
ried September 81. Distributions we're
made twice each week; greatest number
of bouquets given out in one day, 1913;
total number of bouquets carried to the
sick. 1,476; articles of clothing given,
As; tracts usually given only in answer
to inquiriee) 100; baskets Of fruit. A..
Besides these there we're given two and
half pounds of tea. bedstead and a
mattress. little sufferer was provided
with pair of new crutches, and an old
lady was made happy with pair of
glasses. Some pitDful cases we're found
by Mre. Onread and her helpers. Ore
old man has been in bed nine years; one
| who was regularly visited, has had rheu-
matism twenty-one years; another is
! blind, and all were mserably poor.
| Though the season Of flowers is past.
these persons ought not to be neglected.
| The work of the Mission has only just be
gun. That which has been done is just
enough to reveal the limitless opportu-
mites for doing good. Mrs. Onread de-
voted two balf-days of each week to this
labor of love, besides contributing some
money in cases of great need, and we are
| glad to know that she had the co-opera-
ton of pastor and members of the
church, the Woman's Alliance render
ing aid in repairing clothes. Flowers
were raised by Christian Unions in
neighboring towns. and the express COM
panies generously transported them
free of expense. We trust that this re-
port OF what our Cleveland church has
done to carry Joy and gladness to the
homes of the sick and needy poor in
that city may stimulate other churches
to engage in similar work, for the poor
we have with us always.
