The first speaker was Capt. T. w
Patton, of Asheville. "How shall we dc
prison work?" he asked. First Of al
be convinced of its necessity. Do not
put it above all other work, but give il
a place among the other branches of the
work. 1t would be we'll if a man could
be found in each chapter who would
give his special attention to this work.
Christ cured the leper, something tina
science has not been able to accomplish
There is a disease-the disease Of crime
I-among us very much like leprosy, with
its communicating influence. The only
way to cure it is like the cure Christ
applied to leprosy. 1t must be cured
through the touch of the spirit Of the
Son Of God. We must do it through the
rules Of service of the Brotherhood. Visit
those in prison, attend to the needs Of the
sick, show your interest, your sympathy
in these fallen men and women Dc
what you can to relieve suffering, always
insisting on strict obedience to prison
rules; have wrongs righted if you can
but do not try to interfere in the admin
istration of justice"
"How to do mission work, was dis
cussed by Mr.. Chas. F. McKesson, OF
Morganton. He answered the question
thus: "The only way to do mission work
is to work and to keep at it.
