The Omaha Christian Help mission, a
charity with which the public is not thor
oughly acquainted, has prepared a report of
the work done during the last year in order
that it's worth may be better appreciated.
The enterprise is under the direction Of A.
S. Baird and is located at 1913 Burt street.
During the past year the mission has dis
bursed IS OO0 being 5000 more than receipts
from all sources. The deficiency, Mr. Baird
states, has been made good by the super
intendent of the mission personally. During
last winter eighty destitute persons were
maintained in whole or part through the ef-
forts of the mission.
The purpose of the mission is to offer ap-
plicants both material and spiritual help
and, although the funds at hand have been
limited. it is stated that no one has been
sent away in need. When those seeking aid
are physically able they are expected to
show a willingness to work and are fur
nished employment. Those able are charged
10 cents for bed. Before retiring each
lodger is required to take a bath
and the beds are thus kept scrupulously
clean. The quilts and mattresses are treated
to semi weekly fumigation There are now
fourteen sanitary beds in the mission do
mated by churches throughout the state at
an expense of about $40 each.

The number OF shooting stars is, CT course,

Spiritual Aid is Onered.

The real object of the mission workers is
to offer spiritual aid to those with whom
they come in contact after the physical
needs have been provided for Services are
held at O'Clock in the morning for those
who have spent the night at the mission, at
3 o'clock in the afternoon and again at s
in the evening
The expenses OF the home have been con-
fined to a surprisingly economical basis.
The only salaries paid are those to the cook
and baker, who each receive 81 per week.
The superintendent and his associates give
their time without remuneration. Only
$50 worth OF material was received from the
city last year and the balance of the ex-
pense was met by private contributions.
Gifts OF clothing and ether articles, partic-
ularly canned goods and coal, are also as
welcome money. The public is invited
to inspect the mission. and those who wish
may purchase coupons which will be honored
for food or lodging by any person TO whom
they may be given. By this course the public
may guard against impositions from un-
worthy mendcants.
