Door of Hope Mission.

A petition is being circulated by
the Hope Mission people today,
with a view to raising funds for
the purchase of tent for out door
work this summer. The vast
amount of good accomplished by
this mission entities the aforesaid
petition to a careful consideration
of our people, An idea of the
extent of good which the Door of
Hope Mission is doing may be
cleaned in the following figures:
During the past six years and six
months they show having reclaimed
33 erring girls; having saved 900
souls; given 5000 meals to the
hungry and destitute and given shell
ter from the cold on winter nights
to 5000 homeless men and boys.
OF course all this has not transpir-
ed in Ardmore, but this town is
furnishing its share.
