with the disease, hut dwelling securely in home

fortunate than they. Across the street from
this home. in a few hired rooms, several male
sufferers from cancer, who have better resource
than the temporary quarters provided by Us at
the will Of fellow tenants, either TO remain be
set adrift An unkind spirit has caused
the most groteSque falsehoods to be fabricated
about these afflicted men, and has twice summoned
the Board Of Health by statements utterly un-
founded. Although the Board Of Health has only
praise to give upon investigation, the necessity Of
finding real home for male patients is ap-
parent. and the moment has come to urge with
persistent prayer the gift of such harbor of
fort and peace. Men have eagerly given money for
a home for cancerous women Will not women gen

heavy and they look for fraternal mercy. Yours
