THE CHILDREN, s HOME SOCIETY
OF West VirSfnia-What 1t IL and
What 1t Is Doing.

OF West Virsinia-What 1t IL and
What 1t Is Doing.
About five years ago the Children's
Home Society was organized in West
Virginia. Of all the plans to save the
wait children, the Children's Home
Society took the medal at the worlds
fair as being the most perfect system
ever organized.
The society is non-partisan and is
Observation-Disclosures. All parties and
churches meet in hearty cooperation
upon its principles to a the home
less children. The society was or
ganized at an opportune time-just
when the elemosynary institutions
were filed with sound minded and
able-bodied children and with those
of ripper age and those that were imbe-
Gle and invalid. Many of these insti-
tutions are yet congested with this
miscellaneous mass and reeking with
filth.
Everywhere in this State are to be
found children whose parents have
died and the near relatives in order
to save the children from such poor
houses have taken them into their
homes. They are neither clothed, fed
o trained properly.
No wonder that God would husband
a system that would take these waits
and place them in families where His
gospel message would reach them and
where, as his lambs, they would be
fed.
If God ''setteth the solitary in fami-
lies" is it not reasonable to expect
that for every homeless child there
should be a family wanting it? This
is the Lords way and it is the only
solution of the child question. The
older the State and the higher the de-
gree of refinement the more childless
homes are to be found. In New Jer-
sey there are four childless homes for
every homeless child. In West Vir-
ginia there are two homes wanting a
child for every homeless child.
This being true it is easily possible
to find a good home for every sound
child in the STAG.
Bishop Peterkin OF West Virginia,
wrote an endorsement of the society.
which was signed by every Protestant
clergyman in Parkersburg. saying that
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-03-21

the society is one OF the greatest
promise and Importance.
The society has been organized to
save the children upon a purely
Christian basis. A child is taken and
placed In a good Christian family on
ninety days trial. AT the end Of that
time, If the child and family suit, the
child may be adopted either by the
laws of the State or by a special con
tract.
Besides placing children in approx
ed homes the next commendable fea-
ture of the society is that it keeps
an oversight Of the child till it is Of
age, always reserving the right to re-
move the child if for good reasons it
believes the child is not trained
rightly.
Judge of our success when ninety
seven per cent. truly remain in the
homes where first placed.
Never was a benevolent society
held in such esteem as the Children's
Home Society.
There is no State money back of the
society. What it does is through the
willing contributions Of friends who
wish to hely save a child, soul and
body.
1t costs on an average $50 to place
a child and look after it till it is of
G Fifty dollars is a small consid-
Grafton when set alongside of a child
saved, soul and body.
In nearly every county in this State
the cost Of keeping a child in the poor
house is $1.25 per week and over that
in some of the counties. Some person
pays that tax each year as long as
the child remains there. What about
It's training and its future, with no
one t. love and care for it?
1t is just as great a blessing to place
a child in a good home by paying the
expense of placing as it is to take a
child in ones own home. In fact it
is the greatest monument one al
rear. A child saved from crime and
shame to-day will a V a host to-
morrow. Besides it is everyone's
moral duty to help if possible, Psalms
41:1-3, lisa. 58:6-12.
We take every sound minded and
bodied child from anywhere in the
State from those who will surrender
them to us without a cents cost from
those giving up the child. We pub
lish this because many think that be-
cause it costs us $50 to place a child,
the parties ~surrendering the child
must in some way provide for the ex-
penses. Now and then friends Of the
parties surrendering a child pay the
society the money to defray the ex-
penses of placing.
We remove the child just as far
from its surroundings al possible so
