With this month closes the 3rd quarter
of the fiscal year OF this organization. A
great need now is an increased member
ship. that money may be in its treasury
to meet the demands for its various re-
ligious and philai,thropic enterprises.
my people perish from lack OF knowl-
edge" says Holy Writ, and to bring to
the women of the church the knowledge
of this work, with it's, wide scope Of
Christian activity, is the object and aim
ofthe Literary Department. Eachmonth;
through the secular and religious press,

1t is difficult to limit Christian charity,
and t,fis nionth we have encouraging re-
ports Of progress in
THE RESCUE HOME AND TRAINING SCHOOL.
This work is located at Dallas, Texas.
The property is valued at SIS, 900 and
owes mere, perhaps, to the financial
ability, zeal and Christian love of the
Superintendent, Mrs. W. H. johnson;
than TO any other individual. The build
ings and income are not sufficient to
meet the demands upon the department,
and Mrs. Johnson has developed plan
to raise the necessary funds. She calls
fot Christian women everywhere to take
shares in Stock Company to secure
$4,000. These shares are $1.00 each;
and will yield greater and surer divi-
dend than any stock company in the
world, perhaps, can promise. How many
will try this plan and make this invest
ment?
AN INvHsrIcATIoN.
This Home has helped to save 700 girls
in the few years Of its existence, and put
into Christian homes 400 infants. This
is Christ-like work, but it must grieve
the Christ Spirit that 1000 girls have
been turned from its doors because there
was NO ROOM to shelter them. Il this
not enough to rouse the, sleeping daugh-
terra of case and luxury? "Woe to. them
that are at case in Zion" Christian
women Of Our prosperous land, will our
Christhold us guiltless when we with
hold our help from this tireless woman
who pleadingly calls on US for these un-
fortunate souls which have been drawn
into the maelstrom of sin, and yet reach
out piteous hands for. help from thdse
who profess to love and follow the Christ
who lifted up the fallen and turned
mercifnl ear to them.
ADVANCEMENT.
To increase the income Of the Home,
Miss Hartman, who was trained i'll the
Moody Bible School and is thoroughly
furnished unto every good work." has
opeued a Bazaar down In the city. In
one department of the Home there are
skillful teachers who instruct the girls in
millinery, dress making and fine needle
work; also in cooking and house work:
Under Miss Hartman they have al, tip
to.date millinery and dress making estab-
lishment; where they also have for sale
light bread, beaten biscuit. cakes, ETC.,
the work of the girls in the Home. This
serves double purpose-it adds to the
income of the institution end fits the
girls for profitable and useful vocation,
SO when left to provide for themselves
they are lifted above the temptation Of
helplessness and hopeless poverty.
GENERAL WORK.
We may not further itemize the work
Of the H. M. S. In all departments ad-
vance has been made in the past few
months. In educational work a fine
school property in the mountains Of
North Carolina, free from debt, has been
turned over to the control of the Board
and becomes a power for good. This is
partly due to the consecrated energy and
zeal of the President Of the Board, Miss
Belle Bennett who 10 widely Known, and
whose name will 60 down in the history
OF the church as one who has accom-
plished wondrous things in the maine Of
Christianity.
Nj. Fobcrmau, Of Los Angeles, Cal.
has increased his gift to the Deaconess'
Home of'that city, to the amount of
$7,5OO. This will be wonderful want
age ground for the H. M. work, and will
furnish trained leaders for city mission
work, settlement homes, etc.
