THE CHILDREN'S HOME
Origin, Growth and Good Work of
the Society.

The Childrens Home society owes
its beginning to a happy thought
born in the heart of Presbyterian
minister in the year 1888, and like
all small beginnings which have for
their object the betterment of nu.
manity, has so enlarged and develop.
ed until now there are twenty.six
state organizations confederated into
one vast league. working in harmony
for the uplifting and saving OF the
homeless and destitute children OF
our country, who. through no fault
Of their own, have been robbed Of
their birthrIght.
It's annual expenditures amount to
more than 100000, while permanent
homes are found for more than 1000
children in the same period.
Nearly every city, village and ham
let has its local board, composed Of
some OF the best people in the COM
munity, both in the church and out,
whose duty 1t Is to look after the in
terests Of the homeless children I'M
der their jurisdiction.
A few Of their duties are as fol-
lows:
/. Placing In the receiving homes
the forsaken and homeless little
ones, given to them through legal
measures, who, after a short period
there, are placed in families Of good
repute and of sufficient financial
standing 10 insure them the i'm.
munities of a we'll regulated home.
Many of these homes have not pre-.
viously known the sweet prattle and
ringing laughter Of children, while
others have known. loved and lost,
yet the heart-hunger remains, and 1t
is into these homes the children fnl
a haven OF rest awaiting them.
2. To procure homes In the COM
munity In which the board Is lccat-
ed and / would emphasize the fact
that more than forty children have
found permanent homes IN our own
city and county since its organiza.
ton.
Q. To collect money and clothing
for the receiving homes, wherever
located, as 1t is a purely philanthropy

Of llfes purpose, and in perseverance
alone could she see success. The
young lady believed in the choice OF
q suitable vocation, but once tho
choice was made, patience and persc-
verance alone could fulfill the pur.
pose in life In illustration she saw
life a broad river bearing human YES
sels to the seas Of eternity, and saw
need of firm navigator TO bring the
vessels safe to the proper port.
Because of a severe cold from which
the young lady suffered so greatly
that her retirement from the platform
and the attendance OF physician
was necessltated before the close Of
the exercises, Miss Eva Burton's
thoughtful grafton upon Stability Of
Character" was read by Miss Fay
Lister. Miss Burton took the posi-
ton that In the making Of mar, char
acter was all important. She found
that character was moulded by the
events Of our lives and that often the
greatest sorrows and agonieB pro,
duced the perfect character. Charac.
ter, she found the one permanent
reality OF life, the one factor in tho
men who had done things for which
the world was grateful. The young
man going into the world, she said,
with an unimpeachable character,
could never suffer defeat.

was the subject Of the Grafton by
Rev. N. J. HASTE, which followed
Miss Pitkin's delightful solo, "Ecsta'

and forceful preachment for a thor

the qualities Of manhood by education.
