Only one church in the South Georgia Conference asked for aid and so proud were the Georgians of this good record that the delegation promised that the Conference Society would help the weak church in their conference and let some less prosperous conference have the benefit of the donation.

 It was stated by Mrs. Eddy that the Home was in fine financial condition, but without the aid of the Board could not meet the demands, constantly made for admission. The Home is doing a great work for girls, who in their characters formative state are nut under Christian and healthy in- fiuence.
 She closed by sayipg-"If homes like this are maintained you won't have to be constantly building rescue homes.
 Mrs. Blassengame also made plea for the acceptance of the home and highly complimented the work. and laid stress on the industrial features,
 Miss Bennett cautioned the Board to look carefully into the proposition be- fore accepting the Home. She said she realized the worth of the Home. but told the members to go slow. She ad- vised that if the Home was accepted, the industrial feature should be push ed. Girls don't want to cook; they don't want to learn housework, they want to be stenographers and trained nurses. She spoke of the cost of the industrial work and said that when a girl was sent to the Home, she should be supported by those that send her there. Clothes should be provided, not once but during her entire stay there.
 She closed by again urging caution. Before passing on the question, the members knelt and asked Divine guid- ance in the matter.
 The report was adopted.
