that eighty-fve out of one hun
dred girls received into the home
out of the depths of shame and
ignorance, have been entirely re-
claimed and several have joined
the Home Mission Band Of train
ed workers and are doing grand
work for the Master.
A work which is being much
stressed just at present is a home
for immigrants at each Southern
port of entry where the foreign
ers who are pouring into our
country by thousands can be met
by helping hands and cared for
until they are settled. Surely
this is needed! Some one has
said that God saw that we
would not carry the gospel to all
the world, so he is sending all
the world to u.s." and we
must help them or be compel
led to acknowledge ourselves
Improbable servants. The lat
est of these immigrant homes
to be opened is at Calves
ton, Tex, and is named the Sam
Jones migrant Bureau, in honor
of our well-beloved evangelist,
who entered into his well-deserv-
ed rest two years ago.
We have an official organ,
"Our Homes" published at the
Methodist Publishing House,
Nashville, Tenn. monthly, which
gives news of our work, sugges-
tons and helps for work, pro-
grammes for monthly meetings,
and is pronounced by DR.. Strong,
r himself one of the most noted
workers for the uplift Of human
= ity in the world, to be the best
paper of the kind within his
2 knowledge; and he also pro-
nounces- our work one of the
t grandest being done in the Unit
r ed States today.
: In the North Carolina Confer
i, ence we have fifty-seven auxil-
!, liaries with 1913 members, but
! not as yet many young people

a seven parsonages, sent off thirty

Observation-Disclosures and thirty
), six visits to sick and strangers
n and assisted five hundred anC
d sixty-nine needy persons. We
a raised $3,050.58 for connectiona
