rave been far easier to slip back into the
a new name In some distant state or
country.
Frank Starr was not looking for an easy
job. His whole heart was aflame with a
desire to help those who had suffered as
he had suffered: to lead men out of the
darkness of ~wrongdoing into the light OF
right living.
He made no noise as he went along.
He shouted no message from high places.
nor ever boosted Of what he was doing.
Quietly, so quietly that to tens of thou
sands In his home city the news of his
death was the first news they aver had
of him. he worked with the human,
wrecks cast up on the friendly shores OF
the little harbor of hope. supervised by
him. and financed by a few men who felt
1T a privilege to invest some share of their
earnings in bettered lives.
In the years of his service $500 such
wrecks came into that harbor, and of this
number more than 80 per cent were refit-
ted for the journey and today are living
honest lives Of useful service.
Nothing that can be said will add to-
the tineness of his life. The c~ostliest and
largest of monuments would seem SMALL
beside a record OF so many lives turnedi
back into channels OF good citizenship
and righteous living. :,
But it is we'll for many a man and
woman to ponder the life OF Frank Starr.
1t is we'll for those who feel that their
lives have been failures to gain from this
life encouragement and fortitude.
Such a life is a blessing to any COM

Will ever come to know It.

WHAT N MAN DID

From the Philadelphia North American.
The text for this sermon is the life OF
Frank H.. Starr, superintendent of the
Home of Industry for Discharged Prison
ers, who died last Monday, early in the
morning.
That life was lived in two chapters.
The first chapter, of more than 40 years.
wal one of wrong living and crime. 1t led
to a cell in Sing Sing, where it was
blrought to a close by a few kline words
from a noble woman, Frances Willard.
Frank Starr never sought to hide or
excuse a single word of that chapter.
When he said II understand how you feel'
to a discharged prisoner brought under
MS care. he spoke literally.
III was on the road that is wide when
the light of the everlasting love OF Jesus
Christ cleft the darkness Of his ways
showed him the path to right living.
Then. with the wreck of his life all
around him." he began the second chap
In that higher birth finding a courage be-
side which deeds of daring on the field of
battle pale into mere co~mmonplaces, he
started to live for the benefit of those who,
having paid their debt to society. are still
treated by society as faithless debtors.
Started to fight the 'ironclad injustice
which refuses a fallen man another
chance"
Twenty-three years ago he led in the
founding of a home where discharged
prisoners would be helped back to useful
ness and the respect of their fellows. 1t
was not an easy work, as one may we'll
imagine. 1t was not an easy task for one
who had himself paid the price. 1t would
