VISITS OUR POOR HOUSE.

Miss Charlotte B. Forester,
of the State Board of Charities,
visited the Audrain County
Poor House recently; she is
likewise visiting the Poor
Farms of the other counties of
the State. Her visits have in
spired the following poem from
her pen:
| wandered into an almshouse,
And the sights I was forced to see'
Melted my heart with compassion,
And sorrow came over me.
I saw there dire degradation;
The sick were without proper care:
Living in filth that was awful,
Which in silence they had to bear.
We call this a Christian country;
But do we deserve the name,
While allowing our poor and delin-
quents
To live in want and in shame?
Our almshouse needs careful inspec'
ton,
Our jail and our prison too:
SO these dwellings might be at least
wholesome,
And what does this mean to your
'Tis true there are kindly matrons,
And men, who are doing their best,
To manage these "homes Of the out
cast"
And yet---were the truth confessed,
We would find them unskilled and un
practiced
Without the knowledge to feel
That their efforts are poor and untut
ored,
And far from a great'ideal
The sick are in want of good nursing
BY the skilled and tender hand
OF those who have made it their life
work.
Al DIOltSSlOu bONll lublN dllNA tllNA'
Their Cry is "Give to us nurses,
Trained in your hospital schools;
Not as you have in past decades,
Clumsy and crude human tools"
"Give us, too, good sanitation,
So we too may live like men;
Not like dumb beastsIof burden
Herded in stable or'pen.
Give us n chance for the sweetness
That you have had in your lives;
We too are husbands, sons, brothers,
Sisters, and mothers, and wives"
"How can this deed be Accomplishment
'Tis easy---but means sacrifice.
Are you willing to offer the ransomeF
Are you willing to pay the price?
List while tell you the secret
OF how you may alter our lott
1t is not difficult problem,
Tho its often quickly forgot"
"Send to us your Inspector;
She will see that things are made
right;
Give us a 1.-THE from your bounty,
And God will help you tonight.
Funds will be needed to help us.
Are you willing to give your share.
To gladden. the lone and down-trodder
Our burdens and trials to bear?'
''They tell us band of kind nurses
Are somewhere out in the world:
Whose mission is Care for the suffer
ing
Whose Banner of Love is unfurled.
All We, with the Christlike graces,
VIII We deafen your ears to oul
prayer
Or will We stand by and help us,
The blessings of God to share?"
''Did the Master not say, 'Ye hav,
clothed me,
And visited when | was i'll,
Ministered to Me in prison,
When hungry gave Me My fill?
And because We did it for the least on,
Ye have also done this to Me;
Then enter We in, My blessed,
Because We served these for Me-
And now have finished my message
May each one gladly respond,
And give of her life and her bounty,
To strengthen that human bond.
The bond that means Love thy neigh
bor,"
AS Christ taught in the days OF old,
"And your bread cast out on the
waters
VIII return back an hundred forL."
