Mother Jaynes. of Delaware made
an earnest appeal for more charitable
consideration for the unfortunate and
fallen women OF today in her address
delivered in the interests of the Home
Missionary work at the Trinity Bap-
ST church Sunday afternoon.
The text was taken from the ele-
venth verse Of the 1Stn chapter of st.
Matthew which reads For the Son
OF Man is come to save that which is
lost" II am glad that the Lord has
said that whosoever cometh unto him
he will not cast out said the speaker.
II have been asked what is the use
Of working to save the lost and un-
fortunate women who want to be lost.
Since 1896 my life has been given to
this work and during that time | have
ccme In contact with nearly every
kind of women and I want to say right
here they can he saved.
~ have come this afternoon to
plead for the unfortunate and fallen
women aud do not speak of the men
although their soul is just as prec-
ious i'm the sight of God" Mother
Jaynes spoke of those who are in
clincd to shirl< their duty in church
andilinissionary work and pace the
burden on the shoulders of others.
1--WE should not forget that we are alt
w1tchmcn; that there is something
for each of us to do and that we are
Sinking our duty when we look to
g.. a ttfl lftl tts
pcctcd of us.
"Thc shepherd looks 60 the safety of
his sheep and II is likewise our duty
to uplirt the fallen. The common inn
preston that they do not desire help
Is mistake.
"Do you know that there are three
hundred thousand unfUru1lte and
fallen Nomen in the world today? If
we have three hundred thousand fall
Ion women we have that many men,"
The Speaker criticized women and
placed the greater blame upon them FOR
the disfavor N which the unfortunate
aud fallen Of her sex are bed today.
The national inclination of the masses
Is to Uphold und encourage the fallen
man and to cast down the girl who
never IN de "A mistake In her life un-
Ill she met the man who caused ner
downfall. r. want. to say right here
" hcnevcr you see man or woman
who has started on the downward path
try and help them up"
"Mothcr" Jaynes, while strict he
lever In temperance does not consider
liquor as the greatest factor In the
running OF the lives of young girls and
stated that man girls know nothing
ot liquor until they nave been trapped
She laid particu ar stress on the re-
sponsibilty resting upon every man
and woman in the world. Five thou
sand mother's daughters are filing un-
known graves every thirty days and
we each have personal work to do
don't know low conditions are IN
Marion but Relieve If / were to stay
here for two days I would find severa
girls"
The speaker warned the girl who Is
tempted to go to the city and dec.in-
ed to sanction opinion of those who
contend that the girl in the country
Is exempt from present day dangers
1T is the country that Is feeding the
cities one-half aand If there are any
girls in this audience who want to 50
to a larger city, don't go."
The speaker contends that the par
ents are to blame I'm many instances
for the awful conditions existing IL
the social world and champions an
era Of closer relationship between par.
cnt and child. The anguish of th'
child in later years and the outcry
NJ. my parents had only warned me
are frequent results of the negligenc,
on the part of The parents whose falls
pride causes them 10 refrain from
conhding with their children.
Mother Jaynes advocated hom,
for fallen girls in Siarion, a place o
refuge for girls coming from the ju
venie courts and stranded girls wh'
come here from other cities. In speak
ing of the work In eighty of sucl
homes throughout the United State
she declared that from seventy-hv
to eighty per cent OF the girls thereil
are saved and lead to hive noble an,
useful lives.
