this one disease in the Hawaiian Islands,
while in the Philippines it has a corps
of trained physicians. to care for these
unfortunates.
LAS far as our mission to the lepers is
concerned, il is mainly engaged in sup

Japan, Siam, the Philippines, and Korea,
together with twenty homes for the I'M
tainted children Of leprous parents in
order to prevent the disease from being
transmitted from one generation to the
