1T Is positively inspiring to see those
little children at work and play; to
watch the care that is taken of the lit
tie ones in the day nursery and see the
way in which the teachers of the set
tlement are training those children in
cleanliness Christianity and other
things that go to make them useful
men and women in the world. l do
not see how a woman could look upon
the scenes at Wesley House, realize
how much good the settlement is doing,
and fail to become an enthusiastic sup
porter Of missions"
