 The real suffering this winter" Major Dodd continued, has been among the re- spectacle working people, those that hide their suffering and accept it in silence rather than ask for charity. Of course the other type has been prominent in the public eye taking advantage of the sit- uation where sympathy and generosity were shown so nobly by those who are blessed with this worlds goods and who always respond when the time comes."
 Our work at the Industrial home is very interesting branch of the Salvation Army" Major Dodd said. At least, that is what most of our visitors tells US, be- cause it is living, vibrant, example of what can be done on practically nothing.
 If the people only knew of some of the remarkable cases that we have in the home, l think they would understand what their old cast off garments and debris means to us. We have some strik- ing examples of men who have found their way back into their own by living in the home and working with us. For instance, we have one man who came to us with his feet all lame and sore-frost

 MRS. E. F. A" Who said, 'I was helped;. therefore, help?" There is a question to be an- swered by the constituency. The truth of the saying is illustrated continually in the working of the H. H. C. Yet have I ever told here of the eastern apofogue of the reception" in heaven of the vir- tues, when the lord of the feast had to introduce two who had never met on earth? They were benevolence and grati- tude. Beloved constituents, l have abun- dant reason to be persuaded better things of you"

bitten, and he was unable to stand or do any sort of manual labor. He had lost heart: he was down and out. He has stayed with us now for four months and he is in good health and is happy to be doing something for himself and for us Another man, this one a dear old fellow Of S5 years, came to us He had to his credit varied and remarkable career. Born at sea, tossed about on life's high way always, he had practically seen ev- erything pertaining to the rough side Now he is happy and self sustaining in the home and one of the greatest addi- tions we have in our work. We have 12 men in the home who have been con verted-and in each case they have heen taken out of the very depths-the Slough Of Despond' and started on the right road A large part of Staff Captain Quirl's business is Investigating cases and finding out just what can be accomplished with people who apply to us."
 One thing in conclusion said Major Dodd. T hope the ladies of Birmingham will remember us when they have their spring cleaning this year. Any old cast off garments or shoes, or furniture or anything, in fact, we can utilize at the Industrial home and instead of throwing it in the trash barrels, if they will just let us know, we will be glad to call for it. It means nothing to them, but so much to all of us who are connected with the home.
