A NOBLE WORK.
Homefinding Society Does Great
Deal for Homeless and Needy Children.


Rev. J. Fl. Martin, representing the
Children IS Home Finding and Aid
Society Of Idaho has been in White
Bird few days during the past week
made an address in the M. E. church
Sunday morning concerning the needs
and the work accomplished by the
society.
The society is Observation-Disclosures
and non-partizan and is the only organ
ization for caring Tor needy, neglected,
homeless, founding and orphan children
in the state and the public needs to be
warned to be on the watch against any
individual using the claims of a needy
child as a means of obtaining money
for socalled homes which can have no
esteem only in the minds of those who
are seeking to line their own purses.
The northern district of the Idaho
society with its receiving home in Lew
iston, because of its excellent work is
becoming more and more in favor and
i
possible. In six and half years the
society has helped over 100 children
and the appeals for help are becoming
more numerous week by week.
During the first three months of the
early spring, the Lewiston home found
k3O homes for children and the work
has been continued since in the same
way TIE home at present is quite full
When the general public learns of these
facts they will be glad to donate to thu
unfortunate ones.
The needs of the society just nov
are funds, supplies, and homes and an,
communication addressed to s. B. Chas'
superintendent, Lewiston, Idaho, will b.
attended to at once. Those who ar
able to do so should visit the home Il
Lewiston. Mr.. Martin will be in Can
field next and will speak of the work o
the society there, sza
