ENLARGE SCOPE
Of RELIEF WORK
Picture Machine Outfit Is to Be
Used by Rev. New.
cnmh
comb.

About two years ago a certain
friend of MT. Newcomb, living in Bis
marck, suggested the value of trav-
cling about the state with. a picture
machine outfit for the purpose OF IL
Illustrating the work of the Society
For the Friendless in it's educational
department. At the same time this
gentleman started the fund with a
generous contribution. Other friends
over the state also took some "good-
will stock" in the project till suft1-
cient sum was raised to justify Supt.
Newcomb to begin making purchases.
Not only complete machine, but the
films and slides, also, are included in
the purchase. It is confidently believ-
ed this new project will prove a de-
cided contribution to the work Of
prevention which is carried on by
the society. Mr.. NeWcomb is al
ready arranging engagements. lie
will also make special engagements
where schools, clubs and other or
CARNATIONS desire a special program.
Prison Work.
Despite this being the quiet season
for our state, the prisoners aid de-
partment has been able to find posi-
tions for several men upon release.

Recently the superintendent received
a letter from one Of the boys stat
ing his trials and finally his tri-
umphs after once more breathing the
air of liberty. In his first try-out he
met three persons who knew he had
been "out there" and, his courage
failing him, he boarded the train for
new place, where he succeeded, af-
ter a month of "odd jobs" in getting
a position for which he is profession
ally fitted. This young man is prod
uct of the society's Christian Endeav-
or work at the penitentiary. In his
letter he says: II am glad to say
God has been with me and wonder
fully provided for me. am living a
Christian life to the best Of my abil.
ity, praying daily with my trust in
Him." In closing, he added, II shall
always appreciate what you have
done for me-"
