By relating the stories of personal
instances she had known and the
sad history of many young girls who
had been broken women. broken in
spirit and in health, and how through
the aid of the Salvation army they
had again been brought back to the
Christian faith, was told by Mrs
Commissioner Estill in her lecture
on Broken Womanhood" at the
Presbyterian church last night. Mrs.
Estill has been engaged in Salvation
Army work in all parts of the world
in Africa, Europe and in America.
She has seen, hundreds of girls, ben
Gifted and made good women
through the assistance of the crgan-
ization she represents. Il
In one instance Mrs. Estill told OF
a little girl fourteen years of age,
who was left .motherless with the
care of the family on her hands. For
time she cared for the home, then
her father married again. The girl
left the home and, drifted away to
become a girl Of the streets. AT last
in desperation, she was about to take
her own life when the Salvation
army saved her and since that tirie
the girl has lived good clean life.
The Salvation army stands for the
welfare of all, there is no difference
between the rich and the poor girls
who may seek comfort and assist
ance there, the speaker sail. In
England, during the past thirty-two
years since the army first began
work there. $4,000 girls have re-
ceived aid at the homes and Of these
seventy five per cent were perma-
nently rescued. Mrs. Estill told a
touching story of one girl who was
not touched by the urgings to come
into the home until the matron show
ed her personal kindness ard an
interest in her welfare. This kind
ness and interest in each girl is a
part of the policy followed out at the
homes, the speaker said.
The question was often asked,
Mrs. Estill said, where do the girls
come FROM She said they came
chiefly, or in large measure at
least from the police and juvenile
courts. Little girls, twelve, thirteen
and fourteen years of age are often
taken to the maternity hospitals for
care. The average age, however, is
eighteen years. Often young women
from wealthy homes come to the Sal

Throughout the western part of
this country there are fifteen homes
that are maintained by the Salvation
army. In the past three years 3.476

and are now living good Christian
lives, 1.419 were sent home to their
parents and but seventy-six failed to
live better and profit by the assist
ance they received. Mrs. Estill
closed her address with an appeal
for assistance in the great work that
was being carried on.
Colonel Marshall, who had charge
of the meeting, stated that in Min
neapolis $4,000 had been raised for
the Salvation Army war work and
that he just received wire from St
Paul announcing that the $4,000
quota had been nearly two thousand
dollars oversubscribed. An Offering
for the work was taken up following
the, address by Mrs. Estill and near
ly $12 raised for the rescue home

( In addition to the address by Mrs.
Commissioner Estill, several fine vo-
