The Missionary society Of the Dia-
mond street church was the first ever
organized by Miss Bonifield. She ex.
pressed herself as most happy in hay
ing the privilege of meeting with them
again. In her address she pictured
most wildly the contrast between the
China of today and China as she found
it when she first went there twenty
six years ago.. Many of her converts
are now teachers in the schools Of
China. The need of concentrated eff
forts on the part of the American Mis-
sionary societies was fully brought out
by Miss Bonified and an urgent appeal
made for all to take part in the work.
All were deeply interested and many
questions we're asked by those present
regarding the work Of the missionary
in China. At the close of her address
a social hour was spent and refresh
ments served. Miss Bonifield recent.
ly completed a course in Bible school
work in New York and expects to sail
for China again about May 1. She

Now the program is worked out in full,

In the 80 schools where the plan has
been tried under the auspices Of the Asso--
citation for Improving the Condition OF
the Poor, equipment Is ready TO use and
the work can 20 forward at once. The
mere feeding of the children Is the least
important part OF the work. One sensible
meal dav Will not make healthy child.
The educational work accompanying the
luncheons IS the great point, from
public health and an AmerlcanIzatlon
standpoint The children can act as
medical missionaries, carrying health les

MAKE URGENT APPEAL
FOR BABIES HOSPITAL
Board of Managers Asks for As
sistance for Continued Use
fulness of Institution.

A most urgent appeal is made for the
further maintenance of the Babies
Hospital and Day Nursery. IL was
established in 1890 during the incIm-
beucy Of the late Bishop Coleman,
mostly through the efforts OF his wife.
At this time there are two institutions
under the same management ono for
white children up 10 the age Of three years
in the hospital at 2O7 and 200 Washing
ton street and children up to six and
seven years IN the kindergarten and
Day Nursery.
The other institution is for colored
children Of the same ages and the Hospital
and Day Nursery at 700 French street.
These Institutions are non-sectanan.
The Day Nursery IS surely well worth
any effort and money expended on IT,.
What better could be done for small
children, while the mothers arc working,
than to have them we'll cared for, fed
and taught bY trained nurses, rather
than be neglected at honc2
If the care Of the little ones, white and
col0red, is 70 continue II must be done
by voluntary contributions. II IS needieas
70 say how important orr request Tor
money is at this time owing to increased
living expenses. The work must con
tinue.
There is no other institution in the
State where a foundling can be or Is
cared for Many in the city may re-
member the infant found by one q our
faithful policemen in an ash barrel, left
there to die. It was taken to the Babies
Hospital at 2O7 Washington street,
cared for and later adopted into good
home
The Board of Managers would be glad
If anyone would wish 10 visit these
homes. They would become Interested
and If Interested would give.
