radiate all forms Of temporal and
spiritual help to the families OF the

g. Rescue homes--for the rec1a-
nation of fallen women, or to pre-.
vent from falling, those who are
especially tempted. About IS percent
OF the girls passing through the
homes are permanently restored. In
many of these cases, which occur in
almost every township. II Is the first
and only offense. The girls are un-
welcome at home, and no agency has
done quite so well with this class OF
cases as the Salvation Army. They
take them before confinement, and
care for them three months after the
ersls-they find places where the
girls may work with the child, and
.ne rescue home becomes the new
nome to which they return, and where
they are always welcome. Many OF
them marry the fathers OF the babies
ana often other good men who are
appraised of the fact before mar
mage. The Salvation Army has also
helped to enforce support claims
AGAINST the fathers In many in

usually connect with the rescue
