CHILDREN AT HOME
Children are taken in the Mercy home
at any age, and they are kept there until
they are either given homes by being
adopted or until they finish their edu-
cations and are fitted to earn a liveli-
mood for themselves. Many of the girls
reared in the Mercy home and given low
ing care by Mother Ramsay. the rna-
iron at the home, are now holding SPLEEN
did positions in the business world; some
are teaching school and others have
married and are making home for
themselves.
<'Of course. we are always glad to see
cur girls and boys" said Mrs. Margaret
Ramsay recently, in speaking of the in
stitution, and l was never happier in
my life than on recent visit of one
OF our very own boys. I had just re-
turned from a shopping expedition and
noticed stalwart soldier standing in the
hallway. I didn't knw him at first, but

VISITS OLD HOME
Early in the war he had enlisted and
had gone through the trials and hard
ships of war with credit and honor to
his country and himself, and one of the
first things he did when he got back
was to visit his old home. The next day
ne came back bringing a soldier friend
with him, and he asked permission to
take him up to the boys dormitory so
he might show his friend where he lived
when boy at the Mercy home. My
qualification knew bounds, for | was
SO glad to See the big man who had once
been one of our little boys"
There are 50 children in the home at
the present time and every effort is
made by Mother Ramsay and her as
sistant Miss Beulah Knighton, to make
the Mercy home as much home as is
possible to these little children until they
are able to go out and work for them
selves
The larger children are sent to the
public schools, while Miss Kate Rumph

ticularly the comforts of life, which some
of us so thoroughly enjoy.
The Mercy home is calling upon you

worthy cause could not be better ex-
emplified than by a willing hand
stretched forth to. help some of Birming-

The amount asked for is very small in
comparison to the good it will do. and
