SHOWS WHAT CHURCHES
DO FOR LEPER COLONIES

". NJ. DanneF, secretary of the
American mission for lepers, made
two addresses here Wednesday, de-
plotting the bright as well as the pa
tiletic aspects of the typical Ieper col
ony.
In the Afternoon at 3.15 he spoke
before the missionary society of the
United Congrega tionai church, at
which Miss Margaret Campbell, the
president, conducted the meeting and
introduced the speaker In the eve
ming ct 730 he addressed public
meeting at the Central Baptist
church. His address gave. some idea
of what the Protestant church is do
ing for these poor outcasts, Ut home
and in foreign lands.
In these days OF s@2hiy orgahizea
charity, he said, we must help people
Who cannot help themselves, and the
case OF the lepers presents a most
| striking example of what may be
done.
Contrary to the general idea eAat
! l@prosy does not exist il our own
! country. there are in reality. over one
| thousand cases. Lepers arc sea tered
| all over the world. India, China, SoGth
| America and portions of Africa har-
| Dor the greatest number.
| When after much parieyinG, the
! senate Of the United States passed q
! bill allowing for $3.50, 900 TO build a
segregated place to accommodate all
| the lepers in America, the difficulty
! OF finding suitable location arose, as
nobody wanted sJcS a colony. Up to
date, howevar. the boards of health
| in Louisiana, CalifSrnia and Florida
have signified their Willingness 70 heip
by conducting & campaign, and the
problem OF housing these unfortu-
mates win doubtless soon tie settled.
