A Christmas Incident

TIT may have been because I had been
 Christmas cards from many friends for the past few days that the thought came to me; especially does it hinge about the reading of one Christmas card which bore the words of an old Fifteenth Cen tnry Carol, one of those simple little gems of poems that even the absurdity of the ancient spelling could not wholly efface-
 But at any rate the little old-fashioned carol told of the matchiess charm of the maiden mother to whom the Christ child came as silently and as sweetly as the dew in April falls upon the grass and flower and spray.
 Perhaps, as I said before because of this old-fashioned Fifteenth Century Caror' my mind was in an impression able mood. but any way. yesterday Christmas Eve-when I was on my way to town, where the Christmas spirit was radiant in the faces and hearts of the tlrongs in the streets, as the street car ] was on stopped at certain crossing, it who boarded the car carrying a precious bundle in her arms huddled up close and warm to her loving breast.
 Amid the many persons hurrying to enter the car, she caught the eye as some one distinctive. She was a young girl, light, graceful with a broad-brimmed hat that picturesquely shadowed her face, and, tightly clasped in her arms was baby swathered in white
 It must have been a quite young baby. because it was tiny and because the girl held it pressed closely to her bosom as one holding something infinitely precious. infinitely fragile. People instinctively made way for her. but she seemed uncon- scious of their nearness. Never did her eyes stray from the little slumbering form and never once did her arms relax that close embrace that held the infant to her heart.
 And when, having reached the end of

Mary j. Stilwell, and through the
kind-hearted efforts of this noble
woman and her workers who are de-
voting their whole lives to humani-
tartan service 1888 young girls were
cared for in the Salvation Army res
cue homes in the west last year.
No case is too sordid or too deep
for these women to handle. They do
not ask many questions when a girl
comes to them for refuge or is
turned over to them by the courts.
The only thing they know is that the
girl is in trouble and needs a friend
and in the Salvation Army workers
the girl does find a friend, not mere
ly friend for the time being, but
friend for the rest of her life.
The remarkable success that has
attended the Salvation Army officers
in this line of work is demonstrated
by the fact that the average percent
age of girls who are completely re-
formed and who give up entirely
their former mode of life is as high
as 80 to 80. This work of rescuing
the fallen and caring for the perish
ing is one that the Salvation Army
executives have always devoted con-
siderable care and attention. The
arms of mercy are always extended
to the girl in trouble, and experience
has shown that it is not long before
she commences to take a new inter
est in life and determines to become
a credit to society.
Extension of this work is one of
the main planks of the Salvation
Army 1920 home service program.
Operated as economically as possible,
the rescue home is one branch of the
Salvation Army activities that costs a
considerable sum each year to op-
crate. A considerable portion of the
1920 budget has been assigned for
the operation of these homes, and
with the erection of new buildings
and the purchase of others to be
used for this work, large amount
of money is required.
Only few days ago the COM
mandant of one of the Salvation
Army rescue homes in the west re-
ceived call for help. 1t came from
a country district where the happy
life of girl of Is years had been
darkened by despair The cry was
for sanctuary, an appeal for kindly
hands and motherly hearts to stand
by her in her hour Of misfortune and
need.
GO over and find this child and
bring her here" the commandant told
one Of her officers. The officer rode
SO miles from the county seat where
he was stationed, and brought the
girl in. Then he wrote to the com
mandant of the home
