At n meeting recently held In tho city temporary officers were elected nnd arrangements wcro mado for n canvass for raising funds for tho erection of a suttabln building. This meeting was attended by representa tives of tho eoveral churches and a number of tho lodges. Every person In attendanco was very much In ear nest nnd there seemed to them to bo but llttlo doubt that the funds could be secured. Tho work of canvassing for this fund Is to begin August 1 and is to be under the direction of H. Isaac, nn experienced mission worker. He will bo assisted by five or seven cit izens of Med ford. Canvassing For Fund What tho peoplo directing tho mission proposo to do with tht hearty co-operation of tcdford. peo ple and organizations Is as written by ono interested as follews: First Adopt a method which shall furnish an adequato test of sin cerity, help tho worthy to help them selves, help those who cannot help themselves, preserve self-respect in both giver and receiver, show the way to permanent betterment, which shall consider the whole man, which shall bring tho greatest philanthro pic agencies Into direct contact with tho real need without overlapping and waste, which shall bo self-sustaining when once properly Inaugu rated and which withal shall bo prompt and kind. The rian Beginning with facts demonstrat ed by paBt experience In social serv ice, it Is proposed to either buy or build ft houso and fit same for the purpose with shower bath, fumigat ing room, dormitory, rest and read ing room, kitchen, pantry, small hall for services, office and annex for girls; clothes room, where all cloth ing, shoes, etc, arc sorted, kept clean and ready to wear; a large garden outsldo of city and a small Industry connected with tho work in order to furnish work for thoso re ceiving help and do not want to re ceive charity. Securo free water, light and gas sc as to eliminate all financial bur dens when once started: Incorporate the Institution and deed the prop erty to tho trustees chosen by the people. How (lie Men Are Handled When a man comes Into the placo he Is met with a friendly handshake and kind work, his namo and occu pation is secured as far as possible, he is then directed to wash and get ready for meal, composed of plain food, well cooked, and water or but termilk to drink. After supper a family gathering takes place, led by a trained worker, when each man ls given a copy of some portion of tho Scriptures, generally the Gos pel of John, all read In turn and a kind advlco Is given In love. At bed tlmo each man is given a bath, cloan gown and cot and his clothes placed In proper placo over night, and In case of any vermin they are burned nnd roplaccd In the morning. Once Inside the placo In tho evening no man Is allowed to leave until morn ing, thus avoiding any dangor of hold-up or robbery. After breakfast thoso who want work are supplied. If possible, by tho freo labor bureau In connection. In caso no work is de sired ho Is kindly informed to move on, as sheltor for one night only is furnished to transients. I'rovo His Sincerity When a -man Iibb proven to bo sin core, as far aa can bo Judged from his record, ho is Introduced to tho people and becomes a useful mom bor of society to mako good before tho whole city. The annex will bo used for tho unfortunates of tho white slave traf fic, also those without liomo or frlond, and will bo carefully kept by u trained matron; homes found whore a chance to regain a grip up on llfo nnd mako good. Tho work of the wholo houso will bo dono by thoso desiring to remain in ordor to gain strength nnd thoro aro plenty of such always on hand; no ono is paid but tho onos directing. What aro the peoplo to do with tho man at tho door? Tickets Aro Furnished A ticket is furnished, ton for $1.

Names can bo furnished. City council, lodges, business men, commercial club, W. C. T. U.,, churches, young people's organizations, etc., would llko to help tho poor downcast, helpless nnd unfortunate. Wo found this true last winter In our relief work, which was well dono as far as the means and accommodation afforded, but wo found by experience that such an In stitution wns much needed. All .Not ItotxH- Let us remember thnt all the men who npocnl for holp In such places nro not hoboes, thieves and crooks. We found that 75 per cent had trades, after handling over G000 last winter, many of whom belonged to some of tho best lodges, churches and clubs, but met with, misfortune In business or otherwise, nnd were too Independent to appeal to any plnce, but came to tho mission, wns helped and mado good. True, wo found some who proved false, but they were few compared with those desiring to mako good. Ono caso in our own state a boy left bis widowed mother and was ap proached by a worker, resulting in his return home, nnd a letter fromj tho Joyful mother proves his return nnd ho Is making good ever slnco. Another man separated from his wife and three children was returned and is making good ovcry day. Who is wolcorao? Everybody, re gardless of creed, color or language. No partiality is shown, nil arc treat ed alike and given the same chance. In good shape by furnishing tho needy parties with Just what they need clothes nnd shoos to tit nnd ready to wear, right proportion of foodstuff and fuel If necessary, med ical nld and nursing In case of sick ncsa. A Suitors Klielterv When n man Ih established ho Is Introduced to tho church of hto choice, nnd becomes n useful mem ber, because ho Is taught to work nnd render to others tho same ns ho received, nnd ns a rule such men kmnko tho ery best workers phen properly trained. Testimonies both personal and In writing can bo pro duced by tho thousands that such Institutions nro n perfect success when properly conducted by trained nnd experienced men and women who devote their lives to the cause. This Is a place where the city can bo relieved of tho tramp, hobo and destltude problem, thus diminish the fear of robberies nnd hold-ups, whom charitable, and benevolent organiza tions can direct a brother or sister to bo tnken cnio of In every way worthy of their love and pay for somo it they deslro to help. Churches can work together In their charities and feel thnt their poor aro cared for In first clnss shape. Tho young peo ple's organizations can find a place to Join In active service. And nil can unite in a grand dem onstration of true, sane. Intelligent, kind and adequate charity and broth erhood. WIN you help?
