for help, ready to give each and every
one her strength and support and as
ready to see and help a stranger as
the oldest habitue of the settlement.
Jane Addams occupies a peculiar po­
sition in the public eye. She has no
religious creed or, if she has, she does
not thrust it on her people. AU sorts
of doctrines are preached in HuU
House but Miss Addams permits this
through the fact that her generosity
of spirit is big enough to allow every
one his own opinion. She is regarded
with the highest esteem by officials of
the city and is frequently asked to ad­
dress large meetings. When she does
this she to listened to with strict at­

Miss Addams Is a brilliant example
of a woman who, having all in life
has not permitted herself to be satis­
fied with her lot While others have suf­
fered. She has devoted time, money
and all the energy in her big self to
the uplifting of the lowly, to the spirit­
ual welfare of the poor when that
could be done through kindness alone
and to the bodily comfort and enjoy­
ment of these people by giving them
