Why must our own flesh and blood walk the streets unemployed, or be forced down to degradation at the expense of fos- tering these unwelcome people? If our sisters and daughters are not permitted to cross the thresholds of the mansions about us for bread in earth-life may God per- mit the portals of the hereaiter to open wide and admit one and all to be iuc_lged as the victims of circumstances. t is to the earnest efforts and noble work of the ladies who comprise the manage- ment of the California Training Home that we must look largely for the better- ment of this blot on a Christian commun- ity, and it is to be hoped that the philan- thropists of this City and State at large will financially recognize the earnest ap- peal of these ladies for aid to allow them to broaden their scope of action, which is s0 universally indorsed by the press and which will receive through the Globe Re- view its hearty support.—San Francisco Globe Review.
