Merry, merry Christmas? . God Ble by remoy own. is the boun ter a8 Her in her work for humanity has has written an article on Maud Ballington Booth, who found that the prisons need her most “Prison-Shadowed Homes.” Mra. Booth, known in every prison In the land as “Little Mother,” telis her story simply, with mo dramatic or literary effect; but the bald, dare, gaunt facts, eat Im upon the consciousness, and bring one to a sense of realization that for every prisoner in penitentiary or fall there awaits on the outside a suffering, stricken family-—moth ers and fathers, bent by age and shame; brothers and sisters who cannot forget the shadows over the household, and most of all, the wives and the little children. These are the innocent ones aceursed, from whom soctety, to pro tect itself, must take away the breadwinner. Christmas, particularly, is a sad, difficult time to these people, who are thrust far from the circles of happiness and good society into the outskirts and slums of life, Winning the confidence of a man inside the walls, Mra, Booth next attempts to locate those near and dear to him, and if they are in need, as is most often the case, she assists them in practical fashion to clothes and work. At Christmas she sends warm dresses for the children and a few toys, and tries to instill courage and hope again in the despondent families. She shows the family that better times are ahead for them, and she shows the prisoner he yet may be a man among men ‘The practical humanity of Mrs Booth's work cannot be overesti- mated, for she takes the desperate, the despondent, the stricken and turns them toward the light of hope and happter days. hh ts not charity this wise woman with the shining face dixpenses so fresty; ft is love! Love full, free and abundant, love of God and lore of fol fowman. And as Christmas comes many a prayer from prison and tene- ment will go up for the “Little Mother,” attesting to her loving kind- Ress and practical care. PYTTTTTT TT tte eee ee aa . - . & ST, P.
