Purity Industrial Home.

Being Erected in Connection With the Collegiate Institute at Marionville, Mo.

Superintendent, Chas. A. Mitchell, Na-
tional White Cross lecturer.

This school is 28 years old, has had 1800
students within her walls and has turned
out 190 graduates.

This movement is caused by the belief that
the greatest curse in America today is se-
cret vice, that very little has been done to
counteract it and that the boy is not much
to blame. He is not told the truth in a pure
way but is allowed to pick up his informa-
tion in a very hurtful way.

THE PURITY FEATURE

Consists, first, in taking a pledge against
whiskey, tobacco, profanity and ob-
scenity; second, reading a book on
purity; third ,attending lectures on the
subject; fourth, daily Bible reading
and attendance at family prayer; fifth, a
consecrated woman for matron; sixth, the
most helpful religious, temperance, hy-
gienic and purity literature being kept in
the reading room; seventh, special interest
to be taken in each boy on the line of per-
sonal purity.

THE INDUSTRIAL FEATURE

Provides work for those who cannot pay
their way. It consists in wood cutting,
ditch digging, work on the buildings, and
also in the

BROOM FACTORY

which has been established, and is turning
out the finest grades of brooms.

Last year 25 students received help.

THE BOYS' HOME.

Will be an $8,000 building, 40x60, two sto-
ries and a half and basement, finished with
pressed brick and heated with hot water.
To have sitting room, reading room, bath
rooms, office, besides dining room, kitchen
and bed rooms. It is being pushed as fast
as means permit.

The brick walls are now pu[t]. We desire
to inclos[e] before cold weather.

We need $1,000 for the roof, windows,
and doors before Christmas.

THE GIRLS' HOME

Has not been named yet, although the
fund has been started. Anyone donating
$1,000 can name the hall, if they wish, or
we will name it if they prefer. We would
like to call it "Willard Hall," for Miss
Francis E. Willard.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

Of $60, enough to pay the board of one
boy for the school year, have been started.
Each contributor either agrees to pay a
certain amount each year for five years or
donates any amount at any time towards
such scholarships as he may choose. This
money hires boys to work, while the pro-
fits from their labor increases the fund.

ROLL OF HONOR.

Each person contributing $1 or more has
his name printed in a permanent roll of
honor and preserved in the archives of the
institution.

OUR FOUNDATION

is faith — absolute faith in the Bible; un-
swerving faith in God and in salvation
through Christ.

Pray for the movement. Pray for us that
we may have wisdom and strength to carry
on the work. Pray that friends of the
cause may be raised up all over the land
who will sacrifice if need be to help the
work along.
