REPORTS OF A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR NOBLE WORK OF TOE FLORENCE CRITTENTON MISSION. Forty-Two Unfortunates Cared for at the Commodious nnd Comfort able Home At tho Annunl Meet ing Held Yesterday tho Offlcors Told of What Had Been Accom plished and Gave Statements of the Financial Standing Mrs. Thomas Dickson Elected President. The Florence Crlttentnn mission has been established In this city for sev eral years. There were those who scoffed nt Its organization, declaring that such an Institution would do no good. Others asserted that the pro moters would soon weary of u work so discouraging. But tho Florence mission still survives und not only that, but lives In Its own house, a commodious and comfortable home, beneath whoso shelter forty-two unfortunates havo been cared for In tho past year, aiany of the original patrons still continue nvuve wont nntl interest In Its behalf. It Is not a lovely work, often It has phases most repulsive todellcnte minds, most disheartening to even the most optimistic. Ignorance, vice nnd often crime have marred nnd warped the lives of those who are gathered Into this safe fold, but tho Florence mis sion has helped them and has come to stay. It refuses aid to no woman.what ever her fault, whatever her past, but for the past year It has sought chlelly the frail young girls who for soma misery in heart or home have begun to stray Into evil. Tho marvelous results of this blessed mission to their mis guided feet are dally being recorded. Yesterday the annual meeting of the organization wn held nt the mission on Harrison avenue, with a largo num ber of friends nnd visitors In nttend anco. No one present could fall to be moved and touched by the recital of the year's work. AN EXCELLENT ADDRESS, airs. J. L. Crawford presided. Her excellent address as president was a marked feature of progress in the con duct of affairs. In the opening exer cises, Rev. Richard Hlorns offered prayer, aiiss Jennie Reynolds gave the secretary's report of the year past, airs. Crawford then rend un admirably prepared address, which contained in formation and suggestions of great practical value. She spoke of tho In creasing assurance that the work was blessed of God and regretted that all the church people of the city had not yet been roused to a sense of Its Im portance. She told of tho kindness of business men, of grocers, marketmen, bakers and dealers In provisions In general, who by their timely gifts had enabled the management to continue the mission, and suggested that If but one cent n week were given by church members the debt on the building nnd support of the work would be guaran teed. In conclusion, she paid a high tribute to the superintendent, airs. Thomas, airs. Arja Williams then sub. mltted the following report of the treasurer, which was commented upon by the president as showing the econ omy practiced: .MRS.

French, aiiss Kstelle Yost, atlss Savape of the Young Women's Christian Association and Dr. Gullck. During the yi.ir forty-two gills and seven babies had been shelt ered, aluch of the work had been among incorrigible, young flirts from 13 to 10 whom their parents could nit control and mit of whom had gone far o-strny The results havo given cause for great I'lioouiMgenient as tbis particular class seenui to havo yield ed to the influence of tho mlsslm mHIi unexpected satisfaction to the man agement. MATTER OF METHOD. In speaking of methods, Mrs. Thomas said that the plan nnd iinlfoniily ben to not separate the it 'Hh"rs from their babies, but rather to find places for them with the little ines. In two years i.o Instance has .here been of such separation, but ther has been small dllllculiy In (Hiding r'hrift'i.iu homes for mother and child. Of thirteen girls out, with one excep tion, nil are still In communication with tho nilslson. Ten nre serving ncceptnbly In homes where their story Is known. All were outcasts ignored by relatives and friends. If the estlmato thnt It costs $1,000 to save a hmuI n the city church Is true, the result at the Flor ence mission may bo viewed with sat isfaction. The plan of keeping the girls longer In the mission is favored and the effect Is proving Its wisdom. AVhen they are finally plaoed as do mestics In homes, they are visited by matron and managers, nnd it Is tho exception whan they do not consult with them before clian;;liig placas or tailing nny important step. The death of one girl last winter was mentioned with a simple, direct pathos that gave an Intense effect to tho tragic story. The wonderful Improvement; noted since aiiss Yost has begun tln educational classes tit night was noted and the report closed with brief rcf donee to the caso of one Inmate who hap voluntarily left a life of luxury provided by a resident of this city end has como to the shelter of the mis sion to begin a new life apart from the dark sin of recent yen is.
