“THE UNAFRAID”
The Whitehaven Tuberculosis Sanatorium has a training school made up for
the most part of young men and women who have been cured of
tuberculosis, and who thus fit themselves to become workers against the
scourge. Under the title The Unafraid, William Warren Keller, former
secretary of the Child Labor Committee for western Pennsylvania, and
himself a man who, during the past year, has downed an incipient case of
tuberculosis, wrote some verses in congratulation of the last graduating
class. To quote two stanzas:
Resolved to a life full of service
To those who must suffer to breathe,
You added your strength to God’s purpose,
The finest to mankind bequeathed.
The indentured years now are finished,
Though scarred, bravely forth do you go,
To relieve and restore wounded brothers,
Driving out from their lives pain and woe.
MOTHERS AND INFANTS.
Primary object to aid a mother to keep her infant in her personal care
when without such help, usually temporary, she might be obliged to give
it up for adoption or to place it in an institution.
An unmarried mother is not refused if she loves her infant, and desires
to lead an upright life.
No institution connected with this work. Each applicant regarded as an
individual and assisted according to her needs.
We have been especially successful in caring for the unmarried.
Reports of our methods sent gratis. Requests for these from directors of
maternity hospitals welcomed.
Address: MISS L. FREEMAN CLARKE, 91 Mt. Vernon St., Boston, Mass.

districts, leaving Christian literature, also the Bible or portions of
the Scriptures. Its publications of leaflets, volumes and periodicals
