Angeles; Benedict Hotel for Young Women, Boston, and a number of
cheaper-class hotels for women in New York, Chicago, and Boston;
these all supply a clean, comfortable bed, with good moral
surroundings, kindly sympathy, and religious services. In New
York and other large cities day nurseries have been opened in
connection with some slum posts; here mothers bring their
children to be cared for during the day, while they are out at
work earning the wages upon which the family depend for
existence. There are more than 100 rescue homes located in
leading cities of the world, and more than 7,000 fallen women
were taken care of during the last year.

Farm colonies have also been established, and fresh-air camps
are organized for summer outings. In the summer ice is furnished
to the needy of the tenements; in winter, coal.

Who can estimate the good done by this noble army? How their
efforts help to cast gleams of sunshine into the desolate hearts
and homes of the needy. In civilization, religious and
sociological reforms the Salvation Army is doing a magnificent
work.
