A MERRITORIOUS
MISSION
We wonder how many peopK! In I

of good done by the local Lavinki I
Wallace Young Mission for Eskimo !
Children, under the supervision of j
Rev. arid Mrs. Baldwin—or the en- I

on charity and absolutely without
red tape it does one good to visit
this home where happiness and
bounding health are the dominant
keynotes. Smiling, happy, beam
ing faces in an orphanage.is it pos
sible, we ask. and what wonderful
form of management and care has so j
reversed the popular notion regard-J
ing such institutions.
In the first place there is not a
single worker at the Mission hut who
haH at heart the welfare of their |
charges; who is not anxious to see
these little waifs grow to become
useful people in the world. Money
cannot buy some of the services be
stowed upon these children; it must
of a necessity, be born of a loving
sympathy. •
The girls are taught sewing, darn- j
nig, knitting, cooking and general j
housekeeping, while the hoys are
Instructed in carpentry and such
other things as will be useful to]
them In later life. Do they show j
a particular aptitude or fondness for
bookH, and study, they are sent to
the famous Chemawa school in Ore
gon. or to the Mother’s Jewel Home
in Nebraska. In no point or way
are they restricted or kept down.
Through all these helpful teach
ings and instructions there is Incul
cated a sense of God; of a great Him
who watches over all nations with
equal care, and who tells them -f
the greatest force on Earth—Love.
Is it any wonder that these little tots,
at first suspicious and afraid, after
a few wreeks in these clean, bright
surroundings, run to meet their
white protectors with open arms,
confident of the welcome awaiting
The heads of the mission of which
ours is a branch, and the people of
Nome are to he congratulated on
such a man as the Rev. Baldwin,
and workers of such sterling ability
and kindness as are under his juris
diction .
There are 54 permanent residents
in the home here, ranging in age
from barely a year to hoys and gif*
or fifteen and sixteen. Miss Mary
Cochran, matron, quaintly describes
them as belonging to three classes,
”7 o’clocks." “8 o’clocks” and ”9
o’clocks"—meaning the hour at
which each class must to put to bed

leaving a score or more of orphaned
children in its wake; through vick
ness or death or native parmts a
child cannot be provided for; or
as s too often the case—a degener
ate white deserts ids native wife
and family. In no instance are
there gruelling questions asked—no |
third degree before a child can gain ■
admission Aid is given immedi-!
ately ahd indefinitely. If the native
parents can furnish a little seal or
reindeer meat, a fur garment or two,
or a part of the catch from his net,
it is cheerfully and thankfully ac
cepted; but it is not compulsory, nor
professed to be, and in no case is a
trace of favoritism ever shown.
Besides the subsistence already
mentioned as furnished by natives,
the little inhabitants of the mission
consume 100 barrels of flour and
25 barrels of cereals yearly. Two
tons or sugar and 55 cases of milk
are used in the same period. A
thousand dollars worth of foot-gear
Is worn out annually; 125 tons or
coal are burned to make their quar
ters comfortable. As a commer
cial asset alone the mission is
worthy of our heartiest support.
At the hospital across the wuy
there were 97 bed patients last year.
3 7 of which were white people.
Upwards of 1500 minor cases were
treated. Miss Bertha Saville, sup
erintendent, and Miss Inez Cochran,
nurse, are doing meritorious work
indeed and keeping well abreast of
the times In their treatment of pa
tients. A new electrlct sterilizer'
costing $1200.00 was sent In last
fall, and we have it from an authen-1
tic source that it is to form part of
the equipment of the new $10,000

the coming of the white man, and

and proper that ' e hand of the

of extermination from which they
were threatened, and the unselfish
sacrifice and devotion of those con
nected with this work of salvation
cannot be too highly commended.
