Text Appearing Before Image:
who mould andcreate public sentiment, or who lead and direct rules ofpublic conduct, be able to reach such an altitude in socialpurity, and to bring with them the masses of humanity, itmight be that we should then find but little need forcharitable lying-in asylums. It may not be our mission, to seek even to mitigate theevils, the results of which throw upon our hands, likethe ever-returning tides, the victims of these faults of ourcivilization, faults which we can neither reach nor remedy,and it is our duty to palliate and relieve that suffering andmisery, of which we are the conscious yet powerless wit-nesses and confidants. The constant and recurring causes, the terrible wrongs,the whole chapter of betrayals and awakenings seem as il-limitable and unchanging as the flowing of a mighty river:the volume increases rather than diminishes, and we standat the mouth, appalled at its remorseless currents, and reachout our hands to such as are driven by its onrushing, to-succor and to save.
Text Appearing After Image:
33 But are we doing our whole duty in averting the causes ?So long as young women are untaught in trades, occupa-tions or fields of honorable labor—so long as they are help-less in the struggle of the battle of life in our great cities,we must expect that they will become victims of misplacedconfidence, and the dupes of artful intrigue, followed bythat awful catastrophe in the life of a young woman, whichour institution is designed to relieve. Society has seen fit to place the ineffaceable stigma uponthe face of the woman in the cases that come to us, and tolet the man escape any such retribution as falls to herlot. The Spirit of the Master may and doubtless will jus-tify us in averting from many a poor, erring one, thiscruel and remorseless fate, by hiding from society theidentity, and leaving open a gate through which, byrepentance, the soul may again come into safety and repose. Surely if. under our system of practical education andtraining, we can save even now and then only one
