Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Herodians, or Slaughterers of Innocents
With the money derived from the sale of this book, if the amount is sufficient to even make a beginning, and I feel sure it will be, I intend to build a large home and throw its doors open to motherless or homeless girls, and. If they cannot secure em ployment all the time, or get sick, they will have a home where there is a woman in it that will try to be a mother to every girl that comes under her roof, and will try to in?uence them to strive for the best and highest to be obtained in a Christian life. I know that God is with me in this work, and all my life so far He has been preparing me for this mission. A great many people placed in the same condition I am would sit down and grieve over their trials and troubles. Not so with me. In all my trials and troubles, and they have been many and grievous, God has given me grace sufficient to see my faults and understand the lesson implied.
My heart always aches when I see little girls left motherless and the father with slender means, as is so often the case. Usually then the home is broken up, the little girls drift from post to pillar, brought in contact with varied in?uences, and it is very hard for them to attain very high standards in life.
