that at no very distant day a well ordered home, where three meals a day
shall be served in a refined, orderly manner, shall not be so rare a
thing as it now is. We are more and more convinced that the home life of
these people must be changed, if they are ever to be what we want them
to be, and what, for the interests of our country and for the coming of
Christ's kingdom on earth, they must be.

And now I will close in the usual way by telling you some of our needs.

For the new boarding department, we shall need bedding of all kinds. I
especially want that each mattress shall be furnished with a quilted or
padded cover--that is, something as large as the mattress on top.
Towels, table linen and such things as are needed in every house are
always acceptable. If any one wants to furnish carpets for teacher's
rooms, we do not say them nay.
