Dear Friend: V\ Our home is now a little over a year w •Id. In March, 1914, we had but one a< boy, Sahu To-day we have fourteen, of We could haTe taken three more during fi the past two weeks, if we had had li: money for their support. m We are well situated in a large, airy tl house, well up from the heat and dirt n: cf the eity. Our building, with running M water, ahbwer bath, gas, electricity, and C cleanliness, is quite a contrast to the ai one-room rough stone cabins from which m moat of the boys come;; and they are 8 very proud of it. For the first time in their lives they learn what neatness, 1< system, and soap-and-water mean. Here h ' they have a bed and a Uble; in their b homes they eat and sleep on the floor, p Here we have windows and chimneys; h in their homes the one door usually o serves both for admitting light and let- a ting out smoke. * Among our boys we have but one c Arab. The other thirteen are Kabylea. f The Kabylea are the people of moun- b tainous North Africa, a primitive, s rugged, warlike race. I am sure that f had it not been for Moslem influence, a they would have been a forward, en- c lightened people; for our boys we in- I telligent, frank, ambitions and sym- t pathetic. They come to us young and c ■■spoiled, and I have found as much < genuine honesty among them aa I had t found among our American lads. They 1 are often naughty, make many mistakes because of ignorance, but rarely try to ; avoid ponishmeat by deception. 1 AH the boys attend the French pub- • Ik eehooL It hi our work to make . healthy, manly, moral young men of

them. Although we do not have the , boya with us during the day, our in- ( fluence is the same at the parents in | the home. , Every evening we have an hour of , religious instruction. The little fellows ( are becoming remarkably familiar with , the life and teaching of Jesus, and the Old Testament stories. There is not a shadow of a doubt that each of these boys will be an active factor in spreading the Gospel in North Africa. Every ! Christian that we make to-day means scores in a generation or two. Experteaches that perhaps the only way make Christians here is by training the children. The religion of Mohamet entirely too easy and attractive to "given over by a sin-blinded adult for one so exacting, so sparing of worldly pleasures as ours. Beside the little boys we have in the Home, Omar, an Arab lad of seventeen our Home in Constant ine, who is studying medicine here, and Moband, twenty years old, who is njv. helper. When one contrasts these gentle, moral, Christian young men with the ordinary native that one sees in the cafes or in the streets, one is better able to comprehend just what our religion can do for these people. It will lift them out of poverty and filth unspeakable, but 1 more, it will bring out all the fine qual1 ities of natures so sin-soaked as to ap- ! wholly bad. ' It is not pleasant to have to turn 1 away boys who aak for our aid. Whs* ! do we when we take a child into our Hornet We make him into an lie' able man, ve give him a trade or a profession which will insure him against leBSlOU WOIOI will useuse Him ^

poverty, and we give him a knowledge of the saving power of Jesus Christ - do.we when we say to a boy, "No, have no place for you t" We lose an active christian worker, we thrust a ^ child back into misery profound, we refuse a soul, perhaps, its hope of eternal life. The fact that we "are not able to materially aid these hungry, ragged lit- " fellows hurts, but that is a small " matter beside the knowledge that a soul is kept from the kingdom of Jesus We feel sorry for the poverty and filth of these people, but we deplore much more deeply their ignorance of our Those who wish to come to us are not It is not every week that we a chance to take a boy. We know, however, that we shall have greater opportunities this year then we shall for many years to come. Because of the war there is much poverty among all people here. Parents or relations who would not think of letting their charges enter into a Christian Home are " to do so now. But until we shall received a greater number of I special gifts we shall T^e forced to remany of the precious ones who will apply. Especially since the beginning of the war has it been difficult to "make ends meet." The price of. dried vegetables and nourishing foods has increased a hundred per cent. Bedc and clothing are much dearer. The sum which is provided for the support of a • is scarcely sufficient now. i Must our Home, then, remain for i years as it is? We are absolutely helpless in the matter. We can do the beet • with the money that is given us, but we i cannot provide more. There is but one f way to favorably answer this question.

Sixty dollar, k tfae-emall«t worn that will' keep s boy for ■ year. Who will volunteer to keep one of these three boys for a year? For six months? For a month? Sixty Christians each paying five dollars now would provide for the support of a boy for five years, as long" as many boys are needful of our aid. Or sixty people each giving one dollar now would keep a boy in our Home for a year.. Remember us in your church and Sunj day School when you are raising money for more well known mission fields, We are one of the youngest missions. We (have as yet no spectacular results to j show, but our cause is as worthy as any ! under the sun. We are a handful working for the salvation of fifteen million souls. God will surely bless those who give us that material aid of whieh we are at this - moment peculiarly in need. Very sincerely yours, J. DAVID TOWNSEND. n

Boys' Home, Villa Bar el Amel, Birtraria, El Biar, Algiers, Algeria. J NEWS Or THE HOME. S Ferhat, the New Boy. We have taken the fourteenth boy in- I to the Home. He is called Ferhat. When he came he was crude material— a real "street Arab," though I doubt if our - enlightened America understands the , real meaning of this term. Your real ■ Street Arab knows no law but that of | force, has no idea of the eacredness of £ personal property, every thing that be sees being considered his "find," and takes his greatest pleasure in squab j bling. His speech, too, is wefl -adorned with choice expressions. But he is not necessarily a bad boy, since a bad bov . ' like a sinner, is one who has been en- 1 - lightened and who, with all his enligbi | enment, violates known precepts. ' ( Ferhat when he arrived was not an j attractive looking object. He was thin, j wild looking, and ragged. He wore a . 'cheehia" (fee) many times too large j for him, a cheap cotton shirt, and a ' i bright blue "gandoura" (sort of big j sleeved night gown.) His feet were clad a pair of back and green men's socks. 1 quite without heel or toe. And that was j 1 the sum of his worldly possession*, j (Continued on page three.)
