HOME MISSION BOARD 345
WORK IN OUR RESCUE MISSIONS
Rev. C. A. Brantley, superintendent of the Men's Rescue Mission and of the
Woman's Emergency Home, both of which are located in New Orleans, has
rendered a very fine service in directing the work of these homes.
During the war, there was less need than usual for the ministry of the
Men's Rescue Mission. However, the records of the past few months indicate
that there will be an increasing demand for this type of ministry in the months
ahead.
There have been more applications for admittance to the Woman's Emergency
Home than the management could accommodate. The reports of these
homes, which follow, indicate the splendid work which both are doing.
