Giving Lift to Fallen
Girls This Woman *s Work
The Rev. Alice Phillips Aldrich Says Mother
Is Only Real Friend.
CHICAGO. May 13.—Main street lifts a
scornful eyebrow at the “fallen" girl.
The country church ostracizes her.
Her former girl friends are cold.
Even dad be doesn't always forgive.
But “mother”
"Mother.” said the Rev. Aliee Phillips
Aldrieh, Chicago's only woman pastor,
who has assisted in the rescue of approx
imately 19.. V-J "fallen'’ girls—an average
of one a day for twenty-nine years—
" Mother is wonderful. She always under-!
stands.”
The Rev. Mrs. Aldrich who daily puts,
some little seared, hard-eyed, disillusion-1
ized country girl on a train for home,
“untagged,” says almost always it is
mother who is at the depot when the
train pulls in.
“Dad somehow can forgive a prodigal
son. hut it's harder for him to reconcile
a misstep on the part of a daughter,”
she said.
Seventy per cent of the girls who go
wrong cotne from the villages and small
towns. Mrs. Aldrich said. More than
1.000 cases have been bandied by the Illi
nois Vigilance Society in the last two
years They are of the following types:
The (IDsatDtied girl. Sore on "small
town life.” Launches out. Mrs. Aldrich
say*, -‘like a child in the night,” and
lands in the morals court.
The would-be "smart” girl. Crazy for
clothes and a good time.
The ambitious girl. Convinced she

CHURCH NEWS
MOTHER'S DAY will be observed in
a’l -f the < hur-he* of the city tomorrow.
Rome churches have made arrangements
to send automobile* to some aged moth
ers who are unable to walk to church
Sunday morning. Ail pastors have att
nou.iced special sermons for Mother*
Day.
THE REV H w B Myri-fc will t
turn at the Progressive Spiritualist

Door.”
THE KEY. J. EDWARD MURR of the
Capitol Avenue Methodist c'hi'reh will
speak Sunday morning on "influence of
can make good in tlie big city. Suc
eurahs to the “easier way.”
The marrying girl. Urazy for a “man.'*
1 surdiy gets one within a week and
loses him just as quickly. Result: Mar
ried voman adrift.
“The old type of brazen immoral wom
an.” sa.ii Mrs. Aldrich, “is almost ex
tinct—she went when the segregated (Us
tricts were closed. *
“The new type is characterized by
youth and unsophistication. She is us
ually around 19. A few years either
way.”
The pity of the thing, in Mrs. Aid
rich's opinion, is that the small com
munity makes It so ha/d for the erring
girl to right herself. The country church
should go to the prodigal, she said. But,
unfortunately, the fbureh Is dependent
on Its social as well a* spiritual lift.
And. she was sorry to say. the church
is doing a poor Job of it, socially, judg
ing front the reactions she receives in
hundreds of letters front rescued girls.
"But." said the Rev. Mrs. Aldrich, a
ring in her voice, "there is mother.”
.“Mother takes the little wounded bird
to h r heart. She understands. There
is a reason why they sing 'Mother' so
often in the cabarets. One- again under
mother’s protection, the little bird sel
dom flies away. Wonderful, wonderful
mother,'”

Pastor Plays Ball and Takes Hikes
With Boys of St. Matthew*s Church
The Rev . Mr. Fackler,
Without Aid of the
Modern Church Edi
fice, Has Built Up a
Great Center for
Young People.
By THE VISITOR.
A minister is a great deal like a
father.
A successful father must be a “pal”
and a close friend of bis sons. A big
minister must be a part of the boy life
of the church and of the community.
W4th a church building which is too
j old and too small to meet the demands
of the community, the Rev. Lewis C. E.
Fackler, pastor of Xt- Matthew’s Eran
-1 gollcal Lutheran Church, corner of Hoyt
avenue and Randolph street, has become
a "pal" and a dose friend of the boys
i and the young people of his church.
As tlie church building is too small to
: furnish gymnasium and social room con
veniences, the Rev. Mr. Fackler picks up
a bail bat and a fishing pole and starts
to the country with the boys of (.lie
church. He takes long hikes with tlu-ru
along the highways of the county,
j This pastor has made a great pulpit,
i yes, even a church, of the great out-of
i doors.
In this way the pastor has made him
j sol? a part of the life of the young people
i of the community. Sllen; sermon* r.-.ay
I be preached on a lot with a bunch of
hoys playing baseball. That tlie pastor
knows. Great lessons may be taught
from nature. That he knows.
On a little visit to Rt. Matthew's
Church, I found that the church is prac
tically otic large room, with a seating
capacity of about !20 seats. The Run
day school membership is much larger
than the seating ai i-ommedations of the
church This has necessitated the pas
tor making a rule that alt tlie Sunday
are not with them and a part of them?
You have to love your public. The voice
puts it over but there must be love.”
Such honest-to-goodness talk made
me admire this woman more than ever.
That's it—Galli-Curet Is a greal woman
and only great women become big art
ists.
1 told her that I have had trouble in
terviewing some stars who are tempera
mental.
“They sometimes must, get into a
sweat.” she said. “They lose control. 1
believe have artists are cleaner and more
human today than ever before. We are
all human beings.
ROVES F ROWERS
ANI DOGS.
Sho told me she loves flowers and
'logs.
“Rots of flowers and those big police
dogs,” she paid. “They are grand.”
She appreciates the wonderful ovations
that America is giving her on this tour.
Today, Galli Curct knows that America
loves her and she loves America.
“I mentioned her husband, Homer Sam
uels, who also is her accompanist at all
her concerts.
“Vos.'’ she said, “he is In the next
room shaving. He was so thankful to
get a shave atnl a bath. T will call him.”
So the great singer went to the door
and disturbed her husband while shav
ing. •
“He "ill come shortly,” she said.
And so I met the entire family and all
three of us had a great chat.
So I discovered tho really gentilne
great are only human, Just like you and X.
school children must be out of the church
building, unless they remain for church
services, before the church members are
admitted for divine services oa Sunday
morning.
LITHE* LEAGUE
MEETS IN HOMES.
The Luther League Is an organization
for the young unmarried people of the
church. There are now- about thirty
members.
“When a member marries (hat auto
math ally excludes him or her from
membership,” the pastor explained.
He admitted that quite often several
members are automatically excluded.
Cupid is quite busy in church circles,
you know.
The object of the league is to pro
pound church fellowship and the prin
ciples of the Lutheran Church. The

erection of anew church building.

dates of various meetings for thirty
days. They also print pictures of the

regular Sunday attendance.
