She labored indefatlguably day In and day out to accomplish this Her boys, as she called them, were her constant thought. Her. tele phone kept her In constant touch with large groups of fellows, and there waa scarcely a day that some of them were not called upon to do an errand of love, to hunt up and Influence some other man for good, or to go home and search up something from the Bible.
