[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: ADLARD COLES NAUTICAL BOOKS], 1904 - The dictum went out that the sheep were to be parted from the goats and the goats were sent to Telegraph Hill. There were many shepherds for the sheep. They were led into the green pastures beside the still waters. At night their folds were watched and tended. But the goats foraged for themselves. They roamed the rough places. They browsed upon the tin cans and detritus of life. There were none to stroke them or call them soft names. They made their bed upon the long, hard road. They lived a strained and rugged life. They made a comrade of Necessity rather than Ambition. It was the kids that died. They were not fitted for the chill nights and the buffetings. If they grew, they were gnarled and twisted. They lay down in squalor, and they arose in misery. But the sheep were tended, and the world ran on. Then some young women took notice of this unconsidered hillside where the goats browsed gloomily, and where the kids were gaunt and strange. These were young women of the pleasant ways of life. They could have gone on in the flowerbordered paths, hearing the lark sing and stringing the daisy-chains. But-they left the pleasaunces and went up into the hard places, where the rough goats were, and the strange, white kids. Out of their devotion was born the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Association. They made a small beginning, but it was a good beginning. There were ten thousand disc ura ements. But those young women put down those discouragements with courage. They established their association and rooted it in the rocks of the Hill. Where there was sickness they sent a doctor and a nurse, a flower and a smile. Where there was discouragement and waywardness they extended a helping hand.Where there was death they sent consolation. They gave fresh air to children who failed and faded in close, untidy rooms. They set up Education, where Ignorance had ruled. In other words, they have their free dispensary, their doctors and their nurses they have girls clubs, whkre they teach sewing and housework, boys clubs, where the boys are taught to carve wood and work in leather and interest themselves in wholesome things they have mothers clubs, where those who will can learn the rudiments of nursing they have a kitchen garden, and a hundred pleasant ways of doing good. . They are non-sectarian. Now, these young women need money to carry on their work. One of their ways of raising this money is the sale of the book of recipes for which my stumbling words are to make a lame preface. Many of the recipes haie been collected from among the peoples of far-flung lands who live upon the Hill. Necessity has taught them how to cook many things that would be the despair of your servant of the kitchen or your chef at the club. There is a tang of hiih living about these recipes - of the living of peoples who dwell upon a hill. - If you buy this book you will help the work of the Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Association. You will make the soft hand reach farther. You will send more nurses and doctors to the beds of pain. You will help Education and Hopefulness in the endless struggle with Ignorance and Weakness. You will bring the browns and reds into cheeks now pale. You will let Happiness dance in eyes where Sorrow now sits and glooms. You will put one more flower on a dead childs grave. Dont you think it worth your while to buy the book It seems to me there is no nobler, no greater work thanthat which these young women and girls are doing and have done. When I think of it there comes to me out of the long ago a something learned beside a womans knee - the same sort of woman as the ones who now are deifying American womanhood on Telegraph Hill...Versandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]<
