Elihu Root Warns the South [anti-suffrage broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
Broadside publishing an essay by James Callaway, editor of the <em>Macon Telegraph</em> and an ardent anti-suffragist. <br /><br />Callaway quotes Senator William Borah: <br /><br />"The cornerstone of the very fabric of our system is the right of local self-government as to who shall vote in the State, or who shall own property and lands or attend schools in a State. These are prerogatives of the State, not of the Federal government. What I am contending for is this--that which is local in its nature as I conceive this suffrage matter to be, should be permitted to remain local. <br /><br />The right to vote can never, in the nature of things, under our system be other than a local question, for upon it rests the very integrity and the sovereignty of the State." <br /><br />Callaway discusses "complications" with the Federal government (including the Supreme Court that had decided against disenfranchisement laws) brought about when States cannot decide who gets to vote. He declares that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_primaries" target="_blank" title="white primaries" rel="noreferrer noopener">white primary</a> was important for protecting white rural women in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Belt_(U.S._region)" target="_blank" title="definition of "black belt" region of the U.S." rel="noreferrer noopener">black belt</a> and making it safe for them to leave their homes without escort. <br /><br />"Talk about emancipation of women--of freedom and a war for humanity--when the Susan B. Anthony amendment will close the public highways to our women of the rural districts, and again make them the victims of the 'terrorism,' that frightfulness which superinduced nervous debility."

Senator John T. Morgan Denounces Woman Suffrage. "He Being Dead, yet Speaketh"
Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage broadside that argues voting will corrupt women, and, more urgently, that increasing the number of black votes will bring about the end of white supremacy in Alabama. The words of Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler_Morgan" target="_blank" title="John Tyler Morgan" rel="noreferrer noopener">John Tyler Morgan</a>, a staunch proponent of white supremacist ideology, and Judge <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Tayloe" target="_blank" title="William Henry Tayloe" rel="noreferrer noopener">William Henry Tayloe</a>, a wealthy plantation owner, are quoted. Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper are mentioned. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"White Supremacy Totters in Alabama. Men of the South, Shall It Fall? Woe Be Unto That Man who Would Betray Us. Judge W. H. Tayloe, one of Alabama's Ablest and Informed Statesmen, adds this Warning, Backed by Facts, Figures and Personal Experience." <br /><br />"It is not the moral influence of woman upon the ballot that I am objecting to, and it is not to get rid of that, or to silence or destroy such influence that I oppose it, but it is the IMMORAL influence of the ballot upon woman, that I depreciate and would avoid. <br />I do not want to see her drawn into contact with the rude things of this world, where the delicacy of her senses and sensibilities would be constantly wounded by the attrition with bad and desperate and foul politicians and men. Such is not her function and is not her office; and if we degrade her from the high station that God has place her in to put her at the ballot-box, at political or other elections, we UNMAN ourselves and refuse to do the duties that God as assigned to us." <br /><br />"Though the Supreme Court of the Nation has held that the 14th and 15th amendments were not grants of power to Congress but limitations upon the power of the States; yet it found a way to declare void the provisions of the Constitution of Oklahoma that eliminated the negro in that State as a voter. How soon will it find a way to require the States to let the negro vote? Who can tell?" <br /><br />"Men of the South, the 15th Amendment but sleeps. Write your State Legislators TO-DAY to VOTE AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE."

“V is for Virginia” [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
In 1944, military leaders struggled to maintain troop levels as casualties mounted in World War II. The Navy Women’s Reserve Act, signed into law in 1942, authorized women to become part of the group called Women Accepted for Volunteer Service—commonly known as WAVES. <br /><br />By 1945, some 86,000 reservists were on duty. Women served in myriad roles during the war, running the gamut from clerks and drivers to machinists and radio operators, as well as doctors, engineers, and attorneys. <br /><br />This Richmond broadside encourages women to volunteer to become part of the “all-Virginia WAVES group.”<br /><br />Text:<br /><br />V is for VIRGINIA, the Old Dominion State which has given so generously of her men and women in every cause of justice, righteousness, and democracy. <br /><br />V is for VICTORY, which requires the energy and effort of every man and woman to bring the war to a quick and sure end. <br /><br />V is for VOLUNTEER, as in Virginia Victory Volunteers, the all-Virginia WAVES group in which Virginia women are enlisting during August and September 1944 to achieve the Victory we all desire. <br /><br />Investigate YOUR opportunity today!<br />Volunteer at any U.S. Navy Recruiting Station or Office of Naval Officer Procurement; <br />(5th & Cary Sts., Richmond 19, Va.)

Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
Reprint of an editorial from the <em>Richmond Evening Journal</em>, May 4, 1915. <br /><br />"Virginia Warns Her People Against Suffrage <br />---- <br />Twenty-nine counties would go under Negro Rule Over sixty counties in the State of Georgia <br />The entire State of Mississippi <br />----- <br />What of your state, your country? Isn't it about time for reflecting men and women to think--and act? <br />---- <br />THE THREATENED COUNTIES <br />From the Richmond Evening Journal May 4, 1915--Republished by Request <br /><br />Several times The Richmond Evening Journal has be asked to say which counties of Virginia have more colored than white female inhabitants. The question , of course, is in connection with the somewhat noisy demands we read of in the newspapers for "votes for women." Here is the list, from the United States census of 1910:<br /><br />...It is to be remembered that the literacy test would not work in choking off the colored woman vote. The colored people are decreasing their percentage of illiteracy very fast, especially among their women and girls. The ladies of the suffrage league will hardly come forward with a property test. No safeguard would be left but the poll tax; and if colored women knew they could get votes and rule some very rich and important counties by paying $1.50 apiece, we are inclined to think most of them would be willing to go hungry, if necessary to do it. <br /><br />Probably the ladies engaged in this suffrage movement are not very practical or very logical or very well informed or disposed to bother their heads with the actual facts of politics. Most of them, we surmise, hold the somewhat vague, but firmly established feminine line of reasoning that when they want something , or think they want it, they ought to have it by all principles of wisdom and justice; and are prepared always to fall back on the traditional conclusive feminine argument "because."

Equal Suffrage and the Negro Vote [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This broadside was issued by the Equal Suffrage League in about 1916. <br /><br />Southern suffragists were forced to respond to anti-suffrage groups who argued that if African American women gained the right to vote, white supremacy would be threatened. Although some prominent suffragists claimed that their response was borne only out of expedience, and not principle, they nonetheless employed Jim Crow arguments by emphasizing the power of the literacy test and the poll tax.

Bond, Piedmont Sanatorium
Description
An account of the resource
Bond, issued in 1917 in return for a donationof $1.00 toward the construction of Piedmont Sanatorium. <br /><br />The Piedmont Sanatorium was established in Burkeville, Virginia, in June, 1918. At that time, tuberculosis was one of the leading causes of death for African Americans, but segregated health care in Virginia dictated that blacks could receive treatment in only two facilities—Central State Hospital (a mental health facility) and the state penitentiary. <br /><br />The <a href="https://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/negro_organization_society" target="_blank" title="Negro Organization Society" rel="noreferrer noopener">Negro Organization Society</a> initiated discussions with the State Board of Health, particularly Agnes D. Randolph, the Director of the Bureau of Tuberculosis Education. Randolph was instrumental in convincing the state government to establish a facility for African Americans. <br /><br />The Negro Organization Society continued to be heavily involved with the issue, from raising public awareness to donating funds to improve the facility. Piedmont Sanatorium had closed by 1965, when black patients began to be sent to Blue Ridge Sanatorium, near Charlottesville. <br /><br />Excerpt: <br />"This Bond is issued for the purpose of cooperation with the Negro Organization Society to erect and to equip one Building to be used for the patients and to include rooms for visiting Doctors who shall from time to time be invited for study to the Sanatorium. The purchaser hereby receives a share in the benefit and happiness to be derived."

Notice! The Coloured People of the City of Richmond… [broadside]
Description
An account of the resource
This 1866 broadside, issued by members of the African American community in Richmond, intended to clarify their plans to celebrate not the fall of the Confederacy, but rather the first anniversary of emancipation. <br /><br />When Richmond fell into the hands of Union troops, on 3 April 1865, enslaved individuals there effectively were emancipated. The text noted that the black community would commemorate “the day on which GOD was pleased to liberate their long-oppressed race”—emphasizing that their freedom came about as a result of God’s will. <br /><br />In the immediate aftermath of the war, racialized confrontations in Richmond’s streets frequently led to violence, and near-riots. The African American community, while determined to carry out their celebration, clearly intended to preempt potentially violent repercussions. <br /><br />Text: <br /><br />"NOTICE! <br />The coloured people of the City of Richmond would most respectfully inform the public, that <br />THEY DO NOT INTEND <br />to celebrate<br />THE FAILURE OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY, <br />as it has been stated in the papers of this City, but simply as the day on which GOD was pleased to Liberate their long-oppressed race. <br /><br />C. Harris,<br />J. Cocks, <br />J. Edmunds, <br />F. J. Smith,<br />N. Williams, <br />Committee.<br /><br />Richmond, Va., April 2, 1866"

Description
An account of the resource
A brief historical overview of the relationship between unionism and working women in Boston. This approach attempts to identify the causes for the wage and employment disparities of working women in comparison to working men, and therefore suggesting this inequality as the central reason for Boston’s working women link with unionism. <br /><br />Additionally, the booklet touches upon a handful of various labor unions organized exclusively by working women that lived and operated within the city of Boston during the turn of the century. <br /><br />These three pages represent an excerpt of a larger work.

MEN. You are making "The World Safe for Democracy." [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Echoing Woodrow Wilson's request for a Declaration of War in 1917, this handbill argued that women should be free from political duties just as they were free from the duty of fighting in war. <br /><br />The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage#Virginia_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="VAOWS on Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virginia Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage</a>, formed in Richmond, Va. in 1912. This group of women was associated with the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"MEN. You are making 'The World Safe for Democracy.' And also safe for women. That your Mothers, Sisters and Wives may never have to suffer as the women of Belgium and France have suffered. <br />ALL WOMEN THANK YOU <br />Men manage most of our business.<br />Our Government is a very big business. <br />Most women want men to manage our Government. <br />Only a few women want suffrage. <br />Shall these few women force all women into politics? <br />Women can do their bit best outside of Politics. <br />Our hands are full already with work which only women can do. <br />Women are free from the duty of fighting. <br />Protect us in our right to be free from political duties."

Anti-Suffage Arguments [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Handbill from the Virginia Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage articulating arguments against giving women the right to vote. The Association give several reasons why suffrage will not help working women. <br /><br />The VAOWS was a group of women opposed to suffrage who organized in Richmond in 1912. They were affiliated with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage#Virginia_Association_Opposed_to_Woman_Suffrage" target="_blank" title="Wikipedia article" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage</a>. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"Votes cannot make work when there is no work.<br />Votes cannot increase wages when there is no natural increase in business. <br /><br />The best safeguards for the working women are found in those States where the laws have been made by men voters....<br /><br />The badge of the Consumer's League has done more for the relief of the working women, than any vote could ever do. <br /><br />A woman's citizenship is as great and as real as that of any man. The Anti-Suffragists stand for the true view of woman's place in the State."

Votes for Men. [anti-suffrage handbill]
Description
An account of the resource
Anti-suffrage handbill arguing that women have the right to exemption from political duties and to protection, "even against herself, if need be." <br /><br />An advertisement for a weekly journal, <em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=osu.32435066509266;view=2up;seq=6" target="_blank" title="The Woman Patriot, no. 3-4" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Woman Patriot</a>,</em> is included on this handbill. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />"VOTES FOR MEN<br />============<br />'It's up to you, Son," says Uncle Sam.' <br />Stand by the Women! <br />Vote for Women's Rights! <br /><br />The one indisputable right of woman in relation to the State is exemption from political duties. <br /><br />If you vote for the ballot for women, you vote to start a corrupting force for all heedless women, a burden on good women. The man who opposes women's so-called emancipation is the far-sighted lover of his country and his kind. <br /><br />Can man do woman's work? No, no more can woman do man's work. Man and Woman stand side by side as two EQUAL but DIVERSE human entities. Woman's nature is fundamentally organically different from man's. <br /><br />Her right is the right to protection. The whole duty of man towards woman is to protect her, even against herself, if need be. She has a right to be protected, because she can't live a normal life without protection."<br /><br />Reverse side titled "Women's Rights" has quotations from Herbert Spencer, John Bright, and Miss Ida M. Tarbell.

Interracial News Service, vol. 11, no. 1. January 1940
Description
An account of the resource
A news digest published by the Department of Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New York, NY. <br /><br />The Federal Council of Churches was an ecumenical association of Protestant denominations in the United States founded in Philadelphia in 1908. It merged with other ecumenical bodies in 1950 to form the present day National Council of Churches. <br /><br />Masthead: "Gleanings from press releases and other sources to inform busy but sincere people of some of the things affecting the lives of racial minorities. Let's do away with walls ! 'We are all one in Christ Jesus.'<br />The Material in the News Service is given for information and is not to be construed as declarations of official attitudes or policies of the Department of Race Relations or the Federal Council of Churches." <br /><br />This issue takes a look back at 1939, noting important stories and trends. Topics include lynchings, jobs and organized labor, peonage, housing, civil rights, health, law, spots, arts, religion, literature, World War 2, and science.<br /><br />Selected notices:<br />p. 1 "The Department of Records of Tuskegee Institute lists only three lynchings for the year 1939, a sharp decrease from former years. In eighteen instances law enforcement officers were credited with preventing lynchings, saving twenty-five persons from 'the hands of mobs,'" <br /><br />p. 2 "The right to vote has been sought with new vigor by Negroes in Southern states. The Klan was revived in an effort to terrify Negroes and keep them from registering in Florida and South Carolina...." <br /><br />"The refusal of library service was dramatized in Alexandria, Va., where the public librarian called the police to remove five colored youths who sought service in this public institution. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Director of Negro Affairs for the NYA reported at a meeting of the Southern Education Foundation that only 14 per cent of 509 public libraries in 13 Southern stataes provided service for Negroes."<br /><br />"Health facilities for Negroes are notably lacking. A study in Mississippi made by the American Medical Association showed that there was only one Negro physician for each 14,221 colored persons and only 731 beds in general hospitals for the entire Negro population of more than a million in the state. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the deaths from tuberculosis are Negroes but only 40 beds are available for their care. This represents the worst type of situation." <br /><br />p. 3 "Joe Louis world's heavyweight champion, defended his title four times in 1939." <br /><br />"Marian Anderson, internationally known contralto, soared to new heights when she sang to 75,000 and a nationwide radio audience from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, after exclusion by the D. A. R. from using Constitution Hall." <br /><br />"The threatened growth of anti-Semitism has intensified the study of race relations and many church groups have broadened their consideration of race to include this problem." <br /><br />"The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues issued a statement declaring that experiments showed no characteristic inherent psychological differences to distinguish so-called 'races.'" <br /><br />"From the American Jewish Committee, New York...<br />Stimulated by the meeting between representatives of the Jewish press and Negro organizations held at the end of September, the Jewish press in the United States has undertaken a systemic campaign to improve relations between Negroes and Jews."

Social Justice, February 13, 1939
Description
An account of the resource
Front and back covers of <em>Social Justice, </em>February 13, 1939. <br /><br /><em> Social Justice</em> was a national weekly periodical published by Father Charles Coughlin during the late 1930s and early 1940s<em>. </em>Couglin was a Canadian-American Roman Catholic priest based near Detroit, Michigan. Coughlin hosted a weekly radio show that reached an estimated 30 million listeners. <br /><br /><em>Social Justice</em> was controversial for publishing anti-Semitic polemics. Eventually, the periodical's mailing permit was revoked and Father Coughlin's radio show was forced off the air. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />Front cover: "Make Your Choices" <br />[Image Description: A man stands stroking his beard as he contemplates two statues, one of Abraham Lincoln and the other of Lenin.] <br /><br />"Today, this nation makes a mental pilgrimage to Springfield, Illinois, there to pay memorial tribute at the tomb of Abraham Lincoln. <br />The rough, honest frontiersman lawyer who became a wartime President of the United States, has become a symbol of the Typical American. He is the Poor Man's President, the Great Emancipator, the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a martyr because he opposed dis-union and the international bankers. <br /><br />Across the world, another tomb--that of Lenin in the Red Square of Moscow--is also a center of pilgrimage and the symbol of internationalism. <br /><br />Disciples of Lenin and followers of Lincoln are today in conflice in this country. And no American can be a 'neutral.' <br /><br />Which hero, Lenin or Lincoln? On which side are YOU--Americanism or Communism?"<br /><br />Back cover: "The 'Smut' Vendor"<br />[Image Description: A man stands before a newsstand, smoking a cigarette and holding out a salacious magazine to the viewer. Behind him the shelves are filled with periodicals with titles such as "Smut," "Scandal," "Slime," "Passion," and "Scum."] <br /><br />"Our Man of the Week is a merchandiser of sensation, of propaganda disguised as entertainment, and of outright subversion of morality. <br /><br />The artist has sought to catch the evil spirit of his menace. Readers of <em>Social Justice</em> were introduced last week to the 'Mystical Body of Satan'--on the racks of any modern newstand on may survey his work.<br /><br />Confident that America is a 'Christian' country, we have permitted to thrive and prosper off our indifference, a progressively flagrant affronting of common decency, to say nothing of Christian morals. <br /><br />Encouraged by our tolerance, the Smut Vendors have grown bolder: from off-color joke illustrated by daring cartoons, the magazines have retrograded rapidly into deliberate filth. Feminine nudity and bad taste in 'candid camera reporting' is a commonplace for the nation's children. <br /><br />The remedy is in YOUR hands. Tell your newsstand dealer what magazines offend and why. Tell the advertisers who support these magazines why you think their editorial contents ought not to be supported.<br /><br />A Legion of Decency some years ago cleaned up Hollywood's rotten films; let's clean up the newsstands!"

Description
An account of the resource
Handbill published by the New York State Woman Suffrage Association. <br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />Votes for Women! The Woman's Reason. Because <br /><br />BECAUSE women must obey the laws just as men do, They should vote equally with men.<br />BECAUSE women pay taxes just as men do, thus supporting the government, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women suffer from bad government just as men do, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE mothers want to make their children's surroundings better, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE over 5,000,000 women in the United States are wage workers and their health and that of our future citizens are often endangered by evil working conditions that can only be remedied by legislation, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women of leisure who attempt to serve the public welfare should be able to support their advice by their votes, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE busy housemothers and professional women cannot give such public service, and can only serve the state by the same means used by the busy men--namely, by casting a ballot, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women are sonsumers, and sonsumers need fuller representation in politics, They should vote equally with men. <br />BECAUSE women are citizens of a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and women are people. They should vote equally with men. <br />EQUAL SUFFRAGE FOR MEN AND WOMEN.<br />WOMEN Need It. <br />MEN Need IT. <br />The STATE Needs IT.<br />WHY?<br />BECAUSE Women Ought to GIVE Their Help.<br />Men Ought to HAVE Their Help.<br />The State Ought to USE Their Help.

Annual Report of the Refuge in the City of Boston and the Bethesda Society, 1912 [selected pages]
Description
An account of the resource
This document details information regarding the Refuge's and the Bethesda Society’s yearly financial expenses, donations, and membership, while also documenting the number of “refugees” under their care. <br />Additionally, this annual report and the <a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/422" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Annual report of the Refuge and Bethesda Society ">annual report of 1911</a> (also available in the Image Portal), display the mission statements of the two societies and explain how, though being two separate organizations, their specific goals function in harmony with one another. <br /><br />A "Time Schedule" (p. 12) outlines daily activities by day of the week, including sewing, school, gymnastics and recreation.<br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p. 17 "However beset with difficulties any human life may be, whether from evil inheritance or corrupt surroundings, we believe there is no human being who with the grace of God cannot be reformed, if that grace be accompanied by human forces. This belief must always be the foundation stone of all successful efforts against evil in this world, and it is nowhere more needed than in just the work we are trying to do here." <br />"The great motive of all our efforts is to reform the transgressor, not to punish."<br /><br />p. 18 "We offer them first of all a cheerful, comfortable and refined home, and bring them under the influence of kind and judicious matrons....Here are combined the influences of a home, a school, a church--the three great forces of changing character."<br /><br />p. 20 "During their sewing hours, and often in the evening, the matrons read aloud to the girls from books which are received from the Pulic Library Deposit Station--fifty books of suitable reading matter being left at a time, that the girls may be supplied with desirable books which they can read during their leisure hours."<br /><br />pp. 20-21 "To secure the best results, it is considered necessary for the girls to remain with us at least two years and then, unless relatives or friends have provided for them they are not allowed to leave our home until desirable situations are found for them where they can still be under our watchful care."

Society for the Entertainment of Shut-ins, 1909 [annual report]
Description
An account of the resource
The Society for the Entertainment of Shut-Ins (SESI) was founded in 1901 by the Rev. George W. Shinn, D. D. in Boston, Massachusetts. <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Shinn%2C+George+W.+%28George+Wolfe%29%2C+1839-1910%22" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="books by the Rev. G. W. Shinn on Internet Archive">Shinn</a> was the rector of <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/fFVBeVbA8d22" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Grace Episcopal Church, Google Maps">Grace Episcopal Church</a>, Newton, Ma. <br /><br />According to these documents, the Society aimed “to relive the monotony and pain of a shut-in life…Its original plan included giving entertainments in hospitals and other institutions…the present work is chiefly among isolated invalids, and almost entirely with chronic sufferers, 'whom the Lord has shut in.'”<br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />p. 2-3 "It is, however, in the subtler forms of cheer, in the building up of hope and courage, infinding new interests or reviving old ones, in bringing good books or new ideas, in carrying 'golden gossip' to those who have drifted into an eddy of petty interests, in giving comfort at times of especial suffering or grief, that the Society does its best work."<br /><br />p. 6 "A helpless invalid who lies alone all day in a cheerless tenement because she and the sister who supports her cannot bear to be separated, has had much brightness brought into her sinularly desolate life, and is exceedingly grateful." <br /><br />p. 8 "This Society is closely affiliated with the Shut-In Society, which publishes the 'Open Window,' a monthly magazine which serves as a means of communication between its members who are scattered throughout the world although chiefly in the United States."

Description
An account of the resource
The Society for the Entertainment of Shut-Ins (SESI) was founded in 1901 by the Rev. George W. Shinn, D. D. in Boston, Massachusetts. <a href="https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Shinn%2C+George+W.+%28George+Wolfe%29%2C+1839-1910%22" target="_blank" title="books by the Rev. G. W. Shinn on Internet Archive" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shinn</a> was the rector of <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/fFVBeVbA8d22" target="_blank" title="Grace Episcopal Church, Google Maps" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grace Episcopal Church</a>, Newton, Ma. <br /><br />According to these documents, the Society aimed “to relive the monotony and pain of a shut-in life…Its original plan included giving entertainments in hospitals and other institutions…the present work is chiefly among isolated invalids, and almost entirely with chronic sufferers, 'whom the Lord has shut in.'” <br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p. 4 "Many invalids would be glad to dispose of their handiwork and orders for needle work of all kinds, paper flowers, painting, etc., can be filled. It would be a great help if some of the members of the society would undertake a sale of this work, thus helping the Shut-Ins to help themselves." <br /><br />p. 8 "In January, 1907, this Society became affiliated with the Shut-In Society, and a number of invalids were made members of the larger organization, whose scope is world-wide but whose mission of cheer is largely carried on by correspondence, and which as a society does not give any material assistance. From the first the two have worked in harmony although not officially connected."
