Excerpt from History of the Presbyterian Home for Aged Couples and Aged Men of Pennsylvania: From February, 1885 to January, 1903The Home is under the care of about ninety managers from the different churches. There are fourteen gentlemen forming an Advisory Board, to whom the managers apply for counsel on any vexed question or knotty problem to be disentangled. It has also about fifty young lady helpers, a band of careful workers, called The Young Ladies' Auxiliary. These visit and enter tain the aged ones, keeping them in touch with the world and its social happenings. This is indeed the true spirit of service, and is independent of their money-getting and money-spending for the needs of the Home and its family.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
