Transcript (If available)

Content ri for this work in Turkey, so after four years’ experience Miss
Shattuck visited Europe to make arrangements with several
wholesale firms for the disposal of goods.

Ie is gratifying to know that a German firm and the
MeBride Company in Belfast, Ireland, became her agents,
they furnishing material and paying for the work done.
From this time the embroidery work was established on a

successful business and additional workshops were

18

thousand women
larly employed and five hundred dozen
‘embroidered handkerchiefs were shipped every week.
So crowded were the living rooms of the station, first
with the boxes and bales for the relief work, and later with
materials for the embroidery industry that for twelve years
‘Miss Shattuck was obliged to use her own private room as a
stureroom and workroom, taking down her bed and sleeping
‘on a couch or out of doors. Her generous nature led her to
share everything she had with the largest possible number.
But Miss Shattuck never forgot that she was, first of

ness of work to relieve great sorrow; were taught to sup-
port themselves and live the Christian life.

While Miss Shattuck was in England arranging for
the embroidery work of her women, she held meetings in all
the large towns and cities to raise money for the support of
the orphans. But England was absorbed in the South Afri-
can war and the visible results of her winter's work were
few. In the spring she went to the United States, and here
also, the slowness with which her work progressed almost
overpowered her. “Say nothing to any but the Father,” she
writes, “but it is getting to be almost an anxiety, and that
is forbidden.” Later some large gifts came that were very
acceptable, so that when she started for Turkey in September,
she was very happy over all that had been accomplished.

The Lord has prospered my undertaking, and 1
worked faithfully to the very end,” she writes a friend,
