I pray for and write to ( another girl in the Door of Hope) often be– cause I know that she doesn't have anyone clo e to her. When I first went to the Mission, I didn't know how people would treat me and I thought it v.·ould be horrible if Mom didn't sta 1 r v,ith me. But when I bad stayed for about a week, I realized that this v.as my mistake and that Mom couldn·t help by taying. It was -some– thing I had to do on my own. I ha"\ 1 e ne\·er met a finer, more loving group of people. Mi s Cook was such a dear. I could go to her any time \1,,jth an) 1 problen1 I had. But n10 t of NOVEMBER, 1965 PAGE 14 • rom e 19 all.

' I came to the Mi"' ion many times with no hope or intere t in this life, no hope for the future and cer•tainly no hope of being reconciled to my family. My only interest was to get enough change together for another drink. "I had been an inmate of five alco– holic hos,pitals, twice a victim of a terrible case of D .T.' . I certainly thought •there was no hope for me. But I thank God, I heard through Hi Word, that Jer.-u would save and deliver me if I would tru it Him and surrender my life to Him. 'I had tried ever,ything else and it failed, but on Oct. 14, 1964 I tried J e u , and He saved me and ha kept me . I was reconciled to my family on Christma~ Day, 1964, and it wa the first Chri tmas that I hadn't been picked up by the law for about 18 years.
