cheering the fallen
providing jobs for the jobless
administering to the needs of those in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, asylums and mental institutions, senior citizens’ homes; caring for the sick, the shut-in, the mentally and socially disturbed, and encouraging thrift and economic advancement.
