FOOTNOTES:
[67] In the section on “Types of Missions” and “Permanent, Periodic, and Temporary Converts,” the writer is indebted to material furnished by Mr. L. Guy Brown from an unpublished study of “Missions in Chicago.”
[68] One mission of this type on West Madison Street records that during the year ending September, 1921, 56,718 homeless men visited the mission. During this time 4,016 men knelt at the altar (were converted). Nearly 29,000 meals were served to hungry and unemployed men, while 4,145 tickets were issued which entitled the bearer to sleep at a flophouse or cheap rooming-house.
[69] The officials of the League estimate that there were 7,000 homeless men among the Negroes in the winter of 1921-22.
