ZOAR HOME AND MATERNITY HOSPITAL Zoar Home, with its 6 acres of ground, is beautifully situated upon the slopes of Allison Park (Greater Pitts- burgh) Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The commodious main building, flanked by the beautiful nurses’ home, isolation building and laundry, attracts ready attention. Its primary object is to save children and to give these tiny waifs a chance in life. Its mission is unique in charitable institutions, in that no woman or child is turned from its doors if they are in need of sympathetic help. Babies and cases which other hospitals must refuse, are welcomed here, and the great Christian heart of the institution goes out to the unfortunate mothers (married and unmarried) who seek the sheltering care which the home affords. It welcomes all, without regard to race, color or creed, realizing that its work is done in the name of Him who “made of one blood all the nations of the earth,” and the only password of admission is the need of the care and ministrations for which the home was founded. Religious services are held in the chapel every Sabbath afternoon, conducted by ministers of the various denomi- nations in the neighborhood, thus sustaining the Christian atmosphere in the home, as well as impressing those whose religious life has been sadly neglected and adding new courage and hope to those who have known better things. Zoar Home is a nonsectarian institution with lofty Christian ideals. It is supported by the charitable public be- cause of its high character and splendid work. It is doing work that few institutions care to do, and doing it in a spirit of unselfishness; it is doing it because the saving of a child’s life is worth while; they believe that a child with such handi- caps as children have that enter the Home should have chance for life and health—God’s great gift to humanity. They believe that a child is the nation’s chief asset, and that the saving of the life of a child is a service well worthy of the affort.
