RULES OF THE NEW YORK MAGDALEN BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.

I. Females applying for admission into this Asylum may be received, at the discretion of the Matron, for one week, until the Visiting Committee shall have opportunity to decide whether they shall remain as permanent inmates.

II. During the continuance of each female in the Institution, she shall be considered as standing on her good conduct, and liable to be dismissed whenever her deportment shall be unsatisfactory to the Visiting Committee.

III. Each female, on entering the Asylum, shall give up her clothes to the Matron, who shall permit her to use such of them as are suitable to the customs of the house; the rest to be laid by for her.

IV. The inmates will occupy the apartments assigned them by the Matron, which shall always be open to her and to the ladies of the Committee.

V. The following rules, for the employment of time, shall be observed, subject to such changes as the discretion of the Matron shall dictate.

1. The breakfast bell shall ring at 7 o'clock. After the devotional exercises of the family, each one shall go to the employment assigned to her for the day. Dinner at 12. Tea at 6. After dinner half an hour shall be allowed for recreation.

2. All the inmates are expected to be employed according to their capacity, either in sewing or household occupations.

3. At a suitable time in the evening, all work shall be laid aside; the remainder of the time, until family worship, to be spent either in the study of the Scriptures, and other lessons for the week, or as the Matron may direct. At 9 o'clock all the inmates will retire for the night, after which the lights shall be extinguished, and none allowed in the room afterward, except in cases of emergency.

4. No unnecessary work shall be done on the Sabbath; the religious services of the day shall be under the direction of the Chaplain and the Matron. At ten o'clock each member of the family is to be ready for public worship.

5. No friends or visitors can be allowed to see the inmates or hold any conversation with them, except by consent of the Matron, and then only in her presence.

6. No letters, books, or any thing can be received or sent out by any inmate, unless inspected and approved by the Matron.

7. No tobacco or intoxicating drinks of any kind shall be introduced into the house except by the direction of the physician.

8. Any one continuing to use profane or improper language must be expelled from the house.

9. During the continuance of each female in the house, she shall be considered as standing on her good conduct, and liable to be dismissed by the

Visiting Committee, whenever her deportment shall be unsatisfactory. In all particulars not specified in the preceding rules the will of the Matron is the law of the house, and no complaint shall be made respecting the government of the Matron except in her presence.

10. Every member of the family is required to yield a ready and constant obedience to the rules; and, in case of violating them, she may be censured in private or before the family, or deprived for a season of some of her comforts, at the discretion of the Matron. Aggravated cases of disobedience shall be reported to the Visiting Committee, who shall adapt the punishment to the crime.

The aims of the Mission are twofold. First, to rescue fallen women from the snares and temptations which surround and entangle them, with the hope of restoring them to virtue and to society. Secondly, to save their souls from spiritual death, by pointing out to them the symbol of Redemption, as their only refuge for this life and the life to come.

To accomplish these objects, Christian men go out upon the streets two evenings in the week, with cards of invitation and religious tracts, trying, by kind words and urgent appeals to conscience, to persuade these poor despised ones to forsake their evil ways, and to come to the Mission Rooms, where a kind reception awaits them, where Christian ladies lovingly welcome them, listen patiently and sympathizingly to the story of their wrongs and their confessions of guilt, offer them simple refreshments for the body, counsel them in their various difficulties, and draw them to that Saviour who never turns a deaf ear to the penitent.
