 A Lamp in the Window
A Centennial History of the Syracuse Rescue Mission, 1887-1987
By Richard F. Palmer and Henry W. Schramm
"The closing of the Mission did not go unnoticed. A Post-Standard editorial of Sunday, May 2, 1920, urged
that the Mission be continued. The writer said, 'The closing of the Rescue Mission is a tragic ending of
hope fulfilled and a shame upon us for our failure to understand and be interested. For a third of a century the
mission has been a lamp in the window of Christian hospitality and comfort for the discouraged and disconsolate,
the homeless and hopeless, the bum and the hobo and down and outer.'"
