THE TEMPORARY HOME POR SINGLE WOMEN
LEAPING THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE'S LYING-
ANMOSPITAL, MARYLEBONE ROAD.
--4---

The following appeal has been issued :—The seta,
blishmest of a temporary home, or plane of refuge, for the
fallen and destitute women discharged from the Queen Char-
lotte's Lyintin Hospital, is the Principal object of this
appeal. Them women receive their discharge at the end of
three weeks from the dam of their delivery. They are
generally unfit for active work, wretched and destitute, some
with the additional burden of a newborn child, and, bocce,
they are often driven to fresh sin and misery, and perhaps
to crime. The object of the "Home" would be to shelter
them until completely able to work, to give them an oppor.
Lenity of redeeming the put and of starting afresh ; above
all, to awaken them by religious influences to repentance
and amendment of life. To gain these sada, it is proposed.-
1. To receive a certain number of these women with
their children, as they here the hospital, for a period of one
month ; each woman to contribute, ae far as possible, to the
support of the home while she remains in it.
2. That suitable employment should he sought for those
who are able to work, means being taken, by registry, &c.,
to watch over their career after they leave the home.
3. That where practicable and advisable, the worst caws
should be transferred to penitentiaries.
1. To establish as infant home for the children of those
who may prove worthy of future usistence. The mothers,
is all such cases, to contribute towards the support of the
children.

5. To obtain the services of • visiting chaplain, who, in
conjunction with the lady superinterident, should ad-
minister religious instruction to the women.
It is justly urged as a strong motive for the establishment
of this home, that, duriog the time of oonvalearence the
vivid recollection of put danger and suffering, together
with the newly emplaned instinct of • mother, render
these women more alive to the voice of kindness, end,
it is hoped, to the voice of conacimus. It moat also be borne
in mind, that the women whom it is hoped to reach
do not belong to the more hardened clean of offenders,
otherwise they would not obtain admittance into the hos.
pital. Assistance is earnestly sought to raise • few of these
fallen ones. The seed, though small at the commencement,
nosy, through God's blessing, bring forth good fruit, "thirty,
sixty, a hundredfold."
The committee of the Queen Charlotte's Lying-ie Hospital
have approved the proposed institution, and promised their
cordial Do-operation. The services of • lady superintendent
h►ve been offered. As soon as sufficient foods mu be col-
lected, a suitable house in the neighbourhood of the hospital
will he taken, and the work begun. It is estimated that •
sum of at least 500/. will be requisite for the fint year's
expenditure, of which WO/. Isis been already promised.
Li-mations, and especially almost subscriptions, are ear-
nestly solicited for the work, and may be paid into the Cos-
polidweed Bank. Fenclurch-street, on account of the " Mag-
dalene Home," or to Mrs. Frederick H. Halbert. 6, Ches.
bum-street. Helgmve-equare, 8.W., to whom all communi-
cations respecting the home should be addressed.
