HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providenco-row, Finsbury, E.C,

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
we, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has boon raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £A,IOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to tho really homeless, and food to the really
starring ? The smallest donation will be most welcome
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute xritli
bo offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and '',4l be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. Guams,..D.D., No, 22
