FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass th©
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 aro admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager etc.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhavo
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, .E 2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO 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 broad 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 the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, tho prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will bo
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No 22,
