1877 garments have been given away, 81
individuals admitted to the Home. Is dis
missed, leaving 25 inmates. The health of
the family has very mnch improved, ex-
cept one boy who is very much worse. We
do not expect him to cease from suffering
until he is removed to that Golden City
where the inhabitants never say l am
sick, where he shall feel no more PAIN
The remaining children are all well, and
require. the usual amount of care.l Any
lady will appreciate what that care
| is, when she is told that 10 of
those -children--are under. b years e. of
age, and 10 from = 8 to 10 years.
| We have still an older class, who come
in for short time. Of these, one or two
short histories may be interesting, and will
serve to show how much good may be ac-
complished in this line of charity. The first
is a girl ofsixteen winters tshe has had no
summers whose mother she has not known
for twelve years, and now has no father.
She had been working for her board. and,
thinking she must have clothes as well as
food, sine started out to look for work.
Weary and fOotIsore, some one sent her to
the Home, so discouraged and out of heart
that she could not tell her story for weep
ing. Words of sympathy and encourage
ment seemed to have lost all their power to
soothe or comfort her. They told her to
stay at the Home until place could be
found for her. The same day lady came
seeking girl. and was advised to take the
homeless wanderer. She did so, and very
soon the poor girl seemed like another per-
son, thus showing what a little care and
much kindness will do for poor, neglected
girls Another hard case was Rosa Fisher.
She was rescued by Mrs. Bates from Jail,
and remained at the Home until she could
be sent to aahouse of reform, where an ops

her.
But the most touching thing of the
month was the bringing in of three father
less little ones under four years of age, two
of them twins, brought by pale, sickly
mother. Only think of three helpless
children clinging to you, their bright eyes
dimmed with tears, and looking piteously
into your eyes and asking every few mo-
ments, "When will my ma come back?"
and you felt that the children's tears were
not to be compared to the anguish that
wrung the mothers heart. But necessity
knows no lawand has no mercy. But we
are forgetting the financial department.
| Well, we have not much to say about mon
ey.r matters. AT the commencement of the
month the financial horizon looked dark
and lowering, but as time wore on things
began to wear more encouraging aspect,
| so that at the end of the month we, by the
goodness of God and the liberality of
friends, find ourselves possessed OF more
money than at the beginning, and we feel
encouraged to obey the Scripture. ipjunc-.
tion,, Trust in the Lord and do good" and
we have faith in the promise, so shalt thou
dwell in the land, and, verify, be fed.'E y
! We only say that second hand clothes,
eatables and money are very much needed
at the Home, and will be duly appreciated.
