Mrs. Samuel Harris, the recording sec
rotary, reported much good rendered by
tho homo in providing place of rest for
worthy women who have been able to
earn their own living until through over
work or illness they have found them
selves in need of just such shelter as the
home. Says she: Gone woman who
came to US worn out and dreading to
receive SO much care, was strengthened
and refreshed and left us to resume her
work. Soon after she brought to
the home small sum of money which
she had collected and was pleased to give
it, SO thankful was she for what had been
done for her. There are now fifty-six in
mates in the home, twenty-four of whom
are children. Two of the boys have been
adopted by excellent people, and are very
happy in their new life." The Bible class
is still continued with Miss Grifing as the
efficient teacher, but the older children
now attend one of the Sunday schools,
greatly to their satisfaction. Only one OF
the family has been removed by death
during the year, and that one had reached
her four score years and ten. She had
been for long years faithful worker in
families in our. city. She died
in faith, and though great sufferer passed
away peacefully and left the memory of a
Christian life, being always grateful to
those who provided such quiet home for
her in her old age.
Of the Sc inmates II are old ladies over
rs years of age. Although the new wing
was intended for only ten, there are sew
enteen old women there. The managers
are hopeful within few months of being
able to open the attic of this new wing,
which would afford accommodation for six
moro old ladies. The attic is finished off,
and the cutting up into rooms and the fur
nishing would not exceed 81 900. There
is desire that the friends of the home
will start fund to be used for this pur-
pose. There are % children at the home,
all under II years of age. Lucy Grifing,
colored, 80 years Of age, died the past year.
Two boys have been adopted during the
year.
