Home for Children.
On the edge OF a cliff at Tynemouth
Northumberland. on the English coast
stands an old-fashioned. white-washed house
that has n history. 1t overlooks a little
bay and u promontory on which the hSht-
house stands, the north sea dashes against
thc rocks "A hundred feet below ana at
ebb tide leaves a little cove OF golden SAND,
which is a never ceasing pleasure to the
inmates of the house.
Ahout two wears ago an English woman,
Miss Atkinson, rented this house. which was
in very dilapidatei condition, repaired,
rnpouernd and repainted it at large cost
until the whole house was made bright
and delightful little home and she calls 1t
"Childrcn's COnvalescent Home. She
manages and pays for it entirely herself
and takes great interest in it.
She can only receive ten children into her
family at one time, but it is an ever chang
ing family and as fast as one set gets
we'll another comes. Three weeks is the
usual time she thinks best to fix for their
stay. The bedrooms are large, bright and
airy. the healthful sea air coming in at
every window. There are ten little iron
cribs painted bright red They are always
full and would be if there were ten times
the number. The playrooms are bright.
sunny and full Of toys and a happy band
of children greet the visitors to this home.
The children are kept 1T the home as
long as Miss Atkinson considers she can d.
them any good or help the helpless ones
and those who have very miserable homes =.
Since the home was opened in June, 1891,
152 children have been received and cared
for.
What noble work this woman is doing
Eternity alone will reveal all the good from
such 4 source and how many women Of
wealth could do likewise; many whose tai
ents are buried in Il napkin could have
doubled them in good works and could have
heard as this good woman will, the welcome
piaudits of the Master: well done, thou
good and faithful servant"
