LOVES HIS FELLOWMEN.
Mgr. Nugent, of Liverpool, Arch.
bishop IreIand's Guest.


The noted prelate, Right Rev. Mon
signor Nugent, of Liverpool, England
is visiting Archbishop Ireland. MIR.
Nugent came across the water to at
I tend the meeting of the British asso-
citation at Toronto.
Mr. Nugent gave an interesting &C
count of the charitable work which he
is conducting in Liverpool. He said:
"All the institutions in which 1 am
interested are fiourishing and doing
good work for humanity. Fhe home
for boys who are destitute is getting
on spIendidly We teach the youth to
be Industrious and upright men. They
all learn trades and many fine and
noble men have gone out from that
institution.
In the refuge and shelter for fallen
women. 152 were admitted in SO and
1,745 were afforded a nights lodging,
who would have otherwise have to
seek shelter on the streets This in
stitution is self-supporting through
the labor of the inmates. There is
a steam laundry in connection with
the refuge where every kind of work
is done in a finished and perfect man
ner. Poor women. sick and tired Of
the lives they have been leading, Sc
cure admission without passing
through the trying formalities required
by some institutions. Many resolu-
ton to do better fails before the bar
riers of official regulations. A crushed
and broken spirit that is sinking into
despair by the GOODNESS of the worlds
Indifference needs help and ready SYM
pathy to regain the right path.
"Since l was here last 1 have estab-
lished another Institution for mothers
and their babies. One of the evils OF
the age is that any poor, unfortunate
girl Who through misfortune some
times more than depravity may be-
come mother, is driven into the world
and does not find the least sympathy
in her terrible condition.
my life work gave me an oppor-
tunity of knowing something of the
terrible straits to which this class of
girls were reduced. Girls, who loathed
life of infamy, were often driven to
the streets to maintain themselves and
their infants. Girls in their despair
often adopted all kinds of means to de-
stroy their children and to cover their
shame. 1t had been my desire for
twenty-five years to open refuge, an
asylum, for this class, and at length
have been able to do it, and the prac-
teal experience of a few months has
not only convinced me of it's necessity,
but of it's usefulness.
IT have taken a large mansion in a
favored locality on the banks of the
Mersey, situated in the heart of twelve
acres of land. There 1 take the mother
and her child, and make it an absolute
condition that the mother must re-
main in the institution with the child
for twelve months to nurse and work
for it. Thus the mothers love for her
child is developed and strengthened
and a responsibility for it's future
daily fostered. 1t is open to all classes
irrespective of creeds-as is the refuge
for fallen women-the only condition
| imposed being that the inmates comply
with the rules of the house. It is
known as the House of Providence,
and is destined to carry out all that
the word Providence means
Mgr. Nugent will occupy the pulpit
