Sweet fairy bells"
| Judge T. A. Gaskill was the first
speaker. He had been interested in
the Home for many years, and was
extremely grateful to the originatore
of the society for the sweet name they
had given 1.-THE Children's Friends
Society that SO aptly characterized
its serene and pure purposes.
There is a vast difference between
charity and Christian charity. All
charity is grand and noble; but the last
was best.
We should be grateful that our work
is private ministration rather than
a public burden. To believe the best
results in charity, the mind and heart
must be touched as well as the body.
ours Is home, not an institution
and 1t deals with the formative period
OF life. The rewards of our work are
health and purity, and the percentage
OF failure is less than in any other
charity. Our dividends are great and
grand; and it is a grand reflection to
think of the good that has come 10
worcester by the work of this society
In the past 80 years.
Dr. G. F. Hodge of Clark University
expressed his interest in the Home, and
congratulated the society on its WORK.
Nothing" said he, "in child education
stands out more in the truth Of proph-
ecy than this-'a little child shall lead
them. Their ways are inscrutable.
They learn more in the first three wears
OF childhood than in the 30 years that
follow. If we could learn how we
would discover the fountain of youth.
But 1t only shows the great value Of
ton.
IF a child is kept clean and honest
till he is three, he is half safe. If till
nine, he is safe for life. Any expendi-
ture after that time gives dispropor-
Tomato rewards. He advocated larger
Fairgrounds and gardens for the chill
dren.'
Interesting remarks were made by
Rev. e. M. Chapman, u. I. Conains
