Dear M. B. Friends:
There came upon the piazza one after
noon last summer bright looking young
fellow who had package OF papers in his
hand. He passed me paper, at the same
time remarking that as he was down this
way for a short time he had come into
town to secure subscribers.
said, "0h, you are from Good Will
Farm, for the copy held In my hand was
a Good VIII Record. He replied that he
I said, There were two OF that name at
the farm, and his face lighted up as he re-
sponded, ~ guess you know something
about Good Will Farm.
Now perhaps you all know something
about Good Win Farm, but it is subject
and an object in which have been inter-
ested for years and thought 1t might not
be amiss to give a little space to it in our
column.
Our motto represents the spirit and pur-
pose of the Good viii enterprise. 1t was
begun as home for homeless boys by Rev,
G. w. Hinekiey about twelve years ago.
Good Will cottage was opened to boys
Sept. 1, 1889. Fifteen boys were received
and the first home was established. The
work has grown SO rapidly that on
Sept. /, 1901, ninety boys and thirty girls
have homes in the various cottages. The
Good VIII Farm for boys consists OF $50
acres. l noticed in the November Record
this item:
Good Wills ost crop Is not as large as usual
this year-4Ss bushels. Her potato crop is the
best In her history-9a5 bushels.
On the boys farm there are six cottages,
school building and chapel. The Good
Win homes for girls are situated about a
mile from the boys homes, both of which
are at East Fairfield, about nine miles
north of Wsterville. The girls homes
embrace tract of land of lbs acres. There
are two cottages and a fine educational
building.
The work is undenominational and is
dependent for existence and support upon
voluntary contributions, with the excep-
ton of the income from a small fund and
small sums paid for individual boys and
girls by friends. The subscription price
OF the Record is so cents year, and any
letters may be addressed to Rev. G. w,
Hinckley, East Fairfield, Maine.
The good work being done through this
opening of homes to those who need the
influence and protection and help there
bestowed upon them, can never be esti-
mated. Anything and everything neces-
sary to the maintaining of a home is
acceptable at the Good viii farms-table
linen, bed linen, clothing, mittens, stock
ings. l wonder IL the M. BIS cannot do
something between now and Christmas
for this cause.
We will not forget the Home Sunshine
department, either. Cannot "Aunt Dor
cas-" or "Janet", or some other good sister,
devise way whereby we can give mutual
help to these societies in which some of us
are personally interested. know of read
ers of this column who are planning and
hoping to send barrels of needed articles
to the southern field. Can it be possible |
that there are persons in the world who
see no place in which to lend helping |
stretched out TO them in mute appeal;
nothing to do, while the sympathetic |
workers are powerless to answer all the |
demands upon theshearts, their time and |
their purses?

This recipe is from celebrated cook in
one of thu best New York bakeries. He
was asked why 1t was that their custard
pies had that look of solidity and smooth
ness that homemade pies have not. He /
