MISSIONS IN ROTHERHITHE AND POPLAR.

The Society has just opened two new Mission centres in these thickly populated and very poor parts of London. A suitable house has been secured in each locality: the rent of one is guaranteed by friends for the first year; the rent of the second (50%) we are anxious should be raised. Furniture, or donations towards the same, also needed. In All Saints' District, Rotherhithe, it is proposed to build a Mission Room, and Workmen's Coffee-house and Kitchen, at a cost of 700l. The Christian Knowledge Society will give 100l. Other donations are requested. There is no room in the whole district which can be used for school or parish purposes.

Address, Miss Helen Wetherell, 27 Kilburn Park Road, N.W.
Will kind friends give a Harmonium to each Mission?

CHRISTMAS NUMBER OF "OUR WORK"

Will be ready December 7.

Friends may do good service to our cause by purchasing the Christmas Number in large quantities for distribution, or to send to friends instead of Christmas Cards or other gifts. Can be had of any bookseller, price 1s. or 10s. per dozen. If ordered direct from the Manager, 6 Paternoster Row, or Miss Thomas, 27 Kilburn Park Road, N.W., 9d. each or 8s. per dozen.

A CONVALESCENT HOME FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE VERY POOR. At Broadstairs, in Kent, a large Seaside Home for sickly children from the streets and lanes of London and other large towns, as well as from hospital wards, has just been commenced. A crying need for such an institution, conducted on a large and liberal scale, has long existed. This is proved by the hundreds of applications received by the 'Church Extension Association' for the admission of little sufferers into the small temporary house hitherto occupied.

We earnestly call upon all who love and pity sick children to come forward and aid us with this great undertaking. Will not some one undertake the expense of a ward, or of some other part of the house, or found a permanent free bed in our new Hospital?

All particulars given and contributions thankfully acknowledged by the Secretaries,* Miss Helen Wetherell, or Miss A. M. Thomas, 27 Kilburn Park Road, from whom penny and shilling collecting-cards, collecting-boxes, and circulars can be procured.

TEMPORARY SEASIDE HOME.

Very urgent are the applications received to admit sickly children to the two small houses that we rent for the purpose of a Seaside Home at Broadstairs. The institution has for its object the relief of poor children recovering from severe illness, or suffering from disease brought on by poverty and neglect, and requiring for its removal the benefits of pure air, nourishing food, and sea-bathing. Every annual subscriber of One Guinea is entitled to send a child free for three weeks, and this includes washing and travelling expenses one way. The

* In consequence of the rapid extension of the Society it has become necessary to enlist the services of a second Secretary. Strangers are requested to communicate with Miss Helen Wetherell.

charge to non-subscribers is Seven Shillings per week; travelling and laundry expenses

extra.

As the Home is entirely dependent upon voluntary contributions for its support, subscriptions and donations are most earnestly solicited. Address Miss Eleanor Paget, 5 Wrotham Crescent, Broadstairs, or The Secretary of the C. E. A., 27 Kilburn Park Road, London, N.W.

THE ORPHANAGE OF MERCY.

This Home receives workhouse children, who have lost both parents, without payment of any kind. Entire destitution is the only necessary condition of admission. The present building is now full, and applications for the admission of homeless and friendless little ones are received daily. Five Thousand Pounds are required to finish another wing, now partly built, capable of holding One Hundred more Orphans.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ORPHANAGE OF MERCY.

There are now 170 Girls in the Home. The cost of each is estimated at £12 per annum. Who will adopt a child-that is, pay her expenses and show a friendly interest in her in other ways? These children are the very poorest in England. Many have never known what it is to be loved or cared for. Others amongst them have had fond parents whose last moments have been cheered with the assurance that their little ones would find ready admission into this free Home. Can there be an institution more deserving of sympathy and liberal support?

Subscriptions and donations, both large and small, are asked for England's helpless Orphans. Sums of any amount will be received and acknowledged by the Secretaries-Miss Helen Wetherell and Miss A. M. Thomas, 27 Kilburn Park Road, London, N.W.

THE CHILDREN'S FREE BREAKFAST FUND.

More than seven hundred poor children are supplied each Sunday morning with a free breakfast, consisting of a mug of hot tea and a large currant roll. The sum of 10s. will provide a breakfast for one poor child throughout the year. No teaching is of much avail to a starving child, and it is hopeless to expect our London gutter children to come to school on Sunday morning on an empty stomach. All who can afford it are invited to assist in the teaching and feeding of these little ones by the annual gift of the above small sum. The schools have now been established several years, and they have been the means of leading many to CHRIST. Several hundreds have been brought to Baptism and Confirmation, and constantly we have been told by the scholars that they have been kept from bad ways because they could not forget the lessons they had therein been taught.-The Secretary, 27 Kilburn Park Road, London. MISSION TO SAILORS AND LABOURERS AT THE LONDON DOCKS. Those who take a special interest in our seafaring and Docks population are requested to help the Food Mission started for their benefit. Subscriptions towards the hot food supplies sold at a nominal cost to the unemployed and starving labourers who throng the approaches to the London and St. Katherine's Docks are earnestly asked for. Also 10l. to erect another 60-gallon steam boiler now needed for the extra cooking.

The Restaurant is crowded with sailors of every nationality, as well as labourers, factory hands, &c., and is a great boon to the neighbourhood.

Subscriptions and donations, also gifts of vegetables, fruit, flowers, groceries, books, illustrated papers, &c., &c., may be sent to Miss Julia Strange, St. Katherine's, 42A Dock Street, E.; or to the Secretary of the C. E. A., 27 Kilburn Park Road, N.W.

WINTER RELIEF FUND FOR THE SICK AND STARVING.

We have again opened our fund for Winter Relief; and, during the cold months of December, January, and February, shall be thankful to receive contributions, large or small, towards Invalid Dinners, Breakfasts and Dinners for Destitute Children, Soup Kitchens, Industrial Societies, &c., &c. Address, Miss A. M. Thomas, or Miss Helen Wetherell, 27 Kilburn Park Road, London, N.W.

FOREIGN MISSION FUND.

The destitution and squalor of many of our Church and Mission Chapels in the Colonies and heathen lands would hardly be credited by those who are accustomed to worship in our beautiful English Churches. The Church Extension Association makes free grants to poor Foreign Missions, of books, surplices, altar linen and Church needlework generally, Communion Plate, and other Church furniture. Donations and small Annual Subscriptions are asked for this. Clergy and Churchwardens are also pressed to forward anything they can spare in the way of hangings, altar cloths, carpets, linen, surplices, cassocks, alms-bags, altar-plate, &c., &c., however worn, old, or faded, for further use in Foreign Missions. Ladies are begged to send in their names as workers of altar linen, &c. Communications relating to this Branch of the Society may be sent to The Secretary, Mrs. Haig, 27 Kilburn Park Road, London, N.W.

THE NEW PARISH MAGAZINE: 'THE BANNER OF FAITH.'

Who will help with the publishing expenses of this Periodical-the object being to offer it at the lowest price possible to the Clergy for localising? Subscriptions towards a free Banner' Fund (to supply the Magazine at a reduced rate to Missionaries) also requested.—Address, The Editor, 6 Paternoster Row, London, E.C.

NOTICE.

We are much in want of two Small Cottage Pianos for School and Mission purposes. Will any one who has such an instrument-which, perhaps, has finished its work in a schoolroom, and is now disused-kindly forward it to either of the following addresses ?— The Sister Elizabeth, care of Mrs. Hawes, S. James' Schools, Finsbury; or

The Sister Ellen, 445 East India Dock Road, Poplar.
