Children's Home Sooiety Wurk, it is

"Maaf people whae thav hear of
I'm H.4M
ours, somehow or other aeaociate in
their minds these Societies with or-
phan institutions or asylums. No
greater mistake could be made. Or-
phan asylums are Institutions whioh
receive and keep a number of chil-
dren, more or less, under the care of
a matron. They live together in one
place of residence, and while the
children, no doubt, are properly taken
care of and trained, yet they lack'the
greater advantages of dwelling in a
family home, and being under the fos-
tering and loving care of a mother.
Children's Home Societies under,
take to flod respectable family homea
for neglected and homeleea children,
where they have the comforts and
advantages of home life under the
care of foeter parents who soon take
to the children whom they receive
and adopt them ae their own, aod
who are kindly treated and trained
with every consideration and care
To speak, aa some do, of establiah-
ing in these days children's asylums,
ehows a lack of information of the
means for the proper oars of negieot-
ed children, whioh are now within
reach of all la this ooaatry.

"A gentleman in a western State
writes to another that he oontempiatea
starting an orphan aaylum and aeks
for information, and the letter haa
been sent to us for reply. We have
written him that the man who in the
light of today would caat a blot on
the philanthropy of the twentieth
century by opening an orphan asylum
should be confined in the oellar of U
for the full term of his natural life.
There is but one place that the Lord
intended children to be reared la, and
that ia the family home, and the oaaa
or woman who ia gnilty of depriving
them of their Inherent right commits
a crime againat innocent ehildran."
