TO CHRISTIAN LADIES SEEKING WORK FOR CHRIST

Wanted, at the Village Home, Barkingside, Ilford, a number of earnest-minded Christian ladies, willing for the Master's sake to devote themselves as "Mothers" of cottages, to train­ing the young inmates for useful and indust­rious lives. Applicants must be strict total abstainers, attached members of some evan­gelical body, and have had experience in the management of domestic affairs.

Board, laundry, and comfortable apart­ments, without salary, are offered to all; but candidates having no private means of their own will be given a small yearly sum to provide for clothing, etc. Three weeks' holiday at Midsummer and one at Christmas are arranged for; and once in six weeks each "Mother" has leave of absence from Saturday till Monday.

To Christians in good health, and without family ties of their own, this work presents a useful sphere of real service for the Lord. Apply by letter only, giving full particulars, stating age, church connection, past experience, etc., to Mrs. Barnardo, 18 Stepney Causeway, London, E.
