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.
