" That the neglected condition of many children still to be found on the streets and in common lodging-houses of all large oities, and in other places, is fraught with danger to the best interests of society, and calls for renewed efforts in order that by legislation and other means, the evil may be diminished.

These Resolutions were adopted unanimously, after which the children of all the Homes assembled, to whom special addresses were delivered by Rev. Julius Lloyd, Messrs. Richard Johnson, Henry Beales, and Thomas Jackson, the usual votes of thanks closing the proceedings. 1 ' I r I I ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1880.

AT the close of the eleventh year of the operations of the Boys' AND GIRLS' REFUGES AND HOMES, the Committee are thankful to be able to record that the Institution in its various branches is in a state of thorough efficiency; and " Work on, work on, nor doubt nor fear, that its operations throughout the year have been attended with a considerable amount of success, and, they would From age to age this voice shall cheer ;­ trust, of blessing. Whate'er may die and be forgot, The year which closed in January has, like those which Work done for GOD, IT dieth not." preceded it, been one of extension. At our last anniver­ Old MS. sary the Institution numbered nine establishments, but shortly afterwards a friend (after going all round the work and seeing what was being accomplished; seeing also that each Home was full) voluntarily placed in our hands the amount required to establish another Orphan Home. This Home was opened on June 4th by the Bishop of Manchester, so that this year we have to chronicle TEN HOMES as composing the Institution. The Central Refuge, Strangeways. Four Homes for Working Lads in Broughton. Four Homes for Little Orphan Boys in Cheetham. And One Girls' Home, Broughton-lane. EACH HOME BEING FULL.

As an evidence of this it was with much thankfulness that we received a few we"eks .back a cheque for £50. from a lady, "Proceeds of a Sale of Work, held i'n our drawing.room, for the benefit of .t4o Boys' and Girls' Refuges and Homes." Until the meeting held in this drawing-room, about twelve momhs ago, these good and kind friends knew very little of our Institution. The meeting then held brought very practical results, and since then the above fact is a proof that the interest is being sustained.

HOW TO HELP THE WORK! Write to " The Secretary," Frances-street, Strangeways, for a Collecting Box! And collect what you can, by December 31st. We have very pretty boxes whioh would not disgrace any dining-room or hall table. Or, if you prefer, . Ask for a Collecting Card! And one will be sent by post; we have them specially prepared, and some friends who desire to collect small sums make very good use of them. Or, If you think you can COLLECT £12. in the course of the yoar, write to the Secretary ancl he will send you the photograph of au Orphan or Homeless Child.. It would be a happy thing to feel that you were the means of supporting a poor fatherless one in our Homes. Or send us ANY ARTICLE THAT YOU CAN SPARE, and that can be turned into money for the benefit of our work; such as jewellery, pictures, articles of vertu, &c. LAST, nUT NOT LEAST, when you see, or hear of, a poor wretched neglected child, don't give it a copper and pass on; stay a minute and enquire into the case, and if you cannot bring it to the Refuge, send us the name and address, and the case shall be visited, and if possible permanently helped. And, ABOVE ALL, when enjoying the comforts of your own happy home, broathe a prayer for the poor homeless children, and for .. those who are working amongst them. CRAS.
