The work of the Mission Homes in Paris had been begun by a very small and apparently feeble instrumentality, one which was made strong by faith and sustained by the power of prayer. The Bishop then sketched the work in its different branches, each of which was a centre of active benevolence. The workers were chosen women, who had toiled long and lovingly, without hope of a reward.

Not infrequently girls who have been in situations in Paris, and attended our classes at some of the various Institutions there, but have come back to England through ill-health or family causes, call to ask if we know of a suitable situation in London. Though we have not a Registry Office, we have lately been able to find a Christian mistress for a young person who through a singular experience has been brought out of much error into the glorious light of the Gospel.

It was our privilege to establish a Bible-reading on Sunday afternoons during the winter months, for servants and young women in business. A Hall near to our Home was most kindly placed at our disposal, with the conveniences of gas and fires, free of all charge, by the trustee. A lady who heard of it volunteered to assist at the harmonium, and thus render the singing more attractive. Not a few testified to blessing received, and regarded the class as an answer to secret, individual
