The Home of Industry has been already likened to the Pool of
Bethesda with its fine porches. Many sights there have been peculiar
to itself, and in no instance has this in past years been more
remarkable, than in the meeting for Jewesses, which has been carried
on ever since the year 1870. From fifty to seventy daughters of
Israel are gathered weekly, through the Lord's blessing on the
patient, unwearied labours of his honoured servant Mrs. Way. Greatly
indeed should she be honoured, for she diligently sought out these
lost sheep, when few comparatively could be found to "care for their
souls." When first told of "the name at which every knee shall bow,"
much scorn and contempt were manifested, but Mrs. Way is now cheered
by many signs of the Spirit's work, and when a hymn of praise to the
"Crucified One," is heard from the inner hall on the ground floor,
visitors may be startled to know the voices are those of Hebrew
mothers.
