The work has proved a blessing to Canada as
well as a blessing to England, and those engaged in it should receive
hearty encouragement on both sides of the Atlantic.
"--Yours faithfully,
"T. J. CLAXTON.
"MONTREAL, _July 1st, 1881._"
Miss Macpherson writes after Lord Dufferin's visit to the Galt Home:--
"His lordship said, 'We meet your children everywhere, and they are
so happy; we have crossed the ocean with them, and even last night
where we were slaying we were waited upon by one of your boys as a
page,--he did it well too.'"
STEWARDSHIP.
May Miss Macpherson's solemn words on stir up many to follow her
self-denying efforts, and may the same blessing attend them.
"Since 1868, we have been receiving the love offerings of the Lord's
almoners, and under the direction of two auditors and a public
accountant, a yearly balance sheet has been issued. To the praise of
the Lord who knoweth the needs of the destitute ones we have sought
to help, we have not been permitted to contract a debt, or been left
in want of bread or clothing at any time. Our faith has been
frequently proved, at times for days, and at others for years. Yet
our 'God is love,' and we are in His own wondrous school, and bow to
every trial.
