Thanks to Mr. George Smith, tent and barge are becoming alive to the
teaching of the Gospel; and soon, we hope, the Testament or tract
will be legible by all their long-neglected inmates. At present,
comparatively few, of the seniors especially, can read them.
Nevertheless, we will scatter the seed far and wide, convinced that it
will bring forth fruit if sown to enlarge and to sustain the kingdom of
our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
EDUCATIONAL.
MAUD BELIN.—You do not say whether you have been trained as a nurse.
Write to the secretary, Nightingale Fund, H. B. Carter, Esq., 5,
Hyde Park-square, W., or to the secretary of St. Mary’s Hospital,
Paddington, giving full information.
B. K. I. O.—We never heard of lady clerks being employed at the Law
Courts, but in America we hear that women are in full practice as
lawyers.
MOTHERLESS JEAN’S writing shows her to be very young, and so do
her questions. 2. Where does she live? How could we give her the
information she requires about the Kindergarten, not knowing that, when
she says, “she cannot leave home”?
PSYCHE.—If you be going in for “hard reading,” as you say, you had
better look out for a Lemprière’s Classical Dictionary to teach you
something about mythology. Your questions are too many and long.
QUI POSSE VIDETUR POTEST.—Copying is only to be obtained by the
personal inquiry and exertions of those who require it. Your writing
does not appear good enough.
COMPLEX.—We recommend you to apply direct to the secretary or matron
of the Holloway College for the prospectus, and ask for any further
information you require as to Government clerkships. Look through our
answers under the heading “Educational,” and you will soon find the
particulars you require.
ANNIE B.—We have read your thoughtful and well-expressed letter with
much interest, and we think as long as you are of use at home you are
where God needs you, for in our service we do His will the best. But,
as your education has been a little neglected, a certificate will be
valuable to you, and you will be happier in the feeling that you are
doing something to improve yourself for future work. We should advise
you to go in for the examination of the College of Preceptors, fee
10s.; secretary, 42, Bloomsbury-square, W.C.
COPY CAT.—We mention with pleasure the correspondence class conducted
by Miss Pearce, Ledwell House, Steeple Aston, Oxon, for English
history and literature. We regret that it is little known, or would
have been named in the manual of girls’ clubs of an educational
character and otherwise, just published (Messrs. Griffith and Farran,
St. Paul’s-churchyard, E.C.), compiled by one of our writers for the
benefit of a large number of our girls who are inquiring about them.
