ANY persons into whose hands this little book will come '"'^'^ may ask, *' Who is the Compiler? What has he done ? " To this it is not right that he should give a detailed answer; but it ma}f be thought not inconsistent that I, as his friend, should say, in a few words, why thi's book is published, and what Mr. Bowman Steph^son is trying to accomplish by this and other nicai.s. ^ The accompanying sketch, written by a gentleman whose literary and Christian character may well free him from al! suspicion of bias, will inform the reader of the nature of the work to which Mr. Stephenson has devoted his life. But before he was led to work thus for the children, he was, as he still is, a minister of the Gospel, and earnestly engaged in Evangelistic efforts. Having received some education in music during his College days, he did not hesitate to use his musical ability for the cause of his blessed Master, and nearly ten years ago was the first man who " sang the Gospel" in England. Engaged at that time in con- ducting missionary work in one of the darkest neighbour- hoods in London, he was able, by singing and preaching, to gather together large audiences of working-men. Since that time he has found singing most helpful in many Christian enteri ises, and has been frequently called on to aid by this means evangelistic efforts. In some of the principal theatres A 2 h IV. Introduction. i and halls in London, he has sung and preached the Gospel to multitudes. During the remarkable movement associated with the names of Messrs. Moody and Sankey, he assisted by singing at several of the meetings. He has been asso- ciated, in like manner, with Mr. Aitken, the celebrated mis- sioner of the Church of England. And at the " Brighton Convention," where ten thousand people were in attendance, he was one of those who conducted the singing of the vast throng, by solo and chorus, making "meloHy unto the Lord." Generally, however, he has spent such days and weeks as he could snatch from his immedfete and urgent duties, in con- ducting evangelistic services, pressing music into the cause of Christ ; and in Newcastle, Bradford, Bolton, London, and many other great towns of England, he has had proofs of the power and value of this mode of doing good, in view of which he has not dared to refuse the many invitations that have poured in upon him. He is now about to visit America, and hopes to spend some weeks in preaching, singing, and holding meetings, to give information and excite interest on behalf of the work com- mitted to him by Divine Providence. Though he has been sustained by a most generous Committee, both in England and America, the chief burden of the organisation and manage- ment of the work, as well as of the gathering of money, has rested upon himself. During the last eight years, by God's blessing, he has received from various sources about 300,000 dollars; and the Children's Home now possesses property on both sides the Atlantic worth not less than 180,000 dollars. Nine hundred children have been received and benefited by Introduction. V. the Home. By the missions in connection with it many hun- dreds of children and adults have been brought under the influence of Christian truth, and extensive appliances have been elaborated for a still larger work in the future. Yet at this moment, there is absolutely no reserve in the treasury of the Institution ; and four hundred and fifty children are dependent on it daily for food, clothing, and education. Under these circumstances, Mr. Stephenson feels bound to bend all his energies to the support of this work; whilst, at the same time, he is glad to assist, as far as he may be able, any and every enterprise of true Christian philanthropy. Whatever he may receive from any source during liis visit to America, ivill be sacredly devoted to the support of the children ; for, as his income is derived from sources apart from the funds of the Home, he does not ask nor require any contribution for himself. He will, however, be thankful to be allowed to preach in any of the churches, or to hold meetings in halls, or other suitable buildings. He will be glad to preach or sing on behalf of Churches, Sunday-schools, or local charities; but in such case, he will expect that a contribution shall be made in support of the Children's Home. Mr. Stephenson is a minister of the Wesleyap-Methodist Church; but he has been accustomed to co-operate with many Christian denominations, and the broadly Christian character of his work is shown by its having received the public support of such men as the Bishop of Manchester, Dean Stanley, Canon Morse (of Not- tingham), Rev. W. Arthur, M.A., Mr. C. H. Spurgeon, Mr. Archibald G. Brown, Rev. Dr. Allon, Rev. Dr. Rigg, Right Hon. W. E. Forster, M.P., Sir Edmund H. Currie, Sir Charles 1 !! vi.

Mr. Stephenson will be ^lad, therefore, to preach or lecture in any Evangelical church for any enter- prise connected with that Church, or for his own work, as far as time and strength will permit. There are few missions in which the spirit of the Master is more lovingly enshrined, there are few which a clear-sighted political economy, as well as the tender human sympathy which makes all nations kin, would sooner or more heartily commend.

GUTHRIE tells a good story in one of his letters of the man- ner in which he once carried a point in favour of Ragged Schoo's before a hostile Committee : — "After me came the A.ttorney-General, who opposed the idea of sending out, as he chose to characterise my pioposition, "the scum of the country," to the cohjnies. This set up my h'wsc. I waited till he was done, then rose and gave him an answer. My finisher, the coup de grace, was furnished by a sheet of paper lying on the table before the chairman (the Duke of Manchester). Seizing it, I held it out before the meeting, by that time pretty well wrought up in sympathy with my- self, saying: ' This was once the scum which the gentlem;m charged me with wishing to introduce into the colonies — once foul, dirty, wretched rags. In it — now white as the snows of heaven — this gentleman (who spoke, I believe, in sheer ignorance of the subject) may see an emblem of the material we would send to the colonies, of the work our Ragged Schools have achieved.' So, tossing down the paper and bowing to the Duke amid the cheers of the audience, taken by surprise and manifestly pleased with this illustration, I left, thankful to God that I was readv-witted enough for the occasion ; the last words I heard as I left the room to scribble off this letter bei'it; : ' Well done, Guthrie !' " It was one of his happiest utterances : we too, say, "Well done!" but better done is the transforma- tion of " the scum " which has since been effected. In the spirit of this illustration, a great work has been accomplished within the last twenty years among the ragged children of London, the fruits of which are appearing in thousands of rescued and us.^ful lives scattered the world over. ORPHAN AND Ol'TCAST. 1 J 'II "The Cr.ildan's Home" is the nRtne borne by a group of buil(lirif;s in the Hast of London, in Donner-road, not f;ir from Victoria Pdik, a populous di^trirt too jprely : y^]v. .0 Sy the wealthy citi/tn-- of the West, it is noth orpiiana^e anG refuj,'e, but is liie v.entre ct a much iur^'er work, havin<; some pecuhaii- ties which deseive attention. Like many other institutions, It owes its orif^in to one man ; for happily the doors of Christian usefulness are open to all who will knock at them. In this work amonj; the ( ntcasts of our great cities, it is remarkable how little has been done l)y organisations, and how much by the patient labours of individual men whom God has called to the task by special circumstances, Mr. Stephenson, the founder of this Home, was brou^'ht as a minister from country duties to reside in tlie midst of London, and ei,i,'ht years ago or more iound hinibclf in Lambeth, in the neighbourhood of the notorious New Cut. " I soon saw little children," he says, " in a condition that made my heart bleed. There they were, ragged, shoeless, filthy ; their faces pincliLU with hunger, and premature wretchedness staring out of their too bright eyes; and I began to feel that now my time was come. Here were my poor little brothers and sisters, sold to inini^er and the devil, and I could not be free of tneir blood if I did not at least try to save some of them." Long before he liad been broug .t to the conviction that "the reiii^non which does not fathom the social deeps, and heal the social sores, cannot be Christ's religion." The work done by Immanuel VVichern at the Rauhe Haus Refuge, and by Theo- dore Fiicdner at the Kaiserswerth Institute, had especially inte- rested liim, and he had set himself to study the methods best adapted to English habits, in hop' ..at some day he might be able to apply them. A few friends were first consulted, and a beginning made, by way of "private venture." A house was taken that was little more than a cottage. "A stable at the back was made the dining-room and lavatory. The loft above became a dormitory, and the only playground was a patch some four yards square, with a gateway, meant for the passage ct a single cart. And this was workshop too !" But here they contrived to receive and shelter twenty poor lads. The work rapidly grew upon them, and in like proportion the means came in, so that week by week all debts were paid. A small com- miicee was formed ; and a year had hardly passed when the } up of r from ))' the efuge, uliuii- ons, it lisiian ' J work little )atient isk by >f this reside found s New )n that filthy ; ediiess 3l that rs and free of them." t " the eal the one by Theo- ly inte- Is best ight be , and a se was at the : above , patch massage re they e work IS came 11 com- len the I 7 10 ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. adjoininfi^ house was taken, and the number of boys under care increased to thirty-seven. The more that was accomplished, the greater seemed the need ; the applications for admission were soon too numerous; ch''dren were being turned almost daily from the doors, and beyond them and around them was a great world of wretchedness all untouched. Another effort was made, and premises at length found on the site of the present build- ings, which were adapted to the purpose, and gradually fitted to the still growing work. ■■'"•■ *■ "s;* ' -''-■ The institution has since developed into a wider field ; it has now a Certified Industrial School associated with it near Gravesend; it has a Farm Branch, near Bolton, in Lancashire; and it has a Reception Home in Canada. It has now four hundred and thirty-five children in residence in these four branches ; and it has sent forth four hundred to earn their living by honest labour. Mr. Stephenson is widely known as a Wesleyan minister, and his special work, gradually demanding his ahnos jxclusive attention, could not but be recognised with thankfulness by his brethren in the ministry. The Children's Home has therefore been adopted as a Methodist institution ; it makes its annual report to the Wesleyan Methodist Confer- ence, and Mr. Stephenson holds his place of right as Principal with the sanction of the Connexional authorities; but we believe it is the only Methodist institution so recognised, the committee of which is not wholly Metliodist; and the association with them of other experienced labourers on the same ground, such as Mr. John Macgregor, is pledge that denominational ends are lost sight of in the single aim to rescue and elevate these neglected children. They are received from all parts of the country, with- out any distinction of sect, and solely according to their need ; and they are trained in the knowledge of the Gospel that was. given to redeem and bless them, without any admixture of sec- tarian teaching. The work commends itself to the sympathy of Christians of every community, and it asks their practical sup- port. The sins and sorrows of the great world are reflected in the histories of these children. Not a few of them have been gathered from the streets ; all have been exposed to suffering or hardship of some kind. Other institutions show similar records ; but every individual life has its own pathetic story, t ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. II been I and every fresh case requires its own peculiar handling. No- thing can be less attractive to the eye, for example, than the appearance of some of these children when first brought under the influence of the Home; but this is the material, of which Dr. Guthrie spoke, that has to be wrought upon, and that often repays tenfold all the care bestowed upon it. Let Mr. Stephen- son's account of one case serve as an illustration of one aspect of the work that is doing: — " One night I had been out on a search-expedition ; and after visiting several likely places, but without success, I was moving homeward about one o'clock in the morning, with feet very weary and heart rather heavy. I came at length to the Mansion House, and was just turning up Threadneedle-street. . . . Just at the corner of the Bank of England stood a group of thiee boys, and a little farther on were two others. It was a strange and moving sight. There, of all places in the world, to meet five boys, as thoroughly heathen as any savages in Africa ! . . . I went up to them, and got into conversation with them. They told me many lies, and some truth. But this was plain enough : that they needed a friend and a home — some one to tell them of God, and to teach them a trade. So I offered them a supper, and took them to one of the very few eating shops that were still open. There they had as much to eat as they liked ; and then with one accord they came with me, through the silent streets and the now grey dawn, to the Children's Home. There they soon had a welcome; for at any hour of night or day, when God sends us a poor waif, we manage to open the door and spread a table for the famished and forlorn wanderer. The eldest of these boys, whom we will call ' Big Joe,' had been for a long time friendless, save for one brother, whom he saw occasionally. For months before I met Joe, he had been living by his wits — sleeping in low lodging-houses when he could get the money, and coiling himself in any temporary refuge when lie had not the necessary pence at command for a bed. His face was sullen and forbidding, yet now and then it would brighten up with the gleam of a kindly heart on it. And we did not despair, for what need is there that God's grace cannot meet ? So thinking that Joe's strong limbs would best be employed in subduing the earth, and that Joe's Bohemian instincts would be most likely to be tamed if he were sent to the quiet and regu- 12 ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. Idrity of country life, we despatched him to our Farm. It was hard work for our brethren there to love Joe, as they wished to do, and to bear with him, as they were often compelled to do. His sullenness, his waywardness, his selfishness were terrible to see. But at length the flow of his life became steadier; he wae less liable to those half-insane fits ; ^nd now and then, when the Bible was being read, or words of peace were being spoken, Joe's eyes, fixed upon the speaker, would tell that the Word was finding locigment. And at length the day came when I stood on the deck of the ship at Livsrpool, with Big Joe's hand in mine. What a contrast, that parting from •)ur first meeting! Now Joe was a strong, healthy-looking young man, with respectable clothes (partly paid for out of his own earnings), with a face from which the hang-dog look was gone — with the fear of God before his eyes. He was just about to put the broad ocean between himself and his miserable past. ... A few months afterwards I saw Joe in America, standing beside his master, an intelligent Christian farmer, who told me that Joe was doing well, and giving promise of a useful and respectable life." The School-boards are gradually overtaking the errant class of which this lad was a representative; nor should it be for- gotten that whatever the defects of the Poor Law, so much genuine philanthropy was never before engaged in its adminis- tration : but the wisest regulations will always need to be sup- plemented by voluntary zeal. No mere system can get hold of the roots from which these social evils spring. Take any group of children in these Homes, and causes will appear to have been at work which will continue to operate till the world is changed. In one of the first rooms we happen to enter an infant lies sweetly sleeping, unconscious of the dark shadows that encom- passed its little life : it has been rescued from a French baby- farm, having been deserted by both parents. In a crib close by lies another tiny child, screwing up its eyes in mimic sleep, saved from the death to which its mother had doomed it in a frenzy of shame and despair. Ask the histories of elder children ; sometimes poverty, sometimes misfortune, sometimes vice or crime has brought them there: causes for which no provision can be fully made, save that which God provides in the charity of others, and in His own free love. Two poor people, forced by necessity, take lodgings in a locality where I 1 • H X W n HI r o 73 M 52 c/T 5; O 'P > o > 2 PI > o X o ?3 H > JO so o r H O H OPPHAN AND OUTCAST. nobody would live who could pay the rent demanded in one more respectable ; they die, having by a desperate struggle kept out of the workhouse to the last, leaving behind two little boys. Many a thief in that notorious district would gladly have taken them under his training; ; but a kind neighbour, ready to help as only the poor help one another, took them in and shielded them. " Application was made at one of the noblest orphanages in the country ; but these children were so friend- less, that even the certificates as to the parents' past history, which were required by the rules, could not be obtained." They were taken into the Home, for it is a rule there ** that no tech- nicality shall ever be allowed to bar a child's entrance." In another case a tramp, whose living depended upon song-singing in public-houses, and on other things more questionable, wanted a sharp little boy to go the rounds with him, and to sing in tap- rooms. He found one, as he thought, suited to his purpose. The lad's mother gave him up, and claimed a pot of beer to clinch the bargain ! What would have been his fate in such an atmosphere, had he not found other friends, who brought him to the Home ? One little fellow, whose riiother was dead, and whose father was a drunken, depraved man, who deserted him, summed up his story in the few pathetic words : " When I went home at night he was gone ; then I did the best I could. I couldn't get into the room. The first night I walked about the streets ; then for a long time I slept in the dark arches." The father of another lad was a coiner, transported for seven years; and his mother, a hard-working woman, would save her boy from a like career. All cases, however, are not of this kind. For example, an honest Yorkshire postman is stricken down with fever, and his wife with him, and within a month of each other both are dead ; his scanty wages left no margin for the family, and nothing was before'them but the workhouse;, when, having respect for his character, and to " save these little ones from the great swamp of pauperism," two of the children were received into the Home. But why multiply such instances ? Not one of the eight hundred and sixty children who have passed under its influence but have had some claim to pity. There is nothing in the little terrace of houses fronting the Bonner-road to suggest a public institution t but the visitor who titers by the gateway at the end finds convenient and business- f I i i ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. 15 n in one truggle o little [y have Dady to in and noblest friend- story,'^' They o tech- In pmging wanted in tap- urpose. )eer to n such )rought dead, leserted V^hen I I could. )out the " The years ; ler boy is kind, n down of each for the ;< when, tie ones en were tances ? o have ty- ing the tor who jsiness- \fy looking offices on his right hand, and sees before him a small playground surrounded by buildings, some new, and others with the appearance of having been adapted to their use as the necessities of the work increased. There are no quadrangles, no long corridors, no prettiness of architecture, such as Mr. Peabody might delight in if building on new ground according to a preconceived plan. The signs of gradual growth are here, and of economical and ingenious adaptation to circumstances. Some of the new houses bear the names of special donors : one of these is called " Sunday-school House," having been erected by the contributions of Sunday-schools. We enter the houses ; the rooms are comparatively small ; the passages narrow; the staircases are cramped ; but a good ventilation is obtained, and cleanliness and order are the rule, although there are now two hundred and ten children sheltered here. There is this ad- vantage even in the res augusta donii, that the girls become accustomed to the economies of space, so necessary to comfort in most households. The family life is maintained as the strongest bond of the place. "Yours is the right plan," said Dr. Guthrie, shortly before his death ; •* God's way is not to bring up children in flocks, but in families." The idea is not always practicable, but is finding general acceptance wherever it can be freshly applied. Each house is complete in itself, with play-room, dining-room, and bed-roomso We cannot better describe the organisation that prevails than in Mr. Stephenson's own words: "In each house there is a group of twenty children, who, with the officers having charge of them, constitute a ' family.' To each there is a 'mother' — a Christian lady, who, for Christ's sake, tries to act a true mother's part towar^^ls the children. Besides, in each boys' house there are two or more young men who are engaged in various departments of service in the Home, or are being trained for some kind of Christian work [a few young men have entered here as their first preparation for the ministry], and act in the houses as elder ' brothers,' living with the boys and main- taining order. In the girls' houses the 'mothers' are helped by a younger Christian * sister,' who also is being trained for ser- vice in some sort of church-work. The family thus constituted live together, have their own family prayer, associate at meal- times and in play-hours; have their own special festivals, keep t6 ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. birthdays, know each other by their Chiistian names, and, in a word, live as nearly as possible like any other large family. There is great value in this system. A thorough knowledge of each child is obtained, which is almost impossible when a great number of children are massed together. A personal tie of affection and intimacy grows up between them, and discipline can be obtained with less of mechanical strictness, while allow- ing freer scope for the genuine child-life." The family principle also appears in the association of children of different years, as in ordinary horiie-life ; nor are the girls always strictly separated from the boys ; they not only meet in school, as it is found with some advantage to both sexes, but in some instances the little fellows enjoy something like sisterly care. Again, there is no attempt to preserve uniformity of dress ; the natural diversities of outside usage are allowed. ; .; It is in the intermingling of the families that the institution appears, and in common governing order. Every morning all meet in the chapel ; afterwards they gather in the school, or, according to their age, go to their several workshops or other duties. The morning service is arranged so as to secure variety, and yet to impress the memory. But this arrangement of morn- ing service by no means represents the full teaching of the week. A religious spirit pervades the place, and is the motive-power of all its training and instruction. Each case is watched, the indi- vidual conscience is dealt with ; and experience shows that no motives are so strong to elevate as those which the Gospel supplies, and no remedies so healing as the words and grace of Him who came "to seek and to save that which was lost." It was after school-hours when we looked into the long room dedicated to educational purposes; but the drum-and-fife band was then taking its lesson with a vigour and military precision that made the place ring again. The workshops are grouped together ; the carpenter's shop (where we saw an excellent idea in shaping, namely, little tables for the use of Sunday-school teachers, to stand in the centre of the class); the shoemakers' shop ; and the printing office ; in all of which work is done under competent teaching. There is also a wood-chopping yard, for less skilled hands. The girls have their work in the kitchen, the laundry, the book-binding shop, or the sewing- room.

There is abundant scope for the highest qualities of character and mind in work of this clas*?. As Mr. Stephenson wisely remarks, in the last Annual Report : *' Thoro'ugh devotion to Christ is a first requisite, implying such an habitual realisation of His presence as will prevent the work ever sinking into routine, but will perforce keep before the mind of the worker the spiritual results which are the great object of our work. And only second to this is needed a complete and habitual self- control, together with a quick eye for peculiarities of tempera- ment ; an almost boundless patience; and a loving sympathy, which no perversity or wilfulness or ingratitude on the part of» the children can tire out. Therefore it is a huge mistake to suppose that anybody, who may, have proved incompetent in any other walk of life, but who can wash a child's face or sew a button upon a child's dress, is fit for such work as ours. O-f all departments of educational work, there is none which makes a greater demand upon the highest moral qualities; nor is there any in which the breadth and refinement which mental culture only can give may be used to better advantage." This feature is among the most valuable in the establishment ; there are ladies among those who bear the office of matron who have come to their work from a strong sense of vocation, and who soften the hard lot of the children they tend with some of the rei'inements of more cult'vated homes ; and in other departments the same superiority of character is sought and maintained. All the officers appointed pass through a special course of reading and training. Common sense and the homely virtues count for much in this work; but what a sphere for educated woman is there yet unoccupied in the wide fields which these refuges, reformatories, and orphanages ha\-e opened ! The Lancashire Farm, which consisted of seventy-six acres, and was the gift of a friend, who has since secured to it the use »J thirty acres additional, is conducted on the same principles. It takes time to accustom the denizen of city streets to its more solitary life and rural ways ; but its training often opens to him a new career. There are now one hundred and five lads at work i ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. 19 icres, e use iples. more I him work in its fields. The Industrial School at Milton, near Gravesend, is under similar rule; but it is certified, and so brought under Government inspection, and it receives a certain proportion of boys brought under control by the compulsory provisions of the Education Act. One hundred and twenty-five boys are already in residence. .2 1 From the various branches about four hundred and thirty children have gone forth into the world, to fill various situations, and, with very rare exceptions, they are doing credit to themselves and to the Home. Of these two hundred and seventy-five have been brought to Canada, and placed in situa- .. tions here. The Canadian friends of the movement have purchased a house at Hamilton, Ontario, to be used as a distribating Home, and is a centre from which a kindly over- sight of the children might be kept until they were able to stand alone in life. The Canadian Home consists of very excellent . premises, the whole cost of which has been about 12,000 dollars, and of this about 9,000 dollars have been contributed by friends i in Canada. There are on the property a good house, a cottage, C and a large wooden building, which can be used as a reception house when the parties of young emigrants arrive. Mr. R. Riley is the Governor in charge of the Canadian Branch of the ■^ Work; but this, like the English Branches, is under the general r; direction of Mr. Stephenson, who is Principal of the whole Institution. The first party of children came to Canada in 1873 ; successive parties have followed at various times, until two . hundred and seventy-five in all have been placed upon Canadian soil. The success of this work has been most encouraging. The ex- ceptions to the good conduct of the children have been very rare : whilst in some cases there has been success of the most gratifying kind. For reasons which will be understood by every thoughtful reader, we do not specify instances. Suffice it to say, that some of the children have been adopted, and are growing up happily in their ' foster-families : some of them are valued as trusty and attached helpers; and a considerable number of the older ones have already gained a position of independence and thorough respect- ability. They are perhaps the most valuable emigrants that come to this country. Trained carefully, for a period which averages nearly three years, before they come, they are better ' 'i B 2 \ , ,, 1 m ORPHAN AND OUTCAST. 21 M w& m r li tti - Bi 'i wK able to appreciate the advantages of their position in this thriving community, and to reward the patience and care and kindliness which may be shown towards them by their employers. At the same time, they are young enough to form local attachments, and to become thoroughly identified with the country of their adoption. Best of all, a considerable number of them are mem- bers of various Christian Churches, and are illustrating by their consistent conduct the Gospel they have been taught with so much care. We are confident that the more Canadians examine the character of this work, the more convinced will they be of its value to the Dominion, and the more ready will they be to acknowledge that it has a strong claim on their sympathy and liberality. It is earnestly hoped that during Mr. Stephenson's present visit to America the balance of 3,000 dollars yet to be raised foi the purchase of the Canadian Home will be obtained. Mr. Stephenson does not seek for himself any advantage whatever. The entire proceeds from the meetings he holds, and the profits on the sale of the " Songs of Christian Life and Work," will be given to this object ; and if any person is disposed to assist by a contribution, such contribution will be thankfully received by W. E. Sanford, Esq., Treasurer, I Hamilton; Or by Rev. T. Bowman Stephenson, B.A,, The Children's Home, Main Street East, Hamilton, Ontario. SONGS OF CHRISTIAN LIFE AND WORK. I h a I KNOW HE IS MINE. I.
