Church of England Incorporated I Society for Providing Homes for Waifs and Strays. MEETINGS AT RHYL. Sermons were preached on Sunday on behalf of the North Wales Fund, by the Rev J C Brindley (Clerical Secretaryfor the North Western District) at St John's Church in thj morning, and at St Thomas' in the evening. In the afternoon an address to children was delivered at the latter church. The offertories amounted to nearly £ 6, and the decrease this year is due to the fact that it was decided to deduct the average offertory at the churches morning and evening, but the whole offertory at the children's service was given. On Monday afternoon the Rev F Grcsvonor Monro addressed a meeting for children at Colet House, by kind premission of Mr and Mrs Hugh Jones. It was well attended, and an address was delivered to the little ones. At the close of the meeting a branch of the Children's Union in connection with the above Society was formed, and the names of 29 children given in, Miss E Atcherley undertaking to be secretary, to whom all work done by the children should be sent. The sum of XI 6s was collected at that meeting, which will be devoted towards paying for a ward in St Nicholas Home for crippled children. There was a large attendance on Monday even. ing at the meeting held at the Church House, Rhyl, on behalf of the Church of England Incor- porated Society for providing Homes for Waifs and Strays. It bad been arranged that the meet- ing should be held in connection with the Church Workers' Union. The Vicar presided, and several ladies under the direction of Miss Foxwell, London, gave instrumental seleotions. The Vicar in opening the meeting said he felt sure that the performances of the ladies would arouse their deepest sympathy on behalf of the Society which they were assembled to help. It was an omen, and a good one he hoped, of the interest which would be taken in that parish on behalf of the Church of England Society for Waifs and Strays. The meeting that evening was an informal one of the Church Workers' Union, and he was glad to see so many present, as they bad come together at very short notice, and especially as it had been arranged that the meetings of the Church Workers' Union should not commence until next month. He had also to announce that the Sale of Work recently held realised the nett amount of Z50, and he hoped they would that evening add substantially to that sum. He was afraid that some of the societies which they had been able to assist in the past would this year be left out in the cold because they had not so much money at their disposal. As that was the first meeting of the season, he hoped they would all make an effort to do something for the Sale of Work next year. He was sure Mr Monro, who represented the Society, felt glad that there were so many present to express their sympathy for the work of the care of little children. Personally he was pleased to be present to show on behalf of the parish that interest was taken in the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society. It was a society which was carried on by their own church, and was deserving of the support of each indi- vidual member. They had heard from the repre- sentatives of th? Society that good work was being done, and they should take more interest in it as they had in their midst evidence of the work. As they were aware Mrs Ffoulkes had several of the children entrusted to her care by the Society, and the tender motherly care which she bestowed on them was but one instance of what was being done elsewhere. He knew of a case in which the Society had been able to take a child from a family which had lost father and mother, and it had a special claim on Church people because not only did it provide the children with homes, and teach them trades, but it looked after their moral character, and brought them up according to the principles of the Church of England. He hoped that they would do all they could o support the Society. The Rev J Grosvenor Monro then explained at length the objects of the Society, ft nd the good work which they accomplished. He aid they en- deavoured to give the children home fe, and to fit them in every way to earn their o wn living. They did not believe in training children in large institutions, but in small homes. He considered that the nation owed a debt of gratitude to the work of Waifs and Strays Societies. They were making the country more sober, reducing the number of criminals and paupers. He was pleased to see that Rhyl took such an interest in the Society, and appealed earnestly for help towards the work of the North Wales Branch. At the close of the meeting theVicar said he was sure the Local Secretarv, Miss Grace Atcherley, would be glad to receive help, and he hoped that el every member of the Church would consider that they belonged to the Church Workers' Union and "I help. The collection amounted to 24 17s. 71,-d.
