HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES

The Childrens Advocate

The Organ of The Children?s Home

1898 volume of the monthly magazines edited by Thomas Bowman Stephenson founder of the Children?s Home later to become The National Children?s Home.

"CANADA

Three years and a half ago we admitted into The Children's Home a lad named Harold Morley. A quiet, well-behaved boy we found him to be; and when two years after his admission a party of lads was selected for emigration, there was no hesitation in including Harold and a brother in the party.

He speedily found work on a Canadian farm, and greatly endeared himself to his master and the family. But unfortunately, as it seems to us, he fell ill, and was removed to the Hospital, where he was visited by Mr. Hills, the Governor of the Canadian Branch of the Home, and also by his former master.

After the acute symptoms were relieved, it was decided that Harold would never be fit for hard work, and that it was best for him to return to England, in the hope that he might be benefited by his native air. At first it seemed as if the hope was to be realised, for the lad certainly improved in health. But it was only for a short time. Disease had laid hold on him, and very soon it became obvious that he was dying. Throughout the last painful illness he gave cheering evidence that the religious truths which had been taught in the Home had taken deep root, and were bearing fruit in meekness and patience, in faith and love. " Jesus loves me, this I know," he said simply on one occasion, and more than once through his last sleepless weeks he declared, " I can see the angels." Harold is another sheaf in the great harvest, the full extent of which we, who have sown the seed in weakness, shall be permitted to see in the great day of the Lord."
