"Expecting Him, my door was open wide, Then I looked round If any lack of service might be found And saw Him at my side." "I was hungry and ye gave me meat, thirsty and ye gave me grink; sick and ye visited me; in prison and ye came unto Me." |

| "The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the
lads." HOLY WRIT. The Friendless Orphan and Delinquent Lad is our special care. One hundred each year come to us. They come from the street, through welfare and other societies, and some from the Police Courts. We try to give them a new start in life under Christian influence. The response to our efforts is seen in thousands of lads, many with anti-social and some with criminal tendencies, who have made good. |

| The homeless man has called Brunswick Hall "The Haven in the East
End." For over twenty years we have sheltered and fed an average of 300 per
week. The L.C.C. has extended its service for these destitute brothers of ours, but they can never do what Christian benevolence can do. Hope without humiliation, the chance of Redemption which covers both body and soul, is what we offer and what is gratefully received |

| The mothers are the real heroes of the slums. They must go on, day after day, struggling, enduring, suffering. Our meetings are the bright spots which relieve the gloom; holidays and treats their escape from confined conditions; thrift clubs and the Benevolent Room, lighten their burden and are oft-times a present help in time of need. |

| The young people must needs be our particular care. Home life as you and I know it is unknown to them. They live in shocking tenements with conveniences and privacy at a minimum. Their playground is the street and the gutter. |  The Children's Christmas Party |

We do our best to counteract these conditions with Sunday School, Junior Classes, Cinema Entertainments., C.L.B., Scouts, Cubs, Gymnasium, Holidays and Treats. | |||

END "In a world where sorrow will be known, Let us scatter sunshine everywhere we go." These Homes provide holidays for Christian people in a Christian atmosphere at moderate charges. We have no dividends to provide and they are not used for profit. Between the busy weeks we give Free holidays and holidays at a very small, charge to needy people. Think what it means for the poor to have such holidays by the sea and in a Home furnished for comfort and good-fellowship One thousand visitors per year is our average and of these more than one-third are our guests through the generosity of the friends of the poor. |

| A sick man helped by thee Shall make thee strong; Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou renderest." E. B. B. The maintenance of Whitechapel's great work involves thought and labour. Services and Meetings-Collection and distribution of clothing and other necessities Visitation of the sick and poor in hospitals and institutions-Arranging outings and holidays-The upkeep of our extensive property-Propaganda-Financial responsibility-it is all in the day's work. We can truthfully say we work 12 hours a day seven days a week. The Institute is an ever-open door ; we live on the spot and are always at call. There is no escape. We serve the poor. We do our own book-keeping ; correspondence is considerable. We have to do business with Welfare Societies and Institutions of all sorts and the Police Courts. We depend entirely upon the prayers, interest and gifts of those who consider the poor and those ready to perish. Help is always needed and gratefully acknowledged. "So let the love of Jesus come And set thy soul ablaze. To give and give, and give again, What God hath given thee." STUDDERT KENNEDY. |
