Souvenir Book of Michigan Home for Girls

THE “Souvenir Book,” of the Michigan Home for Girls is an interesting publication issued in the interest of a good work. The Home is under the management of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. McKee, who are well known to many of the readers of the REVIEW. It is located seven miles from Grand Rapids, Mich., on a farm of forty acres which was provided for this purpose in a providential manner. The following information concerning this worthy institution will be of interest: “The young women who are received are not required to pay for the privileges they enjoy. The officers and managers receive no salaries. The Home, however, is industrial—all work. Pure air, exercise, out-of-door life, healthful surroundings, and wholesome food are remedial agents which God can always bless for moral and physical renovation. He has blessed them here in a marked manner. The Home has sheltered twenty-eight girls. Two of these are honorably married. Five are at home with their parents. Six are in honorable employment at service. Four are missionaries. Two have been sent away as incorrigible. At present there are nine at the Home. Thirty have been refused for lack of room.” Contributions for the support of this work will be thankfully received. Address Michigan Home for Girls, 14 Worden St., Grand Rapids, Mich.
