The Baker Mountain Home

By D. T. Shireman

THE Baker Mountain Home for Orphans is located seven miles west of Hickory, N. C. Here we have eighty acres of land. When this is paid for, and the home furnished, we expect to obtain the living for the family from the products of this farm, thus making it a self-sustaining work. At present we are putting in our first crop, but it will require much work to bring the land up to produce a full crop. We have a nice young peach orchard, and we are expecting some of the trees to bear this year. Some strawberry plants have also been put out, and it is our desire, by the help of the Lord, to make this a model home.

This home is dedicated to the orphan work, and is under the charge of Brethren Charles Maples and A. W. Sanborn, and their wives.

It is my intention to spend my time in raising money by selling our magazines and books to finish paying for the land, and I would be glad to have some of our young people who are interested in this project and the sale of our magazines, join with me in sending the profits to the Baker Mountain Orphan Home, R. F. D. 5, Box 26, Hickory, N. C., to help pay for this land between now and January, 1911. You will be placing precious reading-matter in the homes of the people who need it, and will also be helping us pay the debt of the home.
