The Gordon Boys' Home.—On Sunday, the 25th January, the clay preceding the anniversary of the death of General Gordon, the Rev. Canon Teignmouth Shore preached at Sandringham Church, at the invitation of the Prince of Wales, in support of this institution, which has been established as the national memorial to Gordon under the presidency of His Royal Highness. At Westminster Abbey, on the same day, Archdeacon Farrar made a similar appeal to a large congregation, pleading earnestly for funds much needed to enable the buildings to be completed according to the original plan for the accommodation of 320 boys. _ At present not more than 200 boys are maintained, the income of the institution not exceeding £3500. To effect the desired object, the Committee require an annual income of £7000. At His Royal Highness's request both sermons have been printed, and copies can be obtained on sending a directed wrapper and seven stamps to the Secretary Gordon Boys' Home, 20, Cockspur-streetj S.W., to whom subscriptions and donations may also be sent.
