The committee's report, which with the financial statement was adopted, is as follows —" W« desire to draw attention to the abov« financial statement of the Women's Home in Parnell. This institution, which deserves the support of every Christian man and woman, is doing a good work in a quiet and unostentatious manner,—in fact, without the aid of sounding arum and tinkling cymbal. The aim of the committee is to inculcate domestic habits and industry; and it will be seen that the labour of those benefited has resulted in the receipt of £129 9s 5d for work done, so that the asylum is self-supporting to that extent. We recommend ' the Home' as a safe investment for capitalists.
