At the close of this simpleirvice, which is always greatly enjoyedy the children, they march to the Dining Hall where tea is served. On a recentSunday they were addressed briefly byRev. Jacob Freshman and Mr. J. W. Can-non, the Evangelist, after which spoke for a few minutes. At theSunday School lesson their answers arefrequently very bright, showing remark-ably acute minds, quick to understandand appreciate the meaning of the lessonwhen it has been explained to them. Among the children at the Home thisseason are many sickly and deformed,who in former years would have been re-jected. This is owing to the presence of ahouse-physician at the Home, whose med-ical treatment hasprovedvery. b e nencialto the lit-tle suffer-ers. Onechild hadan ugly abscess on the lower jaw, another hadeves and ears and lips affected with per-sistent sores, but Dr. Halls skilful treat-ment has already made a great change inthe condition of the little patients. Whenit is stated that there are now seldom lessthan twenty-five sickly ones at Mont-Lawn at any time, the importance of themedical department will be better appreci-ated. These pale and emaciated little pa-tients have already learned to love theHome and its kind doctor and nurses. Itis surprising what an improvement a sin-gle week sometimes produces. When thechild is obviously in need of a longerstav to effect a permanent improvement,the ten-dav rule is relaxed in its behalf,and its outing is extended for a few daysand possiblv a week longer. Several ofthe little invalids have been sent homefully restored. One seldom sees anything lovelier thanthe scene that occurs at Mont-Lawn everyevening
