A FRIEND TO CHILDREN
Miss Sliar.man, an old lady of 95, who lives in a quiet square in crowded Southwark (Eng.), has run an orphanage there for over 60 years without once advertising for subscriptions or getting into debt. “Money has been given to me simply in answer to prayer,” she says. The orphanage, which cost £25,000 to build, began almost by accident. Miss Sharman, wno kept a little school in the house of her parents, undertook the charge of two small girls who would otherwise have had to go to th.e workhouse. Neighbours persuaded her to take others; now there are 200 and the orphanage has several branches.
