NAZARETH HOUSE, CHRISTCHURCH

HOME FOR AGED POOR AND OHPHAN AND INCURABLE CHILDREN.

This Institution is a Branch oF tho well-known NTaznreth House, Hammersmith, London, which lias 29 Branch Houses in the United Kingdom, Africa, and Australia; affords a permanent home to aged and infirm poor of both sexes, also to Orphan and Incurable Girls (those entirely idiotic or suftentig irom fits excepted). The Homo has no funds, and depends entirely for the support of the poor on the alms collected daily by the Sisters in money, food, and clothes. J he aged poor are received without distinction as to creed or country, and lelt perfectly free to attend their own place oi worship. A number of applications had to be refused for want of space, and the Sisters were obliged to build and thus incur a very heavy debt; but they rely entirely 'upon Divine providence and the generosity of their many kind benefactors (which has never yet failed them) to enable them to pay off this debt. The House may be visited daily between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Cheques and p.o. orders may be made payable to the Superior, Mother M. Felix.
